Bury FC News

We can confirm the departure of striker Andy Briggs, who has signed for West Didsbury & Chorlton. Following a seven-day approach by West, Andy informed the management of his wish to leave the football club. The 26-year-old joined the Shakers in July 2023 from Steeton, and made 33 appearances for the club last season, scoring 25 goals. He made a further 12 this season and has also had a spell with Widnes on dual-registration. We’d like to wish Andy all the best for the f

The first of three successive away games provides the Shakers with one of the toughest challenges of our season so far. Lower Breck are among the top teams in the league, and look certain to be among those scrapping for the promotion places come April. So they will be keen to end our unbeaten run of 21 games.  The Shakers go into the challenge having had a week to reflect on our outstanding 8-0 home win against Longridge Town and extra training to further boost the skills on view in that ga

The Shakers host Darwen FC Women on Sunday, in what is set to be a challenging match on home turf. Darwen currently sit first in the Premier Division of the North West Women’s Regional Football League, with Bury sitting tenth. Darwen have won eight of their ten league games this season, suffering defeat to only Fleetwood Town (3-1) and Trammere Rovers (2-3). Head down to Gigg Lane and support the girls as they look to get a win. Tickets available on the gate.

We can confirm the departure of winger, Iyrwah Gooden, who has joined Bradford Park Avenue. The 24-year-old joined the club in the summer after leaving NCEL champions Emley. He made 25 appearances for the Shakers, scoring five goals, including a debut goal against Squires Gate in July. Manager, Dave McNabb commented: “I’d like to wish Iyrwah the very best of luck at Bradford PA. A great player and an even better person. His smile, character and personality will be hugely missed b

This home cup-tie provides us with a double benefit: we can give Under-23s players game time and have an extra training session before the tough fixture against high-flying Lower Breck on Saturday.   It also gives fans a chance to get along to Gigg Lane to recall and celebrate our outstanding performance of the season. The stunning 8-0 home win against Longridge gave morale a massive boost right across the club.   And there will now be no NWCFL game at Gigg Lane until we entertain

It wouldn’t be surprising if Longridge Town come to Gigg Lane fired up with determination to take revenge for the 5-1 defeat we inflicted on them last month, when they visit Gigg Lane this weekend.   It was a score that perhaps flattered the Shakers back in October, conceding three penalties in the game but after overcoming that storm and Mitch Allen saving two of the penalties, the result was empthatic in the end. Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw against Charnock Richard proved that we won’
