It’s the final game in our Gigg Lane triple header this week, as we host Cheadle Town on Bank Holiday Monday.
Saturday saw us book our place into the next round of the FA Vase, with a 3-1 win over Maghull. After a goalless first half. Iyrwah Gooden got the first goal inside five second half minutes, before Bebeto Gomes poked home from close range on 73 minutes. Maghull’s Adam Hammill grabbed a goal back with an amazing free kick, whilst Alik Babayan sealed the victory in stoppage time.
We return to the league action in sixth position, five points off league leaders Ramsbottom who picked up another league victory on Saturday, in one of the five league games played whilst the Shakers were in cup action.
You can hear from manager Dave McNabb and the outgoing Efe Ambrose, as well as catchup on the match highlights below:
In Opposition – Cheadle Town
Cheadle Town are in 10th position in the league, having drawn 0-0 at home to Stockport Town on Wednesday evening in their last league outing before a 3-1 win in the FA Vase against Glasshoughton Welfare.
They started life in 1961 as a Sunday League side called Grasmere Rovers and took their present name in 1983 when they joined the NWCFL. They finally reached the Premier Division after a highly successful 2022-23 season and finished in 13th position in 2023-24.
