    It’s back to knock-out football as the Shakers face NWCFL rivals Burscough in the Isuzu FA Vase second qualifying round (kick-off 3.00pm).
     

    This follows hard on the heels of Tuesday’s thrilling 1-1 away NWCFL draw with league leaders and local rivals Ramsbottom United and last Saturday’s thumping 3-0 FA Cup away victory over Blyth Spartans.


    The games keep coming as we progress in two cup competitions and try to catch up with an early season deficit in league games played.
     

    Rustam Stepans scored the spectacular equaliser against the Rams. Facing away from goal and with his marker at his back, Stepans flicked the ball over his head with his right foot and turned to volley it into the net with his left.
     

    The goals at Blyth came from Alex Cherera, Bebeto Gomes and Connor Pye – his first for the club. And what a game they set up! The draw on Monday paired the Shakers with ultimate local rivals Radcliffe Borough in the third qualifying round.
     

    The Isuzu FA Vase is the leading knock-out competition for tiers 9 and 10 of the English football league system. The winners of the Bury-Burscough game go into the first round proper on Saturday 19 October.

    In Opposition – Burscough

    Burscough are currently 10th in the NWCFL – four places below Bury – with 17 points from 13 games compared with Bury’s 21 from 9. Last weekend they lost 6-0 at home to Ramsbottom and on Tuesday drew 2-2 at FC St Helens.
     

    The club came into existence in 1946. They were founder members of the North-West Counties league in 1982, and topped the table in its first year. Last season they finished 20th, having drawn 2-2 with Bury both at home and away.
     

    Their greatest triumph was winning the FA Trophy in 2003, when they beat Tamworth 2-1 at Villa Park in front of a crowd of 15,000.
