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

We last faced West a few days after some good performances, including a convincing home win against local rivals Prestwich Heys. But we suffered a 4-0 loss in South Manchester, a result Dave and his team are itching to set right. By coincidence, the return fixture follows another good performance against Prestwich. There was only ever one team in it as we won 2-0 at Adie Moran Park.   That victory made it five in five games, and the long-awaited clean sheet was a welcome sign of prog

In a weekend with a quick fire double header your Shakers took on a strong Cheadle Town side in front of the Gigg Lane faithful on Saturday and faced a second trip to play an impressive Charnock in a fortnight. Our Shakers picked up 4 out of an available 6 points and we currently sit in 3rd spot in the table behind league leaders Kendal and second placed Chadderton. All eyes are now on this coming weekend’s game and we would like to see as many of you Shakers in attendance as we return to G

Following a bye through the earlier rounds due to progression last season we finally enter this seasons FA Vase at the Second Round Proper. And what a way to enter with a 300 mile round trip up North to face Whickham FC. Coach tickets for this Saturday’s game can be purchased here.   Our Northern League based opponents currently sit 15th in their table after winning 4, drawing 1 and losing 5 of their opening fixtures. Dave McNabb, who is no stranger to FA Vase succe

The Shakers will be back in action for the first time in 14 days following our 2 – 2 draw with Charnock Richard behind closed doors at Gigg Lane. We are excited to welcome supporters back into the stadium in time for what is billed to be one of the most crucial games in our promotion bid as we host follow promotion chasers Wythenshawe. A home win would see the two teams go level on points making for an extremely exciting final four weeks of the North West Counties Premier Division camp

On Saturday Dave McNabb’s men made it thirteen Nortwest Counties Premier Dvision games undefeated with a 1-0 victory over Glossop North End. We have been on a run that has seen us score 40 goals, score in every game and keep six clean sheets on our way to the top of the table. We currently have a three point cushion over second place Wythenshawe Town with a game in hand. We now focus our attention on their near neighbours and fellow promotion chasers Wythenshawe.
