Bury won 1-0 to extend their lead at the summit to 7 points, goalkeeper Mitch Allen spoke to the club to give us his thoughts on the game. Mitch Allen: “Yeah, it’s nice to get the win, but ideally four or five definite goals we should have had. It’s nice to get the clean sheet, as always, we’ve made it seven on the bounce now, hopefully next week we can make it eight.” He then spoke about how Bury keep racking up the clean sheets this season he said “Yeah, definitely.

Bury held on to go 7 points clear at the top of the table after a 1-0 win over South Liverpool, Manager Dave McNabb spoke to the club to give us his thoughts on the game. Dave McNabb: “I think last week I came out and said that the all-round quality of the game was exceptional for the level of football we’re at. I think today’s probably been the complete opposite, possibly one of the worst games of football we’ve seen this season. I think it was so stop-start, I don’t think the officials h

Everyone at Bury Football Club was saddened to hear of the passing of former Shaker Hughen Riley, after battling Leukaemia in recent years.   Hughen was a Lancashire lad, born in Accrington, but he started his professional career with Rochdale, appearing in Dale’s first team for five seasons, amassing 114 league and cup appearances.  He then spent four years with Crewe Alexandra, adding another 131 games before transferring to Gigg Lane for a fee of £4,000 on 1 December 1974 at the age of 25.

Nevertheless it was sweet revenge for the result in the reverse game just a few short weeks ago. What told in the end was the high quality and fighting spirit of our players. Josh Gregory’s
