Bury FC News

We’re back home after a three-week break, after wrapping up two amazing away wins in St Helens. Now, we’re all set to keep our winning streak going and make it 12 on the bounce. We want to give a big shoutout to the fans who made the trip down the M62 two weekends in a row to cheer on the Shakers. You guys were incredible, creating that atmosphere that really pumps up the lads on the pitch! A win would really crank up the pressure on our promotion rivals, Lower Breck, as they face FC Isle of

We return to Gigg Lane for our second league game in three days, as we host Squires Gate in the NWCFL. This is a chance to extend our lead at the top of the league, so get on down and get behind the boys!   Saturday saw an emphatic 4-0 win against Wythenshawe Town, a debut hat-trick from Joe Duckworth and Andy Scarisbrick also on the scoresheet gave Dave McNabb’s side a perfect Saturday afternoon. Debutants Harry Wright & Joe Duckworth both spoke to the media following the week

The season has opened with balance and belief, and the next stop on the path is Stalybridge. Four points from a win and a draw; two goals scored – both by central defenders – and only one conceded. Now it’s on to the Emirates FA Cup against opponents from the same league. It’s early days, but so far we and Celtic have identical records – a win and a draw – so a highly competitive clash is guaranteed. It was a tough game at Avro on Wednesday. Both teams had chances to clinch it, and

Three games in nine days – it doesn’t happen too often at this level, but we will once again face Stalybridge Celtic for our Bank Holiday Monday fixture at Gigg Lane. The Shakers will be looking to make amends for last Tuesday’s Emirates FA Cup defeat and pick up all three points. We picked up a point on the road at Congleton Town on Saturday. Radcliffe loanee Regan Riley made his Bury debut, as he begins his three-month loan spell, you can hear more from him below. Manager Dave McNabb

Dave McNabb didn’t mince his words after the 1-1 draw at Bower Fold, and now his team have a chance to put things right under the Gigg Lane lights on Tuesday evening. It was a disappointing result after a muted performance, and McNabb apologised to the 1,000 fans who made the trip to Stalybridge.   They cheered the team from kick-off to final whistle, and that memory alone will motivate our players at Gigg Lane.  The draw gave us the chance to measure ourselves against a club from the top

After that great win at home to Lower Breck, we face a different kind of challenge – a team even newer to this league than we are, and packed with lively young players. Lower Breck were beating everybody in sight, but we beat them in some style. The first half was probably our best 45 minutes of the season so far. Yes, we gave them a window of opportunity by sitting back at 3-1. But we made it, and overall were the better team by some distance.   The last six weeks have been toug

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
