Andy Briggs Departs
We can confirm the departure of striker Andy Briggs, who has signed for West Didsbury & Chorlton.
Following a seven-day approach by West, Andy informed the management of his wish to leave the football club.
The 26-year-old joined the Shakers in July 2023 from Steeton, and made 33 appearances for the club last season, scoring 25 goals.
He made a further 12 this season and has also had a spell with Widnes on dual-registration.
We’d like to wish Andy all the best for the future.

Match Info: Lower Breck (A), Sat 23rd Nov, 3pm KO
The first of three successive away games provides the Shakers with one of the toughest challenges of our season so far. Lower Breck are among the top teams in the league, and look certain to be among those scrapping for the promotion places come April. So they will be keen to end our unbeaten run of 21 games.
The Shakers go into the challenge having had a week to reflect on our outstanding 8-0 home win against Longridge Town and extra training to further boost the skills on view in that game.
Strong in defence, dynamic in midfield and relentlessly threatening up front: we certainly looked the real deal.
Lower Breck also come into this game with a great win fresh in their minds. 5-0 at home against Glossop North End, who we know are no push-overs.
And they also will have had a week off, because a frozen pitch scuppered their mid-week away fixture against FC Helens in the Macron Cup second round.
Our next match at Gigg Lane will be against Colne on Saturday December 7. After Lower Breck we travel to Burscough a week later and Litherland REMYCA on December 4.
Plenty of miles for our travelling fans – but all the players really value your backing, and so does everyone at the club. So please keep going for it!!
In Opposition – Lower Breck
Lower Breck are currently fourth in the league table – two places behind us, with 46 points from 25 games against our 49 from 21. They have won three and drawn two of their last six games.
Formed 14 years ago as a youth team, they play at the Anfield Sports Community Centre. They later joined the Lancashire County Premier League second division, were promoted to the NWCFL in 2019, and went up into the Premier Division in 2021.

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.
A main stand kiosk will be open serving hot food and drinks, with the bar in Starkies Lounge open when the ground opens at 6.30pm.
Admission charges are: Adults – £5, 16-18-year-olds – £3, Under 16’s – £1.
