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.

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

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’
