Here. We. Go! After a fantastic pre-season, seeing us win seven out of our seven games with four clean sheets and only three goals conceded and 14 goals scored, against a mix of opponents from higher and lower divisions, we head into the new campaign looking sharp with one aim: Promotion to the Northern Premier League. Recruitment has gone well over the summer with many new faces coming in and some quickly on there way to already becoming fan favourites. We go into the first game with

The manager-less Shakers head over to the seaside this mid-week in the North West Counties Football League Premier Division to take on Squires Gate at the Brian Addison Stadium, kick-off is 7.45pm. A 2-1 defeat on Merseyside to Lower Breck on Saturday dropped us to fifth position in the league and as a result Andy Welsh left his post after three years at the helm of the club. The show goes on and in quick fashion, with under-23s managers Leon Mike and Stephen ‘Sas’ Sheil taking charge

We’re back home after a three-week break, after wrapping up two amazing away wins in St Helens. Now, we’re all set to keep our winning streak going and make it 12 on the bounce. We want to give a big shoutout to the fans who made the trip down the M62 two weekends in a row to cheer on the Shakers. You guys were incredible, creating that atmosphere that really pumps up the lads on the pitch! A win would really crank up the pressure on our promotion rivals, Lower Breck, as they face FC Isle of

We return to Gigg Lane for our second league game in three days, as we host Squires Gate in the NWCFL. This is a chance to extend our lead at the top of the league, so get on down and get behind the boys!   Saturday saw an emphatic 4-0 win against Wythenshawe Town, a debut hat-trick from Joe Duckworth and Andy Scarisbrick also on the scoresheet gave Dave McNabb’s side a perfect Saturday afternoon. Debutants Harry Wright & Joe Duckworth both spoke to the media following the week

After that great win at home to Lower Breck, we face a different kind of challenge – a team even newer to this league than we are, and packed with lively young players. Lower Breck were beating everybody in sight, but we beat them in some style. The first half was probably our best 45 minutes of the season so far. Yes, we gave them a window of opportunity by sitting back at 3-1. But we made it, and overall were the better team by some distance.   The last six weeks have been toug

Shakers go into their midweek home game against Stockport cock-a-hoop after Saturday’s convincing 3-0 Isuzu FA Vase victory over Burscough. The result never looked in doubt after Reuben Jerome opened the scoring in the seventh minute. There were elements of luck in the goal, but it was reward for shrewd use of the long ball against a shaky defence.   It was all over bar the shouting by half-time. Defender Ben Hockenhull notched the second from close range following a free kick in the

Following back to back wins in our opening fixtures in the North West Counties Premier Division our focus now shifts to the FA Cup and the first fixture in this history-steeped competition back at Gigg Lane in over four years. After confident performances on both the opening day against Glossop North End and Colne this Tuesday (highlights below), Andy Welsh’s men have set off out of the blocks at blistering pace with eight goals in the opening two games. In what promises to be a fantas

What a way to follow up a bad result: two wins and two clean sheets, in-front of two bumper crowds at Gigg Lane in the past week, which put us clear at the top of the league as we head to another play-off chasing side this Saturday. The Step Places Stadium is the venue for a sell-out clash, as fifth placed West Didsbury & Chorlton welcome the top-of-the-table Shakers to South Manchester. West’s form of two wins in seven league games will no doubt be a concern to manager Chris Rowley, bu

The Shakers start 2025 in great shape after a final few games of the year which saw us wrap us the festive season with seven points from three games marked by some solid performances and 12 goals.   It was a tough run, and this will be a tough game in South Manchester. But we’re at the top of the league, with 64 points from 30 games, compared with West’s 50 from 28 in fifth position.   Despite much of the squad suffering from a bug we overcame an early goal to come away 5-2 derby d
