NEW Bury keeper Jim Provett is after an early season hat-trick.

The former Hartlepool man has kept clean sheets in his last two friendlies against Blackpool and Barnsley.

And he would love to do the same when the Shakers' League Two season kicks off at MK Dons on Saturday.

"Pre season is all about getting your fitness and minutes under your belt," said Provett.

"But most of the lads at the back, apart from Dave Challinor, are quite new, so the games have been good for getting to know them."
