Bury missed out on their chance to move top of the League Two table after being held to a 1-1 draw at Cheltenham.
Knowing three points would take them above leaders Lincoln on goal difference, the Shakers made a strong start, opening the scoring through Scott Wharton's 13th-minute header after Jay O'Shea's cross.
Scott Flinders had already made an outstanding save to deny Dominic Telford and Byron Moore slammed an effort into the side netting.
Cheltenham were forced to withstand some heavy pressure after falling behind, but they stood firm and found a leveller in the 33rd minute.
A free-kick from Chris Clements caused problems in the Bury box and Charlie Raglan set up Billy Waters to make it 1-1 with a close-range finish. It was the forward's first goal since returning to Cheltenham on loan from Northampton.
Bury asked questions of Cheltenham in the second half and substitute Nicky Maynard had the ball in the net for Bury late on, but the offside flag was raised and Ryan Lowe's side had to settle for a point.
