IT'S a good job Bury didn't need a positive result from this game to make the play-offs-otherwise they wouldn't have got there.

A much changed Shakers line-up to the one that clinched a semi-final place at Southend was no match for their Welsh visitors.

Wrexham's victory was their eighth in a row and it was easy to see why they have secured a quick return to division two.

Apart from a couple of moments, including one shot from Jon Newby that was well saved, they were second best in most departments.

Bury fell a goal behind after just seven minutes when a long range attempt skimmed past Glynn Garner.

That's the way it stayed until early in the second half when Danny Swailes put through his own net for the second time this season.

Attempting to clear a cross from Andy Morrell for a corner, Swailes headed past Garner from close range.

Wrexham completed the scoring when ex Stalybridge Celtic marksman played in Sir Alex Ferguson's lad, Darren, and the one-time Old Trafford midfielder picked his spot from 12 yards.

At least the gate of 5,186 was of some consolation - Bury's second biggest attendance of the campaign.

Bothered by the result or was it a meaningless match? Have your say
