When Dave Russell’s team of the 1960/1961 season impressively claimed the Football League Division Three Championship, they did so in swashbuckling style.  Three players – Don Watson, Bill Calder and Alan Jackson (pictured left to right below) – each scored more than twenty goals and the Shakers created a new club record by scoring an impressive 108 league goals. Speed forward to 2025 and Dave McNabb’s boys have now already beaten that record – and with seven games still remaining!  Those

The Shakers’ comfortable 2-0 win at home to Barnoldswick Town was our ninth in succession – a run we aim to continue and clinch promotion. And what a treat to be roared on by another big gate: 3,497. Just six games to go – three at home and three away. This weekend it’s FC St Helens away, followed in a week’s time by a visit to their neighbours, Pilkington. Then it’s back to Gigg Lane on March 29 for the visit of Squires Gate – currently second to bottom. The mood music that day will be prov

Bury won 2-0 in a tightly fought game against Barnoldswick Town, Manager Dave McNabb spoke to the club to give us his thoughts on the game. Dave McNabb: “Obviously really pleased to get the three points and another win. I think obviously the run’s been really good and the lads, massive credit to the lads. To start with the negatives, I think I was a little bit disappointed. We could have been more clinical. First half, we missed two one-on-ones, we had another good chance off a corner. Probabl

Our stunning 7-0 victory against Litherland REMYCA in front of 3,315 extended our fantastic winning run to eight games and extending the gap at the top of the table. We were given a lift even before the kick-off when Ramsbottom lost at home to FC St Helens on Friday night. And the big margin of victory more than made up for the result in the reverse fixture at Litherland in December. Five goals before half time and seven separate scorers demonstrated the terrific attacking mindset in the tea
