The Shakers needed a good performance after the tame home draw against Irlam at Gigg Lane last weekend. And they lived up to their nickname with six goals in an amazing second half.
The goal-fest began with a rapid-fire hat-trick in 10 minutes from Reuben Jerome, followed by goals Rustam Stepan (71), Cameron Fogarty (80) and Efe Ambrose (92).
There was little warning of what was to come in the first half, when Bury’s dominance was rewarded by just one goal from Bebeto Gomes on 13 minutes.
The victory keeps them just two points behind leaders Charnock Richard, and gives them a goal difference of 10 – not bad after just four league games!
In Opposition – Avro
Avro FC have won one and lost one of their first two games in the Northern Premier League West Division. After a 1-0 victory at home to Atherton Collieries on Saturday they lost by the same score at Wythenshawe Town on Tuesday. There was a touch of irony there, because Town were promoted last season via the NWCL premiership play-offs at Bury’s expense.
This is the Oldham club’s second season in the NPL. They started life in 1936 at the Failsworth factory of aircraft builder A V Roe. The club joined the Manchester League in 1954. They were promoted to the league’s Premier Division exactly half a century later. They topped the division in 2010 and held on to the title in the following season.
A big step forward came in 2017 when they left their Failsworth base and moved to a newly-built stadium in Oldham. For several years they shared the ground – now called the Vestacare Stadium – with the Oldham rugby league club. It has a 4G artificial turf pitch.
In 2018, Avro were promoted to the North West Counties League Division One North, and the following year went up to the Premier Division after finishing second.

Brad Carroll
We’ve been dealt some bad news in the last week with the scan results coming back on Brad knee injury confirming that he has a full rupture of his PCL and is likely to be out for up to 6 months. Brad has been brilliant since he came to the club, fantastic performances on the pitch and a player who is highly respected and well thought of in the changing room.
Morgan Homson-Smith
Morgan is out for another two weeks with an ankle injury. After a very impressive start to preseason Morgan was really unlucky to pick up the knock at Atherton LR in early July. I’m sure once he’s cleared to play he will get back to full speed pretty quickly.
Jack Dunn
Jack has had a tough couple of years with a serious knee injury. As expected he will pick up a few niggles and strains as he makes his way back to full fitness. Jack has been back into training this week and should be available for selection in the next week or two. We know we will have to be patient with Jack but it will certainly be worth it when we get him 100% fit and sharp.
Iyrwah Gooden
Iyrwah is unavailable for the next 10 days. Another who’s had a brilliant start to his life as a shaker and will no doubt be missed over the next few games.
Bryan Ly
Bryan will be back into full contact training this week and available for selection next weekend following a concussion. It’s been extremely frustrating to lose Bryan but there’s nothing more important than the health and wellbeing of our players and it’s a very long season ahead.
Connor Comber
Connor has missed a large portion of preseason due to holidays and injury. Connor trained a couple of weeks ago and managed to play in the final weekend of preseason away to Nelson but unfortunately has picked up another injury since. It’s nothing serious but painful impact injury on his knee.

Everyone around Gigg Lane had high hopes for lift-off in the first game on Bury’s new pitch. The Blue and White Army in the South Stand were in good voice, but it turned out to be a frustrating afternoon for them and for manager Dave McNabb.
Bury struggled in a sluggish first half in which they went behind twice, but managed to pull back to 2-2 with a Stepan penalty – literally the last kick of the half.
The performance improved after the interval, but not enough to give them victory which would have put them into the top three in the league.
Still undefeated, the Shakers now face Abbey Hey. They were promoted from the NWCFL First Division South via last season’s play-offs. But they’ve had a disappointing start to their season.
In Opposition – Abbey Hey
Abbey Hey also had a 2-2 home draw on Saturday – against AFC Liverpool, who had beaten them 3-0 on Merseyside just eight days earlier. These results, along with two 3-0 defeats away from home by FC St Helens and Ramsbottom United, have left them in 22nd position in the league.
Like so many football clubs, Abbey started life – way back in 1902 – in a church Sunday league, and over the years played in various local leagues. They were given a big boost in the 1960 by an influx of good players from a works team which had been disbanded.
After playing for many years on grounds which belonged to other people, they finally achieved some security – with the help of the City Council – by acquiring their own home just 40 years ago. They joined the North West Counties Division II in 1998.
