Bury defeated Shrewsbury 1-0 on Thursday night in their semi-final first-leg play-off match.

Bury had an 81st minute Neil Ashton own goal to thank for the win and Shakers boss Alan Knill said after the match: "It doesn't matter how you win, it really doesn't matter.

"If you work really hard then you get your rewards and I don't think anybody can say we didn't put in a shift. And we got our reward, a win, which is fantastic.

"For us to win in a play-off semi-final here is a fantastic achievement for us. Nobody expected us to win here except us.

"It's going to be another really tough game at our place but I think we're ready for it."
