    Squad Update

    Dave McNabb has offered a status update on the players currently on the injured list at Gigg Lane below ahead of this weekend’s FA Cup tie with Garforth Town.
     
    Macauley Wilson – Macauley limped out of Monday’s match with Cheadle Town late on with a knee injury. It’s still too early to assess how severe the injury is at the moment due to the swelling but we’re hopeful it will only be a week or two.
     
    Ben Hockenhull – Ben has a very minor knock to his knee that kept him out last weekend and he returned to full training this week. He is however cup-tied for the FA Cup, so will be unavailable on Saturday.
     
    Brad Carroll – Brad continues his recovery and is working through the early stages of his rehabilitation with the medical team.
     
    Sam Coughlan – Sam missed Monday’s match with Cheadle Town with a small knock. He has returned to training this week and is available for selection at the weekend.
     
    Morgan Homson Smith – Morgan continues to struggle with an ankle injury picked up during pre-season. He has taken the opportunity to take an extended break in Dubai with his family whilst he recovers from the injury with the medical team working with him remotely on his rehabilitation.
     
    Jack Dunn – Unfortunately, Jack has had another small setback with a minor hamstring strain. He has been working so hard to get back available for selection and has been very unlucky with further injuries. This is to be expected as he returns following a very serious knee injury that kept him out for over 18 months.
     
    Andy Briggs – Andy had a very minor operation on his left leg last week, but has returned to training this week and is available for selection at the weekend.
     
    Our match preview of this weekend’s game is available here. The club’s supporters coach to Garforth Town has sold out with tickets available direct from our hosts here.

    Match Info: Garforth Town (A), Sat 31st Aug, 3pm KO

    We head into the FA Cup once again this weekend as we face NPL East side Garforth Town in the First Qualifying Round.
     
    Dave McNabb’s side come into the game off the back of Bank Holiday Monday’s 3-0 win against Cheadle Town. Alex Cherera picked up a brace and Ruben Jerome also bagged a goal.
     
    Bury currently sit in 5th place, five points behind league leaders Ramsbottom, but we have played two fewer games than our neighbours.
          In Opposition – Garforth Town
    Garforth Town are unbeaten so far this season, having won four from their opening seven games, drawing the other three.
     
    It’s 6 years since our hosts were last in the First Qualifying Round, when they saw defeat away at South Shields.
     
    On two occasions, they’ve progressed passed this stage, but have fallen in the next round against Guiseley in 08/09 & Blyth in 97/98.

    Player Update – Connor Comber

    We can confirm the departure of forward Connor Comber.
     
    We have been informed by another club that Connor has agreed to sign for them.
     
    We haven’t had any contact with him for a number of weeks. Numerous attempts have been made to contact him with no response.
     
    Connor had been struggling with a knee injury sustained towards the end of pre-season, which left him out the squad in initial weeks.
     
    The 23-year-old made 85 appearances for the club scoring 29 goals and making 22 assists.
     
    We would like to wish him all the best for the future.

    Women’s Match Preview: Fleetwood Town Wrens (H) Wed 28th Aug 7:45pm kick-off

    Our women’s first team hosts Fleetwood Town Wrens following a successful first home game at Gigg Lane, with the Shakers looking to build on the strength they delivered over the bank holiday weekend.


    Fleetwood Town Wrens finished eighth in the table last season, just one place above Bury.

    Out of two games played so far in the 2024-25 season, the Wrens drew 3-3 against FC United of Manchester, and lost 4-3 against Crewe Alexandra, currently sitting eight in the table compared to Bury’s third place seat.
     
    In the most recent meeting between the sides we saw a level draw with each team scoring a goal, back in March. Earlier in the season, in Bury’s home fixture, the Shakers came out on top in what was an impressive 3-1 win.
     
    Don’t miss out on what will undoubtedly be an exciting game, and head down to Gigg Lane to show your support. Entry via turnstile at the Manchester Road End from 7pm.
     
    Prices: £3 adults, £1 children

    Parking: limited – spaces are first come first served
