The Shakers go into this game against Charnock Richard lying second in the league. That’s largely thanks to four goals in four games from loanee DJ Pedro – and the fact that the top two were playing in the Isuzu FA Vase at the weekend. We beat Charnock Richard 2-0 on their own ground barely three weeks ago, and this game is the second in a run of three against sides we have faced in the reverse fixture already, with Longridge the visitors to Gigg this Saturday. DJ made his debut four days l

The game against Charnock Richard marks a turning point in our season, and a good performance in this and every remaining fixture is vital if we are to achieve our primary aim: promotion. It was a bitter pill to swallow when the Shakers exited their third cup competition in eight days – beaten by Chadderton on penalties in the Isuzu FA Vase. So it’s goodbye to the cups, and there’s no time for self-pity as we go back to league action at Charnock Richard’s Mossie Park sta

A win on the road after a short on-field hiatus, was just what the doctor ordered on Wednesday night as we returned from Longridge with three points and retake the top spot in the league – for now. A penalty from Sam Burns at the end of the first half, alongside a debut goal for Dec Daniels to quickly cancel out the hosts equaliser was greatly received on a cold night for the Shakers faithful. The Macron Cup slides into the fixture calendar this weekend, with Charnock Richard visiting Gigg Lan

We’re back at Gigg Lane on Saturday, but again not as we know it, for an early Saturday clash against Charnock Richard. This game will once again be played out in front of empty stands at Gigg Lane as the second game of our stadium bans comes into force this week after the appeal against the sanctions, was rejected earlier this month. Dave McNabb and his team will be looking to get back to winning ways after our last outing in which we fell to a second defeat in a row to Barnoldswick.

The play-offs it is, and after a long wait, it is Charnock Richard we face on Tuesday night for a place in Saturday’s final against either Wythenshawe Town or Padiham. With over 3,500 tickets gone and the South Stand almost sold out, it is going to be a cracker under the mid-Spring lights at Gigg Lane. Get on down to cheer the lads on, you can be the difference. It has been a long old wait since our game at Ramsbottom on the final game of the season, however tonight’s visitors have fitted i

It’s a mouth-watering prospect as the Shakers welcome league leaders Chasetown to Gigg Lane. Our hopes are high after four successive league victories, but the story of the Scholars season so far shows it will be tough. They had a poor start, winning only one and drawing two of their first four games. But they then won five in a row and conceded only one goal in the process. And their victims included then leaders Lower Breck. Our aim will be to break that sequence, and we go into the game f

“When we get promotion, this is what we’ll sing…We are Bury, we are Bury, we are…” The words rang out at Gigg Lane on Saturday, and no-one could blame us for singing them. We were playing like champions. We were winning our 13th match on the bounce. We were keeping our seventh successive clean sheet. There were performances right through our team which could only be described as top class – especially Tyler James’s hat-trick against his former club. As a result, on and off the pitch, it

After the weather put paid to a mid-week top-of-the-table clash against Wythenshawe, attention turned to Park Road this weekend as we take on Cheadle Town this Saturday. And a repeat of last Saturday’s performance, will do nicely if Dave McNabb’s charges can put another show for the travelling faithful. Two goals each from Andy Briggs and newly-crowned league player of the month, Dec Daniels, alongside a return to the goalscoring charts for Andy Scarisbrick and another goal for youngster Jo

This weekend, attention turns to Cheadle Town Stingers, in a tough fixture away from home. Our 3-1 victory in the League last weekend against Fleetwood Town Wrens Ladies was another fine performance by the team, making it our fourth consecutive win in all competitions, and our third league win of this season’s campaign. Our next fixture is going to take place this weekend against Cheadle Town Ladies in the North West Women’s Regional League. Our opponents are in fine form, and cur
