    Our women’s first team hosts Curzon Ashton FC Women this coming Sunday, where the Shakers will be looking to progress through to the third and final qualifying round of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup.


    Currently sitting second in the table, Curzon Ashton have had a strong start to the season. So far, the team has beaten Crewe Alexandra (0-2 and 3-1), West Didsbury and Chorlton (1-5), and FC United of Manchester (1-2). The team also drew 2-2 with West Didsbury and Chorlton, and faced only one loss to Mancunian Unity (8-0).

    Match Info: Ramsbottom United (A), Tue 17th Sept, 7:45pm KO

    There is no respite for the Shakers and the games keep coming! We follow our cracking 3-0 Emirates FA Cup victory at Blyth Spartans on Saturday by taking on local rivals Ramsbottom United at the Harry Williams Stadium in Rammy on Tuesday evening (kick-off 7.45pm).

    At Blyth, second-half goals from Alex Cherera, Bebeto Gomes and Connor Pye saw off a team who have previously enjoyed many Cup successes and laid to rest a nearly 30-year-old ghost, by avenging Spartans two-nil victory at Gigg Lane in the same competition in 1995.

    Highlights and post-match review is available on our YouTube channel (links below)
        The victory extends our unbeaten run to 14 games in all competitions. We are currently sixth in the North-West Counties Premier Division, having won six out of nine matches and drawn three. 
     
    The fact that we have played only nine games puts us at a short-term disadvantage compared with the clubs above us when it comes to the table – including The Rams, who are currently top with 26 points from 13 games.
     
    We played Ramsbottom twice last season in the final flurry of matches which saw us narrowly miss promotion. We won 2-1 at home and drew 0-0 away, having earlier knocked them out of the Macron Cup with a win on penalties at the Harry Williams Riverside Stadium in November.     

    It’s an early season top of the table clash and a derby at that! Full information is available below.
        In Opposition – Ramsbottom United
    Last season, the Rams finished 18th in the table, with 50 points from 46 matches. But they come into the game against Bury not only top-of-the-league with eight wins already, but also fresh from a 6-0 win at Burscough on Saturday.

    Manager Steve Wilkes has seen a turnaround in fortunes at the club following that disappointing season last time out. They go into this first local derby with the Shakers in fine form and will be looking to come out on top in the league for the first time, after a defeat and draw last season.

    Oumar Camara and Luke Sephton look to be the ones to watch, both with six-goals each so far this term. As well as Saturday’s heavy scoreline at Burscough, they have also dispatched the same team 4-0 earlier in the season, as well as defeating early pace-setters, FC St Helens and more recently, Padiham at the Ruby Civil Arena.
     
    We head to the Harry Williams Riverside Stadium named after their owner, Harry Williams, who was on the committee which set up the club in 1966. They started life in the Bury Amateur League with Harry as manager – a position he held for 19 years. They later played in the Bolton Combination and the Manchester League before becoming a part-time professional club in the North-West Counties League in 1996.
     
    Progression through into the Northern Premier League followed under the tutelage of joint-managers Bernard Morley and Anthony Johnson from 2009, something that Chris Wilcock continued when in position from 2017 with chances to progress further slipping through the fingers in sometimes unfortunate circumstances.

    Wilcock left for rivals at the time, Workington Town, in 2021 and the club was then relegated back into the NWCFL for the start of the 2023-24 season.
