Millers share spoils with Shakers

ROTHERHAM United played out an entertaining goalless draw against promotion rivals Bury at Don Valley Stadium this afternoon.

The Millers gave at least as good as they got against the second-placed visitors, with Adam Le Fondre forcing a goalline clearance inside the first minute and Nicky Law foiled in a one-on-one with Shakers goalkeeper Cameron Belford in the second half.

Steven Schumacher and lively winger Kyle Bennett both tested Andy Warrington in the home goal in an end to end contest.

The draw means the Millers remain five points behind Alan Knill’s side going into the final ten games of the season.

Millers: Warrington, Tonge, Kennedy, Cresswel (c), Mullins, Thomas-Moore (Daley 71), Law, J. Taylor (Harrison 71), Marshall, Le Fondre, R. Taylor.

Bury: Belford, Picken, Skarz, Lees, Sodje, Bennett (Haworth 68), Schumacher (c), Sweeney, Worrall, Lowe, Bishop (Holroyd 68).
