We’re back on home soil this weekend, taking on Kidsgrove Athletic after what has felt like an incredibly long stretch of games away.
In his post-match interview over the weekend, Dave expressed his pride in the group. Who despite facing an unprecedented revolving door of injuries, the team performed well against a very strong Vauxhall side.
Tyler James returned to the lineup in Ellesmere Port bagging a brace and DJ Pedro scored his 30th league goal in Bury colours.
We enter this week in a position where we have two training sessions ahead of us before Saturday’s game and hoping to have one or two players back in contention before the weekend.
So with that said, we need our 12th man! Get down to Gigg, bang that drum, sing your hearts out and get behind your Shakers!
In Opposition – Kidsgrove Athletic
The club formed in 1952 as a breakaway from Kidsgrove United, has grown from local league beginnings to become an established Northern Premier League club.
Kidsgrove Athletic have played at this level since the 2002-03 season in its various guises, having peaked at fourth place in 2010.
Ex Shaker Tom Pope has been joint manager with Matty Rhead since mid-way through last season, and it wasn’t an easy period. Kidsgrove survived with the 1 point required to stay up.
Oliver Jepson, son of Ronnie, has also re-joined Kidsgrove for a second spell since leaving Gigg Lane, via Stafford Rangers.
They are 12th in the table, having won five from their opening 14 in the league.
