After Saturday’s disappointment in the FA Cup, league action returns to Gigg Lane on Tuesday night as Kendal Town are the visitors for our first competitive game under the lights.   Charnock Richard were the victors at the weekend. Goals from Connor Comber and Jack Tinning gave Bury a two-nil lead, scoring at the beginning of each half. Injuries to both centre-backs, Niall Battersby and Jack Tinning, early in the second-half led to a defensive re-shuffle before Greens top-scorer Jordan Da

Eight games, that’s all that sits between now and the end of the season. The Shakers will look to get back to winning ways this Saturday with a trip to Kidsgrove Athletic, another new ground to tick off as a first visit Last time out our 14-game unbeaten run came to an end with a 2–0 home defeat to playoff-chasing Vauxhall Motors. The Shakers created several promising moments, particularly in the first half, but were unable to find a breakthrough against a well-organised visiting defence Atten

We’re back on home soil this weekend, taking on Kidsgrove Athletic after what has felt like an incredibly long stretch of games away. In his post-match interview over the weekend, Dave expressed his pride in the group. Who despite facing an unprecedented revolving door of injuries, the team performed well against a very strong Vauxhall side. Tyler James returned to the lineup in Ellesmere Port bagging a brace and DJ Pedro scored his 30th league goal in Bury colours. We enter this week in a po

The Shakers chalked up another three points this past Saturday in front of a bumper Gigg Lane crowd of 3304, putting on a sensational attacking display in the second half and putting Irlam to the sword to jump back to the top of the North West Counties Premier Division. Goals came from all three available strikers; with Dec Daniels slotting home a penalty past his former club, Andy Briggs taking advantage of a wayward back pass to power through and smash home, and finally Joe Hobson with a

Objective achieved! We prepared for this game by bouncing back in style from the defeat at Lower Breck by beating Burscough 4-2 away. The first 45 minutes were probably the best we’ve played all season, even counting the stunning 8-0 defeat of Longridge Town. So we travel once again to Merseyside with heads held high.   But it was disappointing to present Burscough with a gift goal early in the second half, and after that it was a struggle. Quality told in the end, and overall it was anot

After seven successive wins, we’re determined to turn the tables on a team who stunned us on the road two months ago. We did it to West Didsbury and Chorlton and to Lower Breck, and now it’s REMYCA’s turn.
 Another week without a midweek game has given us good preparation time and the lads will be chomping at the bit to get out in front of the Gigg Lane faithful and set the record straight but this doesn’t mean we will be taking our opponents lightly as we very well know, there are no easy game

On a rainy afternoon in the Derbyshire hills, Dave McNabb’s charges fell to a late defeat courtesy of a headed 96th minute Glossop goal. Until the goal The Shakers had held on well after being reduced to ten men following a red card for Bury wing back Gaz Peet early into the second half. In a game that could’ve gone either way in the with both teams having plenty of chances there were some bright spots in defeat including a debut goal for new man Andy Scarisbrick and a solid debut for Charl

Our visit to Longridge Town for a league match is in no sense a case of “back to the old routine” for the unbeaten Shakers. It will be a tough game against opponents who had a good start to the season but now desperately need to prove a point.   Town are more than aware that Bury go into the game after that dramatic Emirates FA Cup win at Radcliffe last weekend and a good result in a demanding midweek encounter with Chadderton.   In such a situation, a come-down in a real danger. B

It’s our first fixture of the festive month of December, as we head to Longridge on Saturday afternoon. A visit that has been delayed by a week due to poor weather, we should have seen a scheduled game against Ramsbottom United at Gigg Lane but due to the Rams being in FA Vase action, we have brought forward our trip over to Preston. The Ridge have had mixed fortunes in their last six fixtures winning two, drawing one, and losing three, and currently occupy 19th spot in the table. We head i
