    Match Info: Maghull (H), Sat 24th Aug, 3:00pm KO

    The Shakers march on! Tuesday’s convincing 2-0 league victory against AFC Liverpool lifted us to fifth position in the league table, just two points behind leaders Ramsbottom United. We now face Maghull at home in the FA Vase first qualifying stage on Saturday and Cheadle Town in the league on Monday.
     
    There was only ever one team in Tuesday’s match, although there was quite a gap between the goals. Skipper Macauley Wilson’s header gave us the lead on 12 minutes, and it was a long 80 minutes more before we hit a second. But Rustam Stepans’ cool and clinical penalty clincher on 90+2 was well worth the wait.
     
    After five league games, unbeaten Bury are now in 5th place on 11 points – just two behind Ramsbottom United and Chadderton. Now if we’d won instead of drawing against Irlam in our first game on the 3G pitch… But there’s every reason to be positive as we face two more games at Gigg Lane in three days. Up first: Maghull FC in the FA Vase first preliminary round on Saturday.


     
            In Opposition – Maghull
    Maghull went down 3-2 away to Manchester side Maine Road FC on Monday evening. They are currently fifth in Division One North of the NWCFL, having won four matches, drawn two and lost two.
     
    The Merseyside club was founded in 1921 and joined the Zingari Alliance League 1922-23. They were in the Cheshire County League when it linked up with the Lancashire Combination to create the NWCFL in 1988.

    Club celebrate latest big winner via Treasureline!

    As we fly through the off season, our colleagues at NYCDA have been out and about once more to visit recent Treasureline supporting winners. These are always nice events to showcase what we do, as well as finding out more about them and their connection to Bury FC and the town in general. Next up we made the short trip up Bolton Road to visit Margaret Dudley to help her celebrate her recent win.

    Whilst not being the biggest Bury FC fan herself, it was nice to hear about Margaret’s pleasure in supporting her local club and its work in the local community. Having lived close to Gigg Lane many years ago, the connection started with her son Gary selling progammes at matches in his younger days. That familiar connection continues to this day with Margaret’s grandson and granddaughter joining the trips to watch the club more recently.

    Indeed, it was interesting to hear how the support of the club’s various lottery related offers, through both Margaret and her husband Brian, goes back more than 25 years. Sadly, Brian passed away last year, however Margaret has continued on her support, which has led to her recent £1000 win on the NYCDA Weekly Draw. It was nice to hear that she plans to put her well deserved winnings to good use and enjoy some sunshine on holiday later in the year.

    Right now, you too could be like Margaret for as little as £1 per week. With that in mind, for information including how to join and weekly results, as well as some insights as to where the proceeds are used and the kind of work this partnership will continue to support, please click here.

    Women’s Match Preview: Salford City (A) Weds 21st Aug 7:30pm kick-off

    Our Women’s first team start the season tonight against Salford City Lionesses. In the opening game of the season the girls will look to start the campaign under Jason Jarrett as they mean to go on.
     
    Last week Salford were beaten 1-0 in a tough away opener against Tranmere Rovers. Salford endured a tough 2023/24 season finishing 10th in the North West Women’s Regional League (same division as Bury) picking up just 7 points fewer than Wednesday’s opponents, Bury.
     
    In the sides most recent meeting it was Bury who came out on top with a convincing 4-0 victory in April in what was the side’s final match of the season. Early in the season, in Bury’s home fixture, Salford produced a second-half masterclass to earn a 5-0 win.
     
    Amongst the summer signings to strengthen squad depth ahead of the new campaign include 16-year-old, latest arrival Leah Costello Eastwood, former Tottenham Hotspur defender Jordan Harding and 16-year-old forward Natalie Ainsworth who has looked like a confident goal scorer in pre-season.
     
    Why not come down and support the girls at St Ambrose Barlow RC High School where this match against Salford will be taking place.
     
    We hope to see you there tonight for what should be an interesting fixture that we hope Bury can come out on top of.

    Match Info: AFC Liverpool (H), Tue 20th Aug, 7:45pm KO

    We face AFC Liverpool tomorrow (7.45pm) as we start a run of three home games in seven days. And we do so in good heart after two great victories.

    Notching up an impressive 2-1 win against Avro in the Emirates FA Cup Preliminary Round on Saturday after that thumping 7-1 win at Abbey Hey four days earlier.

    The Shakers took the lead against the Northern Premier League side through Alex Cherera just before half-time. The Oldham side equalised through a free kick late in the second half just as Lewis Alessandra came on as a substitute. But new signing Alessandra grabbed the winner three minutes from time.

    Maghull FC follow AFC Liverpool at Gigg next Saturday, and Cheadle Town FC on Bank Holiday Monday (both 3.00pm).

    The last time Bury were at home they played out a disappointing 2-2 draw against Irlam in the first game on the new 3G pitch. We are hoping for better as welcome Merseyside-based opposition to Gigg Lane for the first time of the season. Get all your match details below.
     
            In Opposition – AFC Liverpool
    AFC Liverpool are currently fourth in the NWCFL Premiership table, having won three and drawn one of their four matches, just ahead of Bury’s two wins and two draws.
     
    The club was born in 2008 as an expression of frustration by 1,000 Liverpool FC fans at the cost and difficulty of getting tickets for Premier League matches.
     
    They insisted that they had no issue with the Anfield club or its owners but with the way the top end of English football was being run. Indeed, they hoped to be considered Liverpool’s “little brother”.
     
    After entering into a ground-sharing agreement with Prescot Cables, they joined the North West Counties Football League and three years later accepted the offer of a place in the Premier Division. After relegation and then promotion, they are now seen as an established Premier Division team.
