The Shakers go into our local derby at Prestwich after a great run of results – including a 5-2 home win against Heys on December 28th.
Since then we have established a clear lead at the top of the league and turned in some excellent performances – including Tuesday night’s 3-2 win against Isle of Man. But the game had more drama than many a TV crime series.
The Manx men took an early lead and levelled the scores at 2-2 four minutes from full-time. But our winner in the fourth minute of added time was a goal of stunning quality.
Bryan Ly’s pin-point accurate corner found the head of in-form striker Djavan Pedro, and the ground erupted.
But there’s no room for complacency as we take on Heys. They’re fighting hard to avoid relegation.
It’s a sell-out, so there’s scope for lots of noise. Up the Shakers!!!
In Opposition – Prestwich Heys
An up-and-down season for Heys has mostly been down. But some decent results in the last few weeks have lifted them off the bottom of the table.
On Tuesday they won 2-1 at West Didsbury and Chorlton, who beat us 4-0 on the same ground in our first game in 2025.
Four wins in their last six games have lifted Heys into sixth position in the form table – in contrast to their 22nd place in the league with 24 points out of a possible 105.
