We look to “go again” after our Tuesday night fixture against fellow promotion hopefuls Wythenshawe was rained off due to a waterlogged pitch.
We have to celebrate the work of our grounds team and volunteers who have worked hard throughout what has been the wettest February on record to get games on but unfortunately on Tuesday, after an afternoon of rain, they were left with no time to clear the pitch and have it ready to play.
Our attention now turns to this weekend and the visit of Lower Breck, one of only five sides who have managed to beat The Shakers this campaign who will this time face a much-changed Bury side, with only three of the matchday squad of sixteen still being with us at Gigg Lane.
Breck have had mixed fortune in their last six outings with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats. They currently sit 8th in the Premier Division table just three points off the playoffs and 19 points behind Bury having played one more game.
It should be a great game of football featuring two sides who still have it all to play for! Get down, be loud and proud, and support your Shakers!
Her Game Too
This weekend our fixtures across both men’s and women’s first-team games will celebrate women in football, and in sport in general, as we endorse the ‘Her Game Too’ message.
Read more about the plans for the weekend here and find out more about your HGT Ambassadors here.

In Opposition – Lower Breck
Founded in 2010 in Liverpool’s Tuebrook area, Lower Breck Football Club quickly established itself with a youth-driven approach aimed at future successes. Winning the South Liverpool Youth Division Title in their first season, they moved to the prestigious Carlsberg West Cheshire Association Football League, subsequently making history by winning the league title, West Cheshire Youth Plate, and LCFA County Cup—a first for any West Cheshire League team.
Joining forces with Famous Grapes Football Club in 2012, Lower Breck entered the Liverpool County Premier League’s 2nd Division, winning the title in their first open-age season. Their ambition led to a European victory at the 2013 Rheintal Trophy in Cologne, Germany.
By 2013/14, playing as Lower Breck FC in the Liverpool County Premier League’s 1st Division, they earned promotion to the Premier Division. By 2015/16, the club expanded to five teams, emphasizing growth and securing multiple domestic cup victories.
Achieving an unbeaten record and sweeping all competitions in the 2017/18 season underscored their dominance in Liverpool football. Transitioning to a North West Counties affiliated member within ten years, Lower Breck FC exemplifies grassroots development, setting sights on FA Cup football and benefiting from community support.

The club is affliated with the #HerGameToo movement, an organisation founded in May 2021 with the aim of raising awareness and educating others on the importance of inclusivity and diversity in sports. Their video above, was viewed hundreds of thousands of times and the quest to eliminate sexism in football had begun!
We are proud to be one of hundreds of clubs, in both the professional and semi-professional / grassroots settings, to be affiliated in the UK.
Whilst starting within football, and by a group of female football fans spread across the UK, HerGameToo has resonated significantly across the sporting landscape, with like-minded initiatives now set up covering cricket, rugby and ice hockey. The start of the campaign highlighted the inequality felt, particularly by women, in the stands at football grounds across the country. But this is not limited to football supporters on the terraces, we want to see the same acceptance and inclusion on the pitch and behind the scenes.
We start the build-up to this weekend by introducing the team of ambassadors and advocates for the club, starting with Samantha Harman who volunteers as matchday volunteer co-ordinator at Gigg Lane. Sam sat down with buryfc.co.uk to answer questions around how she got involved with #HerGameToo.
Club #HerGameToo Ambassador, Sam Harman Hello Sam, please can you give a quick introduction of yourself and what involvement you have for Her Game Too?
What is your main goal as the Her Game Too ambassador for Bury FC and what are your hoping to achieve in your role as ambassador for women who go along to football matches at Bury?
The Her Game Too campaign has really taken off, how pleasing is it to see such a campaign for women especially after seeing recent campaigns like Kick It Out and Rainbow Laces?
How did you become aware of the Her Game Too campaign?
Why did you decide to get involved in Her Game Too?
Have you ever been subjected to any kind of sexism at a football match or on social media yourself?
Bury FC Women’s Chloe Greenhall wheels away after scoring at Gigg Lane earlier this season What changes have you seen over the years in the attitudes towards women going to watch football in general?
We have seen women’s football really grow recently especially with the lionesses winning the Euros and being runners-up in the World Cup. How good is that to see?
How good is it to see Bury FC promote women’s football as much as they do with the men’s team?
What would you say to any female fan going to football matches who hear things they don’t want to or who are subjected to any sexist abuse? What would you advise them to do?
It’s not just about highlighting sexism and discrimination towards women at football matches but Her Game Too also promotes women’s participation in football too.
