FA Cup Second Qualifying Round draw

We have been drawn at home to fellow Northern Premier League Premier Division side Workington Town in the Emirates FA Cup Second Qualifying Round draw.


The game is scheduled to be played on Saturday 19th September, with further details around the game to be released in the coming week.

It will be the fourth meeting between the two sides in the FA Cup, having first battled it out in the 1971/72 season with the Shakers coming away with a 3-1 victory.


Five years later in November 1976, it was a comfortable 6-0 win for Bury at Gigg Lane with the third meeting coming in the 2007/08 campaign.

Workington, then in the Blue Square North, looked to be taking the game to a replay before Andy Bishop popped up with a late hat-trick to send the Shakers in the Second Round – part of one of the more memorable runs for fans.





A 1-0 win against Exeter City followed before Bishop sent the travelling fans wild at Norwich, heading home from Brian Barry-Murphy’s free kick. The home side equalised to set up a replay, with 4,146 in attendance to see the Shakers knock the Championship side out and set up a trip to Southampton – Richie Baker hitting the post early on and then the hosts running out 2-0 winners.


Keep an eye out on the website and social media for further details about the game!

Bury 8-0 Wythenshawe: Match Report

Making an ideal start to their FA Cup campaign Bury put in another high scoring home performance beating NPL West outfit Wythenshawe 8-0 at Gigg Lane.


In the week Anthony Johnson had lamented Bury’s wastefulness in front of goal and it seemed it would be more of the same in this tie. Connor Pye burst down the left but his cross was picked out by goalkeeper Ryan Forde while Owen Robinson saw a cross fall to Mo Touray but he didn’t make solid contact with the shot.


Further chances came and went, Leo Graham was teed up but couldn’t take a shot, Oscar Threlkeld headed wide from a corner, Touray headed another over the bar while Bobby Carroll’s brilliant pass deserved to be put away by Tom Carr.


It could have been a different story had Wythenshawe put away a chance of their own as Princewell Anuniru got in behind the defence. Threlkeld blocked the shot and made the clearance.


It was set to be another frustrating day until Connor Pye appeared at the far post to head in Owen Robinson’s cross and open the scoring. This broke the seal and in the fifteen minute spell that followed the Shakers couldn’t stop scoring.


Seconds after the restart Leo Graham played in Carr who rounded the keeper and finished into the open net.


Bury continued to look the most likely to score, Kai Evans made it three on 40 minutes. Surging towards goal and working a neat one-two with Touray before finishing into the bottom corner.


3-0 turned to 4-0 when Touray was fouled outside the box. Evans took the free kick and left Forde stationary as he grabbed his second.


Wythenshawe must have been begging for halftime but Bury kept on coming. One minute into stoppage time Robinson’s cross from the left was headed in by Touray. Then before the referee could blow for halftime it was six. Connor Pye again at the far post had all the time in the world to fire a shot into the top corner.


Three minutes into the second half and Bury scored their seventh. Touray pulling the ball back to Robinson to fire into the bottom corner. Bury fans by now were looking up record scores in cup matches.


In a relatively quiet second half the goals were harder to come by but it wasn’t for lack of effort. The most likely to score again was Kai Evans in search of his third. He crossed to Jes Uchegbulam but the substitute just missed contact. Evans went for it alone next time seeing a long range effort tipped over by Forde.


Evans wouldn’t be denied again and with Uchegbulam as provider he struck into the top corner for his hat-trick and Bury’s eighth.

Match Info: Wythenshawe (H), Sat 5th Sep, 3pm KO

It was a bank holiday weekend of highs and lows for The Shakers, who succumbed to a 2-1 defeat on the road to Hyde United on Monday afternoon after smashing Ilkeston Town 7-0 two days prior.


Now, Anthony Johnson’s side set their sights on a run of home games, welcoming Wythenshawe in the First Qualifying Round of the Emirates FA Cup this Saturday.


The Shakers will hope to capitalise on our stellar form at Gigg Lane so far, having won three of their first four home games.


