Bury Football Club is delighted to welcome Hannah Brindle as the club’s newly appointed Community Development Officer.

Hannah brings a strong academic and practical background to the role, holding a BSc in Fitness and Wellbeing, completed while playing and coaching in the United States, and an MA in Adult Education. Her experience working with a variety of community and wellbeing groups has equipped her with valuable insight into how sport can be used as a tool for education, inclusion and positive social change. Hannah will play a key role in expanding Bury FC’s community programmes, developing new initiatives to engage local residents, and strengthening the club’s commitment to promoting health, participation and lifelong learning across all sections of the community.

Furthermore, following an extensive recruitment and selection process, the Club is proud to announce the appointment of the inaugural Board of Trustees for Bury Football Club Community Sports Trust. The Trust will serve as the charitable arm of the club, dedicated to delivering programmes that promote health, education, inclusion and community engagement across Bury and the wider area. The appointed trustees bring a wealth of professional and community experience, each sharing a strong commitment to using sport as a vehicle for positive change. The newly appointed trustees are: Darren Bernstein (existing trustee), Abbey Barry, Roy Skelton, Mark Lomas, Jeremy Keeble, Sarah Porru, Phil Heap, Matt Peluch, Will Leach and Evonne Hitchen. Together, they will guide the Trust’s strategy, governance and impact as it works in partnership with local stakeholders to build a stronger, more connected community through football.

Casey Lynchey, Head of Operations and Community, said: “The establishment of the Community Sports Trust marks a significant milestone in our journey to strengthen the club’s role within the town. We are thrilled to welcome such a talented and passionate group of trustees who each bring unique expertise and a shared belief in the power of football to unite, inspire and make a lasting difference in people’s lives. We are equally excited to welcome Hannah Brindle to the team, whose energy, experience and community-focused approach will be instrumental in expanding our programmes and deepening our impact across Bury.”

Match Info: Bootle (A), Sat 7th Nov, 3pm KO

We are back in Northern Premier League West action this Saturday as we make the trip to Merseyside to face Bootle at the Berry Street Garage Stadium.


After a positive showing at the weekend, The Shakers will be aiming to continue their recent good form on the road as we head into the busy November schedule.


It’s been a testing few weeks for Dave McNabb’s side, with games coming thick and fast. The squad has been stretched, but recent performances have shown resilience and togetherness as Bury look to maintain their push near the top end of the table.


We extended our impressive home form with a 2-0 victory over Kidsgrove Athletic on Saturday. Tyler James & Kai Evans scored either side of the hour mark to seal three points for the Shakers.


Oscar Threlkeld returned from injury to captain the side, whilst Tyler James was once again on the scoresheet in his second consecutive game since his return from a brief spell at Padiham. Owen Barker & Regan Riley returned for appearances off the bench.


Elsewhere, Owen Robinson & Callum Spooner have gained minutes for the Under 21s at the weekend as they seek a return in the near future.
In Opposition – Bootle

Bootle are in their fifth season in the Northern Premier League West, having gained promotion from the North West Counties during the COVID-affected seasons.


Alan Morgan’s side are 12th in the table and are four points off the play-offs, and have suffered back-to-back defeats against Chasetown & Congleton.


Former Shakers Lewis Earl, Jack Lenehan & Courtney Duffus are all within the squad.

Bury FC Volunteer Reward Scheme 

At Bury FC, our volunteers are the heartbeat of the club; their time, dedication and passion help keep everything running smoothly both on and off the pitch. With over 200 incredible individuals giving up their time to support the club, we want to show our appreciation and give something back. To celebrate their efforts, we’re introducing a new Volunteer Reward Scheme. 

Each week, one volunteer will be selected at random to receive a Certificate of Appreciation, recognising their contribution and commitment to Bury FC.

Casey Lynchey, Head of Operations, said, “It’s a simple gesture, but it means a lot – a small way to give a big ‘thank you’ to the incredible volunteers who make such a huge difference to our club and the wider community. Week after week, our volunteers give up their own time to help with everything from matchday operations and community projects to maintaining the ground and supporting our teams. Their passion and commitment are at the heart of what makes Bury FC so special, and this reward scheme is our way of recognising just how valued they truly are. We want every volunteer to know that their efforts don’t go unnoticed and that they are an essential part of the Bury FC family.”


