    Match Info: Pilkington (H), Tue 28th Nov, 7:45pm KO

    It was disappointment in Burscough for The Shakers on Saturday, falling to defeat to bottom of the table Skelmersdale United.

    On day where it just didn’t seem to click for Dave McNabbs men, Pascal Chimbonda’s Skelmersdale side made sure that they took their chances and were fortunate enough to gain a goal courtesy of a rare Harry Wright error.

    Skem Chairman Frank Hughes described to us on Playing Away how there was a False bottom in our Division and his team showcased why they perhaps should not be written off as relegation fodder.

    Dave McNabb had a message for all the fans as he spoke to our Match Reporter Adam Clark following Saturday’s game, he also took to x.com to show his appreciation for the support shown to the team. You can see his post match interview below.
      We however can’t dwell on the defeat for too long, as we are straight back into league action this coming Tuesday for our re-arranged fixture against newly promoted Pilkington FC.

    After a strong start to life in the NWCFL Premier Division following promotion from the Division One North as champions last term, Pilkington have struggled in recent weeks with four losses , one win and a single draw in their last six outings.

    A 4-3 win at the Acroframe Stadium against Skelmersdale being the only victory in that spell, Pilks were defeated by Chadderton over the weekend and they sit 16th going into the game, on 29 points from 23 games.

    The full match information pack can be found below.
          In Opposition – Pilkington
    The club was established in 1938 and joined both the Liverpool Business Houses League and the St Helens Combination. The name originates from the Pilkington glass factory in St. Helens. They later became members of the Liverpool County Football Combination. In 1980 the club joined Division Two of the Mid-Cheshire League. When Division Two was abolished in 1983, they became part of the league’s single division. The club finished bottom of the league in 1986–87.

    A new second division of the Mid-Cheshire League was formed in 1987 and Pilkington became members of Division One. However, after finishing bottom of the league in 1988–89 and 1990–91, they were relegated to Division Two. The club were Division Two runners-up in 1997–98, resulting in promotion to Division One. They finished bottom of the division in 1999–2000, but were reprieved from relegation after another team left the league. The following season saw the club win the Liverpool Junior Cup, a trophy the club won again in 2004–05.

    In 2010–11 Pilkington were runners-up in Division One, missing out on the title on goal difference. The division was renamed the Premier Division in 2014. The club finished bottom of the Premier Division in 2014–15 and were relegated to Division One. They won the league’s Presidents Cup in 2016–17, and after finishing as runners-up in Division One in 2017–18, the club were promoted back to the Premier Division. The following season saw them win the Premier Division title, resulting in promotion to Division One North of the North West Counties League. They were Division One North champions in 2022–23 and were promoted to the Premier Division.

    The club originally played at Crossley Road, before moving to Ruskin Drive at the beginning of the 1948–49 season. Their home ever since, the complex was redeveloped from 2016 to incorporate an astro-turf pitch amongst additional upgraded facilites to cater for all sports including space for other local football clubs, as well as rugby, cricket and tennis. The ground is shared with other local side, St Helen’s Town AFC.

    Match Info: Cheadle Town (A), Sun 26th Nov, 2pm KO

    This weekend, attention turns to Cheadle Town Stingers, in a tough fixture away from home.
    Our 3-1 victory in the League last weekend against Fleetwood Town Wrens Ladies was another fine performance by the team, making it our fourth consecutive win in all competitions, and our third league win of this season’s campaign.
    Our next fixture is going to take place this weekend against Cheadle Town Ladies in the North West Women’s Regional League.
    Our opponents are in fine form, and currently sit at the top of the league table with 21 points, after 9 games. They have a record this season of 7 Wins and 2 losses, demonstrating their strengths this campaign.
    The fixture is set to be a tough competition against the league leaders, however, due to good form coming into the match, the team are hopeful to come away with a positive result. The team have trained well this week for it and new players are really gelling so Jarrett’s side are full of confidence.
    The match is taking place on Sunday 26th November, with the game kicking off at 2pm. The venue for the fixture is on Park Road in Cheadle, at the home ground of Cheadle Town.
    The weather looks set to be dry but chilly, so come down and support the team and wrap up warm!
