After a strong opening, the Blue Devils gradually tightened their grip on the game and never allowed the hosts to establish any sustained momentum.

Bury combined disciplined offence with relentless defensive pressure to pull away as the contest progressed, eventually securing a convincing 32-point win.

A standout performer for the visitors was man of the match Steve White, whose deadly shooting from beyond the three-point line punished the Cardinal Langley defence throughout the evening.

White's accuracy from long range helped Bury build and maintain control whenever the hosts looked to close the gap.

The foundations of the victory were once again laid at the defensive end of the court.

Chris Ogden, Jay Knowles, and Henry Powell led an aggressive full-court pressure defence that has become a defining feature of this Blue Devils squad.

Their intensity forced turnovers, disrupted offensive rhythm and generated numerous scoring opportunities in transition.

Veteran Nick Metcalfe delivered another commanding all-round performance, contributing on both ends of the floor.

His experience, leadership and composure provided a calming influence throughout the game while also making a significant impact on the scoreboard and defensive effort.

The victory was built on a complete team display, with every player contributing to a performance that showcased the growing identity of this Bury side: hard-working defence, selfless teamwork and efficient offence.

With a place in the next round secured, the Blue Devils will take plenty of confidence from a polished cup performance as they continue their season.