Our first volunteer winner is Nick O’Brien who is the assistant manager of our U12B boys team and occasional coach with our Baby Ballers.

We spoke to Rhys the U12s manager who had this to say about Nick, “I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Nick at Bury FC, and I can honestly say his dedication to the U12s team is nothing short of inspiring. As a volunteer coach, he gives his time freely, but you’d think it was his full-time job with the amount of effort and passion he puts into everything he does. What many people don’t see is the incredible work he does behind the scenes. Planning training sessions, analysing matches, communicating with parents, and making sure every player feels valued and supported. He’s constantly looking for ways to help the kids develop not only as footballers but also as people.”

Nick added, “His enthusiasm is infectious, and his commitment to creating a positive, disciplined, and fun environment for the players sets a brilliant example for everyone at the club. Whether it’s turning up early to set up cones and goals in the rain, staying late to tidy up, or spending his evenings researching new drills and coaching methods, Nick always goes the extra mile. He genuinely cares about every player’s progress and takes pride in seeing them grow in confidence and ability. Bury FC and the under 12’s team are lucky to have someone with his level of commitment and heart. He embodies what grassroots football is all about, passion, teamwork, and a genuine love for helping young players thrive.”

Equal Game Kitemark

Bury Football Club is proud to be recognised by Manchester FA for our ongoing commitment to women’s and girls’ football, receiving the exclusive “Equal Game” Kitemark. This award highlights our dedication to creating an inclusive, welcoming and empowering environment where women and girls can thrive at all levels of the game.


Our female football provision is one of the largest and most comprehensive in the region, reflecting our ambition to grow opportunities for players of all ages and abilities. The club currently has three competitive 11-a-side women’s teams, nine recreational teams, five veterans’ teams, and a walking football programme, ensuring participation pathways for everyone from beginners to experienced players.


Our girls’ section is rapidly expanding, with current squads at U18, U16, U14 and U10 levels, complemented by our Wildcats and Squad Girls programmes. These initiatives provide a structured, fun and safe environment for young female players to develop their skills, confidence and love of the game. Looking ahead, we are committed to further growth, with plans to strengthen our girls’ teams and support more opportunities for competitive and recreational play, coaching and leadership development.


Head of Operations and Community, Casey Lynchey, said, “Receiving the Equal Game Kitemark reflects not just our achievements on the pitch, but the club’s broader values: equality, accessibility and community. It celebrates the dedication of our coaches, volunteers and players who make our women’s and girls’ football programmes a success, and it inspires us to continue building one of the most inclusive and ambitious female football pathways in the North West. We are incredibly grateful to Manchester FA for their continued support, which has been instrumental in helping us grow and strengthen women’s and girls’ football at Bury Football Club. Their backing allows us to provide more opportunities, inspire more players and create a truly inclusive football community.”

Match Info: Kidsgrove Athletic (H), Sat 1st Nov, 3:00pm KO

We’re back on home soil this weekend, taking on Kidsgrove Athletic after what has felt like an incredibly long stretch of games away.

In his post-match interview over the weekend, Dave expressed his pride in the group. Who despite facing an unprecedented revolving door of injuries, the team performed well against a very strong Vauxhall side.

Tyler James returned to the lineup in Ellesmere Port bagging a brace and DJ Pedro scored his 30th league goal in Bury colours.

We enter this week in a position where we have two training sessions ahead of us before Saturday’s game and hoping to have one or two players back in contention before the weekend.


So with that said, we need our 12th man! Get down to Gigg, bang that drum, sing your hearts out and get behind your Shakers!
In Opposition – Kidsgrove Athletic

The club formed in 1952 as a breakaway from Kidsgrove United, has grown from local league beginnings to become an established Northern Premier League club.

Kidsgrove Athletic have played at this level since the 2002-03 season in its various guises, having peaked at fourth place in 2010.

Ex Shaker Tom Pope has been joint manager with Matty Rhead since mid-way through last season, and it wasn’t an easy period. Kidsgrove survived with the 1 point required to stay up.

Oliver Jepson, son of Ronnie, has also re-joined Kidsgrove for a second spell since leaving Gigg Lane, via Stafford Rangers.
They are 12th in the table, having won five from their opening 14 in the league.
On the Day & In the Ground
Our Matchday @ Gigg guide is available to read to find out everything you need to know going on in and around the ground.
