Match Info: Lower Breck (H), Sat 25th Jan, 3pm KO
Lower Breck are in good form, having won their last six matches, but they have to play Pilkington less than 48 hours prior to their trip to Gigg and our win last weekend as well as a strengthened squad send us into what we know will be a tough game brimming with confidence.
The Shakers’ performance in the victory at Barnoldswick was excellent, especially in the second half. And the scoreline could have been even more impressive had it not been for Jack McGovern’s penalty heroics and a late consolation depriving us of a clean sheet.
This first home game of 2025 marks a fresh start, with a stronger and hopefully more settled squad as we go into our last 14 games.
The competition at the top of the league is hotting up. So…the call goes out again. Be there. Be part of it. Be loud. Up the Shakers!!!

In Opposition – Lower Breck
Lower Breck are currently fourth in the table, with 61 points from 30 games compared with our 67 from 32. So they, too, are well on target to achieve their goal of promotion. Their last six matches – every one a win – have yielded 18 goals, with only two against.
The club came into being 14 years ago to provide a youth team for the Tuebrook area of Liverpool and plays at the Anfield Sports Community Centre. They removed the age barrier with the aim of becoming the top non-league club in Liverpool – a target reflected in the motto on their coat of arms: nulli secondus (second to none).
Lower Breck joined the NWCFL in 2019 and were promoted to the Premier Division four years ago.
