This is not a drill. There are only three games left of our regular North West Counties Premier Division fixture list. We start the final three this coming Thursday evening as we, finally, host Ramsbottom United under the Gigg Lane lights after three previous postponements due to weather in the first of two fixtures against our near neighbours in 10 days. This will be the first time that the Shakers and The Rams will have EVER met in a league encounter in both clubs histories so it has

We go again! And we try again, for the third time in fact, as we have the visit of Ramsbottom United this Tuesday under the Gigg Lane lights. Dave McNabb’s squad will be keen to put matters right after a disappointing week which only yielded a single point from our three games, and set us up against it in the battle for top spot. But battle they must, and with fans returning to the stands, the players won’t be short of encouragement following the frustration of having to miss out on tw

As we all sat at home twiddling our thumbs this weekend after another cancellation, we watched the thaw slowly take hold and pitches across the north-west started to breathe again. Hopefully that is the end of the freezing conditions as we rocket towards the end of January and look to resume battle in the league. We will be keeping a watchful eye however, over the incoming weather in the hours leading up to the game. Head to social media ( X / Facebook ) or right here at buryfc.co.uk for a

Your Shakers made it six for six this past Saturday as we came away from the Arcoframe arena with all three points as we continue on a run of fine form and remain unbeaten in the league since November. Oli Jepsongot on the scoresheet with a powerful header at the back post and Andy Briggs netted his 20th and 21st goals of the season to ensure Dave McNabb’s men came away with all three points. Pilkington almost found away back into the game in the dying minutes of the second half capita

Despite the disappointing postponement of our last fixture, this weekend the team attention turns to the FA Women’s Challenge cup quarter-final. Bury’s last fixture in this competition against Manchester Laces was awarded as a home walkover. Rochdale gained their place in the quarter final by beating Mancunian Unity Reserves 7-0 last month. As for form coming into the game, our last fixture was an emphatic 5-1 win against Blackpool FC in the North West Women’s Regional League, with goa

It all looked very straightforward. After winning three out of four successive home games, we had a week to prepare for this away cup-tie. Then came the shock of having just 24 hours notice to replay the previous tie against Wythenshawe Town on Tuesday evening. Despite being unable to field our strongest team, we won again. We now focus on the weekend, the tie at Runcorn goes ahead, and we go into it with confidence on the back of a series of excellent performances. We beat the Linnets in o

After our stunning fightback against Stafford Rangers, we travel to Runcorn Linnets for a replay of the game which had to be abandoned at half-time with the score at 1-1. Our last-gasp league victory at the weekend was the third in succession and took us to third place in the table, with 14 points from seven matches. It really was a great squad performance, with two of our three goals coming from Gabriel Johnson and Rustam Stepans just minutes after they’d come on as substitutes. That perf

We’re back to league action under the lights at Gigg Lane after Saturday’s encouraging Isuzu FA Trophy 3-1 victory over Wythenshawe Town. This was a good result against another team from the same league as ourselves – albeit below us in a table which at the moment is rather meaningless. We can expect the Linnets to provide a much tougher test. They are in fifth place with eight points from four games and still in the FA Cup. We currently lie in 18th place, having won one game, drawn two and l

As 2026 started perfectly for us against Stalybridge Celtic, we continue on the road as we take on Shifnal Town. Both sides have a narrow turnaround from their games on New Year’s Day, the Shakers picking up a 6-2 win, whilst Shifnal Town fell to a 2-1 defeat against Darlaston Town, their first defeat in five games. In the reverse fixture back in September, we picked up a 3-0 victory with second-half goals from DJ Pedro, Rustam Stepans & Tyler James. This game was originally scheduled
