The play-offs it is, and after a long wait, it is Charnock Richard we face on Tuesday night for a place in Saturday’s final against either Wythenshawe Town or Padiham. With over 3,500 tickets gone and the South Stand almost sold out, it is going to be a cracker under the mid-Spring lights at Gigg Lane. Get on down to cheer the lads on, you can be the difference. It has been a long old wait since our game at Ramsbottom on the final game of the season, however tonight’s visitors have fitted i

Another Saturday on the road, and this week we’re travelling back down South to face Chasetown at The Scholars Ground, in what promises to be an intriguing Northern Premier League West clash. Back in October, we welcomed Chasetown to Gigg Lane and secured ourselves the 4-0 win, and we are striving for a replica result on Saturday. In Opposition – Chasetown Chasetown is located within the town of Burntwood in Staffordshire. The club was founded in 1954 when Brian Baker and Ray Derry formed a

It’s a mouth-watering prospect as the Shakers welcome league leaders Chasetown to Gigg Lane. Our hopes are high after four successive league victories, but the story of the Scholars season so far shows it will be tough. They had a poor start, winning only one and drawing two of their first four games. But they then won five in a row and conceded only one goal in the process. And their victims included then leaders Lower Breck. Our aim will be to break that sequence, and we go into the game f

“When we get promotion, this is what we’ll sing…We are Bury, we are Bury, we are…” The words rang out at Gigg Lane on Saturday, and no-one could blame us for singing them. We were playing like champions. We were winning our 13th match on the bounce. We were keeping our seventh successive clean sheet. There were performances right through our team which could only be described as top class – especially Tyler James’s hat-trick against his former club. As a result, on and off the pitch, it

After the weather put paid to a mid-week top-of-the-table clash against Wythenshawe, attention turned to Park Road this weekend as we take on Cheadle Town this Saturday. And a repeat of last Saturday’s performance, will do nicely if Dave McNabb’s charges can put another show for the travelling faithful. Two goals each from Andy Briggs and newly-crowned league player of the month, Dec Daniels, alongside a return to the goalscoring charts for Andy Scarisbrick and another goal for youngster Jo

This weekend, attention turns to Cheadle Town Stingers, in a tough fixture away from home. Our 3-1 victory in the League last weekend against Fleetwood Town Wrens Ladies was another fine performance by the team, making it our fourth consecutive win in all competitions, and our third league win of this season’s campaign. Our next fixture is going to take place this weekend against Cheadle Town Ladies in the North West Women’s Regional League. Our opponents are in fine form, and cur

We return very quickly after our 2-2 draw with Burscough on Saturday, to take on Cheadle Town at Park Road this Tuesday evening as the NWCFL roadshow continues. The groups of helpers tending to the pitch early on Saturday morning helped to give the game the go ahead, but this didn’t mean a fast start for the Shakers, going in behind at the break. Catch the highlights below. A quick double from the front two of Briggs and Daniels at the start of the second half was just the tonic to spa

It’s the final game in our Gigg Lane triple header this week, as we host Cheadle Town on Bank Holiday Monday.   Saturday saw us book our place into the next round of the FA Vase, with a 3-1 win over Maghull. After a goalless first half. Iyrwah Gooden got the first goal inside five second half minutes, before Bebeto Gomes poked home from close range on 73 minutes. Maghull’s Adam Hammill grabbed a goal back with an amazing free kick, whilst Alik Babayan sealed the victory in stoppage time.

It’s going to be a busy August Bank Holiday Weekend, which begins with Saturday’s home game with Cheadle Town. Andy Welsh will be looking for a response from his sides 3-2 defeat against Kendal Town on Tuesday evening. Bury opened the scoring on 14 minutes through Andy Briggs, with the Shakers holding onto that lead until just after the break, when Steven Yawson equalised for Kendal. Andy Briggs regained Bury’s lead less than 10 minutes later to the roar of the South Stand, following a