Wythenshawe progressed after beating Mossley 2-0 at home, their third win of the season.
In Opposition – Wythenshawe

Wythenshawe were originally founded in 1946 by Reg Gauntlet, who was a local Window Cleaner, becoming members of the South Manchester and Wythenshawe League.


After being evicted from their home of 32 years in May 2015, the club secured £812,000 of funding to build a new clubhouse and pitch.


The club won back to back titles in 2023 and 2024, reaching their highest level, the Northern Premier League West Division, in the process.


In recent years, Wythenshawe have received online stardom for a veterans team that boasts multiple ex-internationals and Premier League winners, including Stephen Ireland, Emile Heskey, Danny Drinkwater, Papiss Cisse, Antonio Valencia, and Joleon Lescott.

By the Fans, For the Future: Up The Shakers Sponsors Bury FC Under-21s

Up The Shakers is proud to announce that, thanks entirely to the generosity of our forum members, we have raised enough money to become the front-of-shirt sponsor of the Bury FC Under-21s home kit.
The Up The Shakers name will now be worn proudly across the front of the famous white and blue shirt throughout the season, a fitting symbol of what can be achieved when Bury supporters come together to back their club.
This is far more than a sponsorship deal or an opportunity to put our logo on a shirt. It is a direct investment in the future of Bury Football Club.
Supporting the next generation
The Under-21s provide an essential bridge between youth football and the senior game. It is at this stage that promising young players must adapt to a faster, stronger and more demanding level of football while continuing to develop their technical ability, confidence and understanding of the game.
Without a strong development pathway, talented young players can easily be lost to the club. Supporting the Under-21s gives them the opportunity to train, compete, and demonstrate their ability to progress further.
The money provided through sponsorship contributes to the practical costs of running and developing the team. This includes areas such as playing and training equipment, match balls, medical supplies, travel, facilities and wider support for young players who may otherwise find the financial demands of football difficult.
Every contribution made by an Up The Shakers member has therefore helped create a better and more stable environment in which these players can develop.
Building a pathway to the first team
For a club like Bury, developing our own players should be a central part of the long-term strategy.
A successful Under-21 setup can provide the first team with players who already understand the club, its expectations and what it means to represent the town. It can also reduce the need to continually recruit from elsewhere and may eventually create valuable assets for the club.
Not every Under-21 player will go on to become a first-team regular, but every player deserves the best possible opportunity to reach their potential. A properly supported development team gives the coaching staff more time and better resources to work with players, while giving those players a meaningful standard of competitive football.
It also gives younger supporters players they can follow as they progress through the club—from the Under-21s and, hopefully, into the first-team squad.
A forum that does more than talk
Up The Shakers was created as a place for Bury supporters to discuss the club, share opinions and remain connected. However, our members have repeatedly shown that the forum can be much more than a place for conversation.
When the opportunity arose to support the Under-21s, members responded.
Some donated larger amounts, others contributed whatever they could afford, but every donation helped us reach the target. This sponsorship belongs to every member who contributed, shared the appeal or encouraged others to get involved.
Seeing the Up The Shakers name on the front of a Bury FC shirt is something we can all be proud of. It represents the collective effort of supporters who care deeply about the club and want to play a positive role in rebuilding its future.
What it means to the players
For the young players wearing the shirt, the sponsorship also sends an important message: the supporters are watching, they care about their progress, and they want them to succeed.
Pulling on a Bury FC shirt already carries responsibility. Wearing one backed directly by the club’s supporters adds another layer of meaning. It connects the players with the people in the stands and reminds them that the development team is an important part of the wider club.
We hope the players wear the shirt with pride and recognise that an entire community of supporters is behind them.
Thank you
We would like to thank every Up The Shakers member who helped make this possible. Whether you donated, promoted the fundraiser or simply supported the idea, you played a part.
We would also like to thank everyone involved with the Bury FC Under-21s—the coaches, volunteers, players and families who give their time and energy to help develop the next generation.
This is what supporter involvement should look like: backing the club, strengthening its foundations and helping provide opportunities for young people to succeed.
The logo may say Up The Shakers, but the message behind it is even more important: Bury supporters backing Bury players and investing in the future of Bury Football Club.
