Just like that, it’s the last home game of the season. Bury will welcome visitors to Gigg lane for the final time this season, this time in the form of 8th placed Witton Albion.
The Shakers go into the game two points clear at the top after a 1-0 win over Nantwich town, with Avro FC hot in pursuit. With only two to play, Anthony Johnson’s side will know the importance of a win this weekend.
Last time the two sides faced, Witton condemned Bury to a 3-0 defeat in late November after a series of inconsistent performances.
In Opposition – Witton Albion
Witton Albion were founded in 1887, and have a long history of cup success.
They have won the Cheshire cup 11 times, and reached the FA Cup Second round on three occasions.
An inner city area in Birmingham, Witton had a bitter rivalry with Northwich Victoria, who they controversially shared a ground with in the 2015/16 season.
The side were promoted to the NPL West in the 2016/17 season, when they picked up close to 100 points and scored 100 goals to secure automatic promotion.
