Tranmere's Pontin's Holidays League season ended in disappointment as four first half goals earned Bury the points while Aaron Cresswell was shown a red card late on.

Rovers had enjoyed the better of the early chances with Paul Henry and trialist Phil Marsh going close from outside the area, while Cresswell forced a save from the left wing.

However, on 18 minutes the visitors took the lead when Marc Pugh headed in from close range from a corner, and two minutes later it was 2-0 when Dale Stephens slotted under Shane McWeeney after running on to a through ball.

On 39 minutes Bury went 3-0 up through Jack Dorney and the scoring was completed four minutes later when Domaine Rouse headed in from 15 yards after McWeeney had parried Pugh's shot.

Marsh and Henry both missed chances in the second half, while Cresswell was shown red for two bookings on 76 minutes.

Tranmere: McWeeney, James, Holmes, Johnston, Cresswell, Marsh, Wilson, Henry, Barratt, Blundell (Denson 52), Gornell. Substitutes not used: Kennedy, McGarry, Macauley, Beahon.
