There is no respite for the Shakers and the games keep coming! We follow our cracking 3-0 Emirates FA Cup victory at Blyth Spartans on Saturday by taking on local rivals Ramsbottom United at the Harry Williams Stadium in Rammy on Tuesday evening (kick-off 7.45pm). At Blyth, second-half goals from Alex Cherera, Bebeto Gomes and Connor Pye saw off a team who have previously enjoyed many Cup successes and laid to rest a nearly 30-year-old ghost, by avenging Spartans two-nil victory at Gigg Lan

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

The Shakers open their Northern Premier League campaign with a trip to the seaside, making the 234 mile round trip to Redcar Athletic. After a title winning campaign, Anthony Johnson’s side come off a preseason which saw wins over Bacup Borough, Chorley, FC Isle of Man, Radcliffe and Wigan Athletic, and defeats to Accrington Stanley and Morecambe. This fixture marks the two sides first ever competitive league meeting. In Opposition – Redcar Athletic Nicknamed “The Steelmen”, Redcar Athletic ma

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

With two wins from two games, Anthony Johnson’s side make the trip to Runcorn Linnets this Saturday in a promotion six pointer. The Shakers will look to build on their 2-1 against Bootle last Saturday, with Kai Evans hoping to extend his excellent returns of two goals in his last two appearances. Our opponents, Runcorn Linnets, sit third in the league after an excellent run of form, five points behind the top spot. Our last league meeting with the Linnets in early September ended in a 1-0 win
