It wouldn’t be surprising if Longridge Town come to Gigg Lane fired up with determination to take revenge for the 5-1 defeat we inflicted on them last month, when they visit Gigg Lane this weekend.   It was a score that perhaps flattered the Shakers back in October, conceding three penalties in the game but after overcoming that storm and Mitch Allen saving two of the penalties, the result was empthatic in the end. Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw against Charnock Richard proved that we won’

We go again this weekend after picking up four points since last Saturday, with a win at home against West Didsbury & Chorlton and a point on the road at Wythenshawe in midweek, following a late penalty. Shakeel Jones-Griffiths grabbed his first Bury goal with a header from a corner on Tuesday night and a returning Benito Lowe sent Gigg Lane into raptures last weekend when a spirited West fightback set up a nail-biting finish and a last minute winner.

Another winning weekend for The Shakers after new gaffer Anthony Johnson led us to his first home game win against Sporting Khalsa. This week we head to Anfield Sports Centre to take on Lower Breck in a head to head clash for the top of the table position. In our last encounter in November, Lower Breck secured the 2-0 win, but this Friday we’re fighting to reverse that result. As we remain unbeaten for thirteen games, we currently hold top spot, with Breck sitting 2nd. In Opposition – Lower Br

The Anfield area of Liverpool is nestled in football history and that’s where we head on Saturday. Andy Welsh’s side face Lower Breck, who played just under a mile away from the home of Liverpool. It was a 1-1 draw last time out against Longridge, the goal coming from Benito Lowe who scored started his first game since his return from injury. The players have had a well-earned rest with no game in midweek, so two sessions in training this week to prepare for this fixture. Former

The first of three successive away games provides the Shakers with one of the toughest challenges of our season so far. Lower Breck are among the top teams in the league, and look certain to be among those scrapping for the promotion places come April. So they will be keen to end our unbeaten run of 21 games.  The Shakers go into the challenge having had a week to reflect on our outstanding 8-0 home win against Longridge Town and extra training to further boost the skills on view in that ga

Shakers head back to Gigg Lane for a table-topping clash against Lower Breck. A win would see us cut the gap to Breck two points at the top of the table, subject to other results involving Avro & Shifnal Town. We come into this one off the back of Tuesday’s 4-1 win at Nantwich, braces from Rustam Stepans and Kai Evans either side of half time gave us our first away win since early October. Breck faced Avro in midweek and came off the back of it with just their second defeat of the seaso

Challenges don’t come much bigger than the one we face against the team who back in November ended our 21-match unbeaten run.   Lower Breck are in good form, having won their last six matches, but they have to play Pilkington less than 48 hours prior to their trip to Gigg and our win last weekend as well as a strengthened squad send us into what we know will be a tough game brimming with confidence.   The Shakers’ performance in the victory at Barnoldswick was excellent, especially

Will it ever stop raining? It seems like it hasn’t stopped for months, doesn’t it? We look to “go again” after our Tuesday night fixture against fellow promotion hopefuls Wythenshawe was rained off due to a waterlogged pitch. We have to celebrate the work of our grounds team and volunteers who have worked hard throughout what has been the wettest February on record to get games on but unfortunately on Tuesday, after an afternoon of rain, they were left with no time to clear the pitch

The Shakers march on! Tuesday’s convincing 2-0 league victory against AFC Liverpool lifted us to fifth position in the league table, just two points behind leaders Ramsbottom United. We now face Maghull at home in the FA Vase first qualifying stage on Saturday and Cheadle Town in the league on Monday.   There was only ever one team in Tuesday’s match, although there was quite a gap between the goals. Skipper Macauley Wilson’s header gave us the lead on 12 minutes, and it was a long 80 min
