BURY take on Northampton Town in what will be a new experience for the Shakers - Sunday football.

And it will also be a new experience for David Borley.

The new star in the Bury ranks is no longer the new boy and will find the weight of expectancy on his shoulders.

Borley is just 18 but after only a couple of first team appearances he is already being tipped for great things.

He is also a breath of fresh air.

After his sparkling display in Wednesday's win against Cardiff City - when he scored the third goal and secured three points - he was obviously the man asked to come up to the press room to face the media.

He walked in looking like a five-year-old lad being asked to pilot an aircraft. "Er, I'm not very good at this," he said with wide, worried eyes.

He spoke to the local media before someone, from BBC Wales I think, butted in and began asking him if he thought that Cardiff were just big time Charlies who weren't worth the wages they were paid.

The rest of us could see what the radio man wanted - a Bury player having a pop at his team; a nice controversial story. Fortunately Borley was sensible enough not to rise to the bait. He did little more than agree with the interviewer though - judging by some of the stories on various websites the next day - that wasn't enough to stop some journalists writing the story.

But Borley did well and tomorrow he will have a chance to build on his early success on the pitch, by putting Northampton Town to the sword.

It is a game that, to use a well-worn cliche, is a real six-pointer with both teams at the wrong end of the table.

A fourth consecutive home win for Andy Preece's side though and mid-table safety will seem a lot more attainable than it did a month ago.
