    Player Update – Iyrwah Gooden

    We can confirm the departure of winger, Iyrwah Gooden, who has joined Bradford Park Avenue.

    The 24-year-old joined the club in the summer after leaving NCEL champions Emley.

    He made 25 appearances for the Shakers, scoring five goals, including a debut goal against Squires Gate in July.

    Manager, Dave McNabb commented: “I’d like to wish Iyrwah the very best of luck at Bradford PA. A great player and an even better person. His smile, character and personality will be hugely missed by all staff and players. Good luck mate.”

    Everyone at the club would like to wish Iyrwah all the best for the future.

    Match Info: Chadderton (H), Mon 18th Nov, 7:45pm KO

    This home cup-tie provides us with a double benefit: we can give Under-23s players game time and have an extra training session before the tough fixture against high-flying Lower Breck on Saturday.
     
    It also gives fans a chance to get along to Gigg Lane to recall and celebrate our outstanding performance of the season. The stunning 8-0 home win against Longridge gave morale a massive boost right across the club.
     
    And there will now be no NWCFL game at Gigg Lane until we entertain Colne on Saturday December 7. The match at Lower Breck will be followed by games at Burscough a week later and Litherland REMYCA on December 4.   
     
    Meanwhile, we look forward to a great performance from the younger players after their experience at Abbey Hey in the Manchester Premier Cup five weeks ago. They were doing fine until they had a player sent off, and lost 4-2. 
      In Opposition – Chadderton
    The clash with Chadderton was lined up back in June, when we were both awarded a bye in the draw for the first round.
     
    They started the league season strongly, but their form has dipped of late – four defeats in their last six matches.
     
    Nevertheless they’re still third in the table, with 47 points from 24 games compared with second-placed Shakers’ on 49 from 21 and top side Ramsbottom’s 53 from 24.
      On the Day & In the Ground
    This fixture will be pay on the gate only (cash / card), no advance tickets will be on sale.
     
    Blocks A to D in the Main Stand will be open for this fixture, with entry via the turnstiles for the Main Stand. The arrangements in this regard are to manage the stewarding costs for this game only, with a smaller than usual crowd anticipated.

    Match Info: Longridge Town (H), Sat 16th Nov, 3pm KO

    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’t have it all our own way as we look to assume top spot in the league, and with three draws in the last four at home manager Dave McNabb will be looking of more of type of finishes supplied by second-half substitute Alex Cherera.
     
    After a difficult first half, we were lucky to be only 1-0 down to lively Charnock Richard and were rescued by an unforgettable solo goal from our startlet Cherera on 71 minutes. Check out the goal below on the highlights, as well as comment from Tim Lees and midfielder Cam Fogerty.
     
    The challenge now is to extend it to 21 games. So once again we need lots of fans and plenty of noise to help us that run going. So come fans, and come on you Shakers!!!
      You can relive all the action from Tuesday and hear post match reaction from Tim Lees and Cam Fogerty below.
          In Opposition – Longridge Town
    It’s not been a good season so far for Longridge. They’ve lost their last two matches – at home against Glossop North End and away to South Liverpool – and are 16th in the table with 27 points from 22 matches.
     
    Longridge were promoted from the NWCFL’s Division One to the Premiership in 2019, but their first two seasons were curtailed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
     
    They then turned down the chance of playing in the Northern Premier League. Lee Ashcroft – still their manager – explained: “We’re not ready… We’ve got to establish ourselves at this level for the next two or three years, maybe longer.”
     
    Last season they finished 19th. They drew 1-1 at Gigg Lane and we beat them 2-1 in the return fixture.
