“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

We return very quickly after our 2-2 draw with Burscough on Saturday, to take on Cheadle Town at Park Road this Tuesday evening as the NWCFL roadshow continues. The groups of helpers tending to the pitch early on Saturday morning helped to give the game the go ahead, but this didn’t mean a fast start for the Shakers, going in behind at the break. Catch the highlights below. A quick double from the front two of Briggs and Daniels at the start of the second half was just the tonic to spa

It’s the final game in our Gigg Lane triple header this week, as we host Cheadle Town on Bank Holiday Monday.   Saturday saw us book our place into the next round of the FA Vase, with a 3-1 win over Maghull. After a goalless first half. Iyrwah Gooden got the first goal inside five second half minutes, before Bebeto Gomes poked home from close range on 73 minutes. Maghull’s Adam Hammill grabbed a goal back with an amazing free kick, whilst Alik Babayan sealed the victory in stoppage time.

It’s going to be a busy August Bank Holiday Weekend, which begins with Saturday’s home game with Cheadle Town. Andy Welsh will be looking for a response from his sides 3-2 defeat against Kendal Town on Tuesday evening. Bury opened the scoring on 14 minutes through Andy Briggs, with the Shakers holding onto that lead until just after the break, when Steven Yawson equalised for Kendal. Andy Briggs regained Bury’s lead less than 10 minutes later to the roar of the South Stand, following a

Boxing Day football returns to Gigg Lane as we welcome Clitheroe in what promises to be a competitive festive encounter. With a big holiday crowd expected and momentum at stake as the season enters a crucial phase, the Shakers will be looking to make home advantage count against a first-time Lancashire opponent. After the excitement of Christmas, attention turns back to the pitch, where three points on Boxing Day could set the tone for the remainder of the campaign. Last time out, we made it t

The trip to Colne follows hard on the heels of last Tuesday’s visit to Charnock Richard, and we’re hoping the outcome is similar. What a treat it was for the Shakers and our fans. We celebrated the return to League action with an away win under lights on a wet and skiddy pitch – and with a clean sheet.   It was a good start for goalkeeper Russell Saunders – who was drafted in at the last minute as Mitch Allen and his partner welcomed their new arrival – Once again congrats to Mitc

After 1547 days without competitive football, Bury FC finally returned to league action on Saturday. And what an occasion it was – dispatching a competitive Glossop North End side 5–1 to take a very early position at the top of the NWCFL Premier Division. We cannot thank the fans enough for cheering us on to victory in the historic occasion at Gigg Lane, with the attendance of 5,451 – a record for this division! The first away game arrives just three days later at Colne, who suffered a
