It was a bank holiday weekend of highs and lows for The Shakers, who succumbed to a 2-1 defeat on the road to Hyde United on Monday afternoon after smashing Ilkeston Town 7-0 two days prior.
Now, Anthony Johnson’s side set their sights on a run of home games, welcoming Wythenshawe in the First Qualifying Round of the Emirates FA Cup this Saturday.
The Shakers will hope to capitalise on our stellar form at Gigg Lane so far, having won three of their first four home games.
Wythenshawe progressed after beating Mossley 2-0 at home, their third win of the season.
In Opposition – Wythenshawe
Wythenshawe were originally founded in 1946 by Reg Gauntlet, who was a local Window Cleaner, becoming members of the South Manchester and Wythenshawe League.
After being evicted from their home of 32 years in May 2015, the club secured £812,000 of funding to build a new clubhouse and pitch.
The club won back to back titles in 2023 and 2024, reaching their highest level, the Northern Premier League West Division, in the process.
In recent years, Wythenshawe have received online stardom for a veterans team that boasts multiple ex-internationals and Premier League winners, including Stephen Ireland, Emile Heskey, Danny Drinkwater, Papiss Cisse, Antonio Valencia, and Joleon Lescott.
