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

Challenges don’t come much bigger than the one we face against the team who back in November ended our 21-match unbeaten run.   Lower Breck are in good form, having won their last six matches, but they have to play Pilkington less than 48 hours prior to their trip to Gigg and our win last weekend as well as a strengthened squad send us into what we know will be a tough game brimming with confidence.   The Shakers’ performance in the victory at Barnoldswick was excellent, especially

Will it ever stop raining? It seems like it hasn’t stopped for months, doesn’t it? We look to “go again” after our Tuesday night fixture against fellow promotion hopefuls Wythenshawe was rained off due to a waterlogged pitch. We have to celebrate the work of our grounds team and volunteers who have worked hard throughout what has been the wettest February on record to get games on but unfortunately on Tuesday, after an afternoon of rain, they were left with no time to clear the pitch

The Shakers march on! Tuesday’s convincing 2-0 league victory against AFC Liverpool lifted us to fifth position in the league table, just two points behind leaders Ramsbottom United. We now face Maghull at home in the FA Vase first qualifying stage on Saturday and Cheadle Town in the league on Monday.   There was only ever one team in Tuesday’s match, although there was quite a gap between the goals. Skipper Macauley Wilson’s header gave us the lead on 12 minutes, and it was a long 80 min

This is it: the real deal. We’ve strengthened our squad, had a strong pre-season, and hammered South Liverpool in the Emirates FA Cup last weekend. So we go into league action full of confidence – and with good reason. There’s every indication that we’re ready to compete at this level. The pre-season was designed to test our credentials. It did, and we more than survived. Now it’s the real thing, and we’re all set to take on teams more experienced, better organised and more powerful than tho

Shakers.. there are only 3 games to go! The final month of the season starts now As this Saturday we play host to Padiham. We need you down in numbers, loud and proud! Our run of 12 successive victories, along with clean sheets in every one of our last six matches has been superb. But on their own they win us nothing. The only way we can be sure of that league title is to win every match. If you’ve been to Gigg Lane on a match day, you know what a fantastic atmosphere there is. If you have

We head to Broadhurst Park, home of FC United of Manchester, this coming Tuesday 16th April to take on Padiham in our penultimate game of the season. Kick-off is 7.45pm. The top-of-the-table really opened up over weekend, making our game in hand over the top two a crucial one. Two wins will win us the league. We want you there to cheer the lads on. As indicated in our release yesterday, we are now able to share more details on how it will work. Tickets & Admission Tickets

This past Saturday The Shakers had their first taste of defeat in competitive action since returning to Gigg Lane in a 1-3 defeat to Chadderton. An amazing crowd of 4115 were present and in fine voice as Andy Welsh’s charges went ahead after 25 minutes courtesy of a Darius Palma penalty. Bury defended their lead well, with both sides having chances but neither capitalising until the 86th minute when Chadderton grabbed an equaliser in the form of a wonder strike from their skipper Jord

It was all-square at Squires Gate over the weekend in a high-scoring affair at a sold out Brian Addison Stadium with each side finding the back of the net four times and both sides leaving their first game of the season with a point. Goals for the Shakers came from Iyrwah Gooden, Bryan Ly and Rustam Stepans who all opened their club accounts as the spoils were shared following a baking day in the sun on the coast.
