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

Under the interim management of Tim Lees, we head to Shropshire to face Shifnal Town as we kick-start a busy December of fixtures. Tim will be in the dugout, after a club restructure this week, moving Dave McNabb to a role of Head of Football Operations. Last time out we faced a goalless draw against Atherton Colls. Atherton threatened early, while we improved after halftime, with chances for DJ Pedro and Kai Evans. A late Shakers corner caused panic, but neither side found a breakthrough as th

After our 1-0 win at Wythenshawe Town, we take top position and are leaders of the Northern Premier League West division. This week, for the fourth time lucky, The Shakers are back on the road to face Shifnal Town for a long-awaited clash with the team who currently sit eighth in the league. This game was originally scheduled for Saturday 6th December but has since been postponed three times due to a waterlogged and frozen pitches at the Acoustafoam Stadium. In Opposition – Shifnal Town Shifna

We are back on the road on Wednesday evening as we travel to Shifnal Town, aiming to turn recent draws into a return to winning ways while extending an impressive unbeaten run under Tim Lees. The Shakers come into the fixture on the back of consecutive league draws, results that have shown control but left a sense that more could have been taken. Shifnal Town will provide a stern midweek test. The hosts also shared the points last time out, drawing with Vauxhall Motors, and will be keen to bui

We’re off! Two wins in a row and the vast improvement in performance under the Gigg Lane lights on Tuesday suggest we’re finally on the move. The NPLW win against Runcorn Linnets was much more convincing than the 1-0 scoreline suggests. And we’ve gone from 18th to 8th in the table. Also encouraging was the attendance – not far short of 3,000 on an initially damp Tuesday evening. And so was the noise from the South Stand. Come on the Shakers?? You bet!! We were well on top for about 80 per cen

After two weeks of cup football, that saw us exit the FA vase after a tough battle with Whickham in the North East and progress in the Macron Cup following penalty shootout heroics from goalkeeping coach and reserve keeper Sam Ashton, we return to NWCFL premier league action this Saturday as we face Skelmersdale United away at The Community Ground in Burscough. Following the Ramsbottom game we were thrilled to receive a note from The ‘Rams’ Club Secretary, Tony Cunningham, praising the club

January comes to a close (we can’t believe it either), and we hope beyond hope that we can get a game on in what has felt like too long! The Shakers last took to the field almost two weeks ago when we dispatched Litherland REMYCA (highlights below) and in doing so, keeping up with those at the top of the league in the process. Due to the weather playing havoc with fixtures across the league, there has not been much change since with Wythenshawe Town remaining top by a point, with Wythenshaw
