We’re back home after a three-week break, after wrapping up two amazing away wins in St Helens. Now, we’re all set to keep our winning streak going and make it 12 on the bounce.
We want to give a big shoutout to the fans who made the trip down the M62 two weekends in a row to cheer on the Shakers. You guys were incredible, creating that atmosphere that really pumps up the lads on the pitch!
A win would really crank up the pressure on our promotion rivals, Lower Breck, as they face FC Isle of Man in Douglas in the late Saturday evening kick off, we’ll be streaming the game live in Starkies from 6pm.
So, get down to Gigg, be loud, be proud and roar us on to another victory and let’s make up for that frustrating 4-4 draw in our first league game of the year.
You’ll be treated to some fantastic entertainment at halftime, with choirs and two solo singers brought together by our friends at English National Opera. Let’s show them how we support our team: UP THE SHAKERS!!!
In Opposition – Squires Gate
This will be a tough encounter as we face a team fighting for their premier division lives.
An away victory over FC Isle of Man on March 8th gave their fans a glimmer of hope, but the facts stare them in the face.
Over the season so far, Gate have collected only 28 points from 42 matches, leaving them at the bottom of the table. That win in Douglas was the only one in their last six games, along with two draws and three defeats.
But Gate are led by a shrewd manager in Luke Evans, who’s been at the Brian Addison Stadium since 2019. They’ll be well organised and hard to break down.
