Andy Bishop and Glynn Hurst grabbed two goals each as Bury thumped Gillingham.

The Shakers went ahead when Bishop stabbed home an inviting cross from Mike Jones and Hurst doubled the lead with a header from a corner.

Elliott Bennett and Hurst combined for Bishop to tap home Bury's third from close range after the break.

Bishop teed up Hurst to head home the fourth against a lacklustre Gills side whose best chance saw Adam Miller's late penalty saved by Wayne Brown.
