    Fundraiser: Operation Palma

    One of the stars of the season has without a doubt been Darius Palma. He’s arguably been our top performer so far.
      Unfortunately, the shoulder injury he sustained first at Wythenshawe Town, and then more seriously at Padiham requires surgery. Paying for this privately should see him back by January, but it’s unlikely we will see him back this season without private medical care.
      The cost of the surgery is £8,000, which is way beyond the entire season’s medical care budget for the club. The club is supporting Darius’ bid to fund this himself and asking supporters to contribute where they can to a fundraiser to get him the treatment he needs.
      Darius is extremely grateful to everyone for the support he’s received this season from Bury fans, and hopes to get out on the pitch to represent the club as soon as possible.

    Match Info: Cheadle Town (H), Sat 26th Aug, 3pm KO

    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 goalmouth scramble, when the ball landed at Briggs’ foot for him to slam home the ball from 10 yards out for his sixth league goal of the season.

    However, that was as good as it was going to get for the men in white, as the game was levelled up by the visitors on the hour mark, when top scorer James Bailey looped a header over Taberner into the opposite corner of the Bury goal before Yawson stole through the Bury defence to score the third and eventual winner on 68 minutes.

    You can catch Tuesday night’s highlights below:
        A reflective Andy Welsh, gave us his thoughts following a tough couple of days in the Bury dugout:
        Visiting Cheadle Town have had a mixed start to the season, having played seven, won two, drawn one and lost four so far in the league.


    Paul Marshall’s side hosted Prestwich Heys on Tuesday evening, a game they lost 4-2. Heys lead 2-0 after 25 minutes, Cheadle got a goal back before half time. In the second half, Heys gained a further two goals, one from ex-Bury striker Jack Coop, before Jordan Lazenbury scored a second goal for the hosts, two minutes from time.

    Get all your pre-match information on the opposition, tickets, programmes, access to Gigg Lane, and much more in our details below.


    A minutes applause will be held ahead of kick-off, as we pay our respects to Emily Wilcock, a player in one of our Women’s Recreational Teams following her sudden passing this week, aged 27.
      In Opposition – Cheadle Town
    Cheadle Town was formed in 1961 as Grasmere Rovers playing in the Manchester & District Sunday Football League in their Under 16s Division. As the team developed the Under-21 Championship was won in 1968, followed by the Premier Division title two years later.

    Grasmere Rovers moved into their own ground at Park Road Stadium in 1982 and, a year later, changed their name to Cheadle Town when they also joined the North West Counties Football League. Membership has mainly been in the Second Division, but in 1996 the club was promoted to the First Division. Sadly, relegation back to the second tier occurred in 2001, a position they occupied until 2023 when they were promoted to the now-named Premier Division.
      And what a season 2022/23 was… for the first time in over 20-years Cheadle Town were finally promoted to the top tier of the NWCFL. In a season which saw the Football Club awarded ‘Club of the Month’ on three separate occasions and break records for unbeaten runs and consecutive victories. The season came down to the lottery of the Play-Offs which saw Cheadle Town defeat Stockport Town 2-0 in the Semi Finals, leading to a Final against Sandbach United. In front of a crowd of 1,375, Cheadle Town won 3-1 with Martin Pilkington confirming victory in injury time to the delight of the travelling supporters. An occasion that will long live in the memories of all involved with Cheadle Town.

    Emily Wilcock

    Bury Football Club is extremely saddened to share the passing of Emily Wilcock, aged 27.
     
    Emily joined to play within the recreational setup two and a half years ago and was an very proud and committed member of the setup, barely missing a training session, taking part in extra summer sessions and attending social events with the squad.
     
    A member of the ‘Greens’, one of a number of our teams competing in the local recreational leagues, who won League 2 of the Greater Manchester Women’s Flexi League in 2022-23 and was part of the club trip to Barcelona in 2022.

    She grabbed her first goal of the season in the last game of last season, and was selected as Manager’s Player of the Season in 2021-22.

    Everyone who knew Emily will know she was such a lovely person with a great personality and always had a big smile on her face. She will be solely missed for all these reasons.

    Emily’s passing will be marked at both our Women’s game this evening and at Gigg Lane on Saturday afternoon.
     
    As a club, we wish to pass on our thoughts and condolences to Emily’s family, boyfriend, friends and all of her club teammates as they come to terms with this extremely sad news.
     
    Rest in peace, Emily.
