It was a day on which our skill was backed up by grit and determination. Everyone – not least manager Dave McNabb – was embarrassed by the abysmal midweek performance against Litherland REMYCA. So we’re back on track for our vital December run of fixtures.
We were without suspended Ben Hockenhull, but were boosted by the last-minute signing of tough-tackling Aaron Chalmers. He not only strengthened the defence but popped the ball into the Colne net in a goalmouth scramble.
Ben is available for the Irlam game and popular striker Djavan Pedro – also on five yellows – will play. But DJ will miss Saturday’s home match against Abbey Hey.
Losing twice in four games shook us all after going 21 without a single defeat. So the convincing victory against Colne restored morale around the club – along with seeing Nicky Adams back in a Bury shirt.
Up the Shakers!!
In Opposition – Irlam
This is a club with a long and distinguished history. They held us to a 2-2 draw at Gigg Lane back in August and are currently 11th in the league. They finished last season in 13th place.
Irlam will be determined to build on a run of decent results. They have lost only one of their last six games, won two and drawn three – including 1-1 result at home against leaders Ramsbottom United just over a week ago.
Last season we beat them 3-0 at home but lost 1-0 away – a defeat which cost us in our bid for promotion.
