It was the beginning of a seven-year assoc

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
