Match Info: Clitheroe (H), Fri 26th Dec, 3:00pm KO

Boxing Day football returns to Gigg Lane as we welcome Clitheroe in what promises to be a competitive festive encounter.

With a big holiday crowd expected and momentum at stake as the season enters a crucial phase, the Shakers will be looking to make home advantage count against a first-time Lancashire opponent. After the excitement of Christmas, attention turns back to the pitch, where three points on Boxing Day could set the tone for the remainder of the campaign.

Last time out, we made it two wins from two under Tim Lees with a deserved 1–0 victory away at Newcastle Town. Rustam Stepans’ first-half penalty proved decisive. Despite the narrow scoreline, Bury dominated throughout, creating a host of chances and rarely being troubled at the other end, with a composed defensive display, including an impressive debut from Luke Tabone, ensuring all three points were safely secured.
In Opposition – Clitheroe
Clitheroe are in their 22nd straight season at Step 4 in the Northern Premier League West.

Founded in 1877, the club’s long history eventually settled at Shawbridge in the 1920s, with notable success in the Lancashire Combination and later national recognition through FA Vase runs, including a Wembley final in the 1990s.
Sean McConville’s impact has renewed optimism that the Blues can push forward as they enter their second century at Shawbridge.

Luke Tabone Joins Bury FC on Short-Term Loan

Bury FC are pleased to confirm the arrival of defender Luke Tabone, who has joined the Club on a 28-day loan from Southport.


The commanding centre-back adds further depth and experience to the Shakers’ defence. Standing at 6ft 4in, Tabone brings a strong physical presence, aerial ability and leadership qualities at the heart of the backline.


The 27-year-old boasts valuable experience at both club and international levels. He has represented the Maltese National Team, first receiving a call-up in March 2023 for UEFA European Championship qualifiers against North Macedonia and Italy, and making the matchday squad against North Macedonia. Tabone went on to make his senior international debut in June 2024, coming on as a second-half substitute against Greece.


Tabone began his football journey in the youth ranks of Nadur Youngsters on the island of Gozo in Malta, before spending time in the academy system at Burnley. He later returned to Nadur Youngsters in 2018, where he made his senior debut and continued his development.


In 2023, he moved to Haverfordwest County, playing his part in a historic campaign for the Welsh side. That season saw the club achieve their highest-ever points tally in a 12-team Cymru Premier, as well as secure qualification for the UEFA Conference League.


Luke joined Southport in June 2025, following his spell with Haverfordwest County, and has gone on to make eight appearances for the Sandgrounders.


He now links up with the Shakers on a short-term basis and will be looking to make an immediate impact during his time at Gigg Lane.


Everyone at the Club would like to welcome Luke to Bury FC and wish him the best during his loan spell.

Match Info: Newcastle Town (A), Sat 20th Dec, 3pm KO

Our trip to Newcastle Town begins the busy Christmas period of four games in 14 days. Tim Lees will lead the team to Stoke on Trent this weekend, as it was confirmed this week, he will lead the Shakers for the rest of the season.

The Shakers picked up a 2-1 victory last time out against Mossley, taking an early lead before being pegged back in an end-to-end first half. Chances came at both ends, with Shakers repeatedly going close. Persistence paid off late on as Gavin Massey’s close-range header sealed all three points.

Newcastle Town are without a win in five games, and come into this one off the back of a 5-0 defeat at the hands of Bootle.

In Opposition – Newcastle Town

Newcastle Town have played consistently at this level since the 2010/11 season, after their league title win in the North West Counties League and reached the playoff semi-finals in their debut season.

Across the last four seasons, they’ve finished between 14th & 16th. The club reached the semi-finals of the FA Vase in the 1999/2000 season.
