Match Info: Stockport Town (H), Tue 24th Sept, 7:45pm KO

Shakers go into their midweek home game against Stockport cock-a-hoop after Saturday’s convincing 3-0 Isuzu FA Vase victory over Burscough.

The result never looked in doubt after Reuben Jerome opened the scoring in the seventh minute. There were elements of luck in the goal, but it was reward for shrewd use of the long ball against a shaky defence.
 
It was all over bar the shouting by half-time. Defender Ben Hockenhull notched the second from close range following a free kick in the 31st minute and Rustam Stepans grabbed the third goal and his ninth of the season four minutes later.
 
The victory sees us through to the first round proper of the competition on October 19, when we face Chadderton. It takes our encouraging unbeaten start to the season to 16 matches.
 
There were several changes in the Shakers line-up on Saturday, and expect more against Stockport Town as we look ahead to our massive FA Cup game at Radcliffe Borough on Saturday.
            In Opposition – Stockport Town
This is Stockport Town’s first season in the NWCFL Premier Division following their promotion as Division One South runners-up for the second year running.


They’ve made a decent start, winning six and losing five of their 13 matches and at the moment are in 10th position in the league table. After losing three games on the bounce to Abbey Hey (H) Burscough (H) and Chadderton (A), Town won their last three – at home to FC St Helens and Prestwich Heys and away at AFC Liverpool.


The club was created in 2014, and after a season of matches against some decent sides was accepted into the NWCFL Division One South a year later. A new era began five years ago, when Town was bought by national coaching organisation the Pro Football Academy, which aims to nurture the talent of children aged 5-14.

Match Info: Burscough (H), Sat 21st Sept, 3:00pm KO

It’s back to knock-out football as the Shakers face NWCFL rivals Burscough in the Isuzu FA Vase second qualifying round (kick-off 3.00pm).
 
This follows hard on the heels of Tuesday’s thrilling 1-1 away NWCFL draw with league leaders and local rivals Ramsbottom United and last Saturday’s thumping 3-0 FA Cup away victory over Blyth Spartans.

The games keep coming as we progress in two cup competitions and try to catch up with an early season deficit in league games played.
 
Rustam Stepans scored the spectacular equaliser against the Rams. Facing away from goal and with his marker at his back, Stepans flicked the ball over his head with his right foot and turned to volley it into the net with his left.
 
The goals at Blyth came from Alex Cherera, Bebeto Gomes and Connor Pye – his first for the club. And what a game they set up! The draw on Monday paired the Shakers with ultimate local rivals Radcliffe Borough in the third qualifying round.
 
The Isuzu FA Vase is the leading knock-out competition for tiers 9 and 10 of the English football league system. The winners of the Bury-Burscough game go into the first round proper on Saturday 19 October.

  In Opposition – Burscough
Burscough are currently 10th in the NWCFL – four places below Bury – with 17 points from 13 games compared with Bury’s 21 from 9. Last weekend they lost 6-0 at home to Ramsbottom and on Tuesday drew 2-2 at FC St Helens.
 
The club came into existence in 1946. They were founder members of the North-West Counties league in 1982, and topped the table in its first year. Last season they finished 20th, having drawn 2-2 with Bury both at home and away.
 
Their greatest triumph was winning the FA Trophy in 2003, when they beat Tamworth 2-1 at Villa Park in front of a crowd of 15,000.
