Our valiant FA Cup effort came to an end mid-week at Harrogate town, falling cruelly short of a FA Cup first round proper appearance for the first time since the 2018/19 season.
But as one door closes another opens for The Shakers, with Prescot Cables visiting Gigg Lane in the FA Trophy First Round this weekend.
The first in a run of four consecutive home games, Antony Johnson’s side will be hoping to make the most of our excellent home form against a side a division below.
Our opposition currently sit third in the Northern Premier League West Division.
In Opposition – Prescot Cables
Prescot Cables were founded in 1884, with their name hailing from the largest local employer – insulated cables.
The club’s glory years came in the mid-50s, where they were promoted to Lancashire Combination Division One, going on to win the league two seasons after, whilst recording a record 18-3 victory against Great Harwood.
The club were promoted to the Northern Premier League Division One in the 2001/02 season, moving to their highest flight, the Northern Premier League Premier Division, just three seasons later.
The club currently sit in the Northern Premier League West Division after relegation on the final day of the 2025/26 campaign.
