Our last cup outing saw Anthony Johnson’s men dispatch Wythenshawe 8-0 courtesy a Kai Evans hat trick.
Our opponents beat Marske United 3-0 to reach the second round of the cup, and sit only two places behind Bury in the league table having won their last five games.
This is the third of five consecutive games at Gigg Lane, where The Shakers have been taking full home advantage so far this campaign, having lost only one at home.
In Opposition – Workington
Workington began with a turbulent history, being founded in 1890, disbanded in 1910, and reformed in 1921 after a ten year break.
In 1951, the team made their debut in the Football League away to Halifax Town.
Six years later, in the 1957/58 season, Workington welcomed Manchester United’s Busby Babes side featuring the likes of Harry Gregg, Bobby Charlton and Duncan Edwards, who lost his life days later in the Munich Air Disaster.
Workington were also famously managed by legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly in the 1950s.

This recognition celebrates our commitment to creating opportunities for all, building confidence, bringing people together and ensuring that everyone, whatever their age, ability, gender or background, has a place to play, feel included and be part of our community.
During the 2025/26 season, our club continued to grow and develop as a truly inclusive community football organisation, supporting 25 junior and community teams alongside a huge range of football and community programmes.
Football for all ages and abilities
Our junior and community teams remain at the heart of the club, giving hundreds of young people the opportunity to develop their football, make friends and be part of a team.
But our offer goes far beyond traditional youth football. We provide recreational men’s and women’s football, creating opportunities for adults of all ages and abilities to enjoy the game in a relaxed, welcoming environment. We have formed some of the first women’s vets teams in the country and our men’s and women’s walking football sessions ensure that age doesn’t have to be a barrier to staying active, socialising and enjoying football.
We believe that a lifelong love of football can start at any age. Our Bury Ballers and Baby Ballers programmes give children aged 2–10 the chance to develop their confidence, coordination and football skills through fun, age-appropriate sessions.
These programmes are about much more than developing future footballers. They help children become active, make new friends and develop important social and physical skills from an early age.
We are also committed to growing the women’s and girls’ game. Our Wildcats and Squad Girls programmes provide girls-only football sessions, creating a positive and supportive environment where girls can enjoy football, develop their skills and build confidence alongside their peers. We want every girl who wants to play football to feel that there is a place for her at our club and that journey doesn’t have to stop as she gets older. Our strong girls’ provision feeds directly into a huge women’s football offer, creating opportunities for players to continue playing, progressing and staying involved in the game throughout their lives.
From introducing girls to football for the first time, through to recreational and competitive opportunities in adulthood, our aim is to create a genuine pathway that keeps women and girls connected to the game.
Football without barriers
Inclusion is fundamental to everything we do.
Our Comets pan-disability programme provides football opportunities for children with disabilities, ensuring that young people can enjoy the game in an environment designed around their needs.
We believe football should be accessible to everyone, and programmes such as Comets demonstrate our commitment to removing barriers and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to participate, belong and thrive.
More than just football
Our work doesn’t stop when the season ends. We deliver holiday clubs, in conjunction with the council, providing children and families with opportunities to stay active, have fun and engage with their community during school holidays.
Through our Community Trust, we also deliver initiatives designed specifically to support underrepresented and disadvantaged groups. This work is central to who we are. We recognise that not everyone has the same opportunities to participate in sport, and we are committed to using football as a vehicle for positive change – tackling barriers to participation, improving wellbeing, bringing communities together and creating opportunities for people who may otherwise be left behind.
Casey Lynchey, Head of Operations & Community:
A club at the heart of its community
Being shortlisted for Manchester FA Grassroots Club of the Year is a huge honour, but for us, the recognition represents something bigger than football. It represents the coaches giving up their time, the volunteers working behind the scenes, the parents supporting their children, the players turning up week after week and the community partners who help us make a difference.
Together, we are building a club where everyone has the opportunity to play, belong and be part of something bigger.
We also want to thank Manchester FA for their relentless support and commitment to helping us upskill our coaches, develop our workforce and bring new initiatives into our community. Their support has helped us continue to grow, improve what we offer and reach even more people through football. We’re incredibly grateful for the partnership and the opportunities they continue to create for our club and our community.

There was only one change to the Shakers lineup that won the week before with Bailey Sloane preferred to Louis Isherwood in defence. Rustam Stepans was back on the bench having missed the last three weeks with concussion but the home side were without their manager in the dugout as he served the first of a three match ban.
In the early exchanges it was the visitors Emley who carved out the first real chances of the day. Former Shaker Gabriel Johnson lead an attacking front three that saw Aaron Haswell’s shot deflected away while Jack Cowgill headed over the bar from a free kick.
Bury grew into the match. A Kai Evans pass was threaded to Mo Touray who set up Leo Graham for a shot that went over the bar. Tom Carr then had a great chance when he got in behind the defence. He went down under pressure from the Pewits keeper yet neither a penalty for a foul nor a booking for simulation was doled out.
Next Touray stole the ball in Emley’s half and played in Owen Robinson. His lob over goalkeeper Ben Bottomley seemed destined to land in the net but was deflected wide and out for a corner.
Bury then had a trio of chances. Carr played in Robinson to shoot. His first effort hit the post, his second was saved by Bottomley. Granted a third chance Robinson laid the ball off to the oncoming Touray who blasted an effort onto the crossbar.
The goal was coming for the Shakers and it was fitting that Robinson would be the one to put it away. A perfect cross from the left by Connor Pye was headed in to open the scoring.
Five minutes later the score was doubled and again it was a cross from Pye that unlocked the defence. A fiercer effort into the box this time and Tom Carr ghosted between two defenders and buried the chance for 2-0.
Finding their groove Bury looked like scoring every time they went forward. A passing move through the middle saw Touray, Carr and Robinson create an opening for Leo Graham but he could only fire over the bar.
The Shakers third goal came from a free kick out on the left. Kai Evans with a goal of the season contender curled an effort to the far top corner that Bottomley at full stretch didn’t get close to.
The away side couldn’t match the Shakers but nearly claimed a goal back before the break. Joe Stacey arriving late for a corner placed a shot that Mitch Allen saved at the bottom corner.
After halftime Bury still showed the type of quality that had now seen them score eighteen goals in their last three home matches. Evans cross was met by Robinson but the onrushing Bottomley did enough to block the shot.
Evans and Robinson combined again shortly afterwards and grabbed the fourth goal of the day. Evans from a narrow angle fired in to put the match beyond a doubt.
The search for a fifth goal never stopped. Substitute Anthony Dudley came the closest heading one chance over, another that hit the post and when played in by Graham his left footed volley was brilliantly saved by the Emley keeper.
The 4-0 win underlined another storming performance from the Shakers, though it is a credit to how well they have performed of late that a four goal victory felt almost routine.
