A win for interim managers, Leon Mike and Stephen Sheil, on Tuesday night was welcome relief after a turbulent start to the week which saw Andy Welsh and management team leave the club following the loss to Lower Breck last Saturday. The management duo were keen to stress the importance of the senior players in the group who stepped up to help with preparations for the win on the Fylde coast, you can hear their interview after the game below. One of those senior players put his words i

We welcome Colne to Gigg Lane determined to bounce back from our disappointing start to a month which may well prove vital in our bid for promotion.   That 3-1 defeat at Litherland REMYCA was hard to take, but hey! – football’s always about a new start with the next match.   We beat Colne 2-0 at their place at the end of October, with second-half goals from Ben Hockenhull and Connor Pye. Since then, we’ve won two and lost two and Colne have won two, drawn one and lost one.  

It was FA Cup heartbreak for The Shakers on Tuesday as we were on the wrong side of 2-0 scoreline in what was a tough encounter against a very strong Stalybridge side. We are back into league action this Saturday and Dave and his Team will be looking to right the wrongs from Tuesday night as we travel to Cheshire to face Congleton. The Bears almost won promotion last season so we know that it will once again be another tough game against a strong side, which will be followed just 48 hours lat

A break from the league as we have cup action this midweek as we travel to Curzon Ashton in the quarter-finals of the Manchester FA Frank Hannah Premier Cup. In the last round, a youthful Shakers side picked up a 4-2 win against Maine Road. We now come into this tie against one of the highest-ranked teams left in the competition. Manager Tim Lees confirmed in his post-match interview on Saturday that he would use his tie as an opportunity to give players some game time, whilst also offering so

Two away trips for the Shakers this week start with a visit to the West Midlands, as we take on Darlaston Town for the first time in our history. Saturday saw a rare home defeat against Lower Breck, only our fourth league loss at Gigg Lane since Dave McNabb was appointed in September 2023. It’s only the third league game where the Shakers have failed to score this season. We remain fourth in the table going into Wednesday’s fixture. In Opposition – Darlaston Town Darlaston were promoted to S

After a break from the league in midweek, we return for our second consecutive league home fixture, as we welcome Darlaston Town to Gigg Lane. A goal apiece on either side of half-time meant we shared the spoils with Avro last time out in a tightly contested encounter, ending both clubs’ recent winning runs as the chase for top spot continues. Darlaston went on to beat Avro 1-0 in midweek, setting up quite an interesting fixture this weekend. In Opposition – Darlaston Town Darlaston have wo

We look forward to welcoming the travelling players, staff, volunteers and fans from the Isle of Man to Gigg Lane this coming Saturday for what is set to be a tough challenge as Dave McNabb’s men look to bounce back from last weekend’s loss in South Manchester.   The inquest on what went wrong at the Step Places Stadium has been thorough and honest. We hope to see the fruits of all that heart-searching in this match and the rest of the season.   With that in mind, we’re still up th
