Match Info: Chadderton FC (H), Tue 1st Oct, 7:45pm KO

Pressure? This Bury team thrives on it. Everyone knows the league is our top priority. But this past weekend it was the FA Cup and a visit to Radcliffe.

It was a remarkable away victory in a massive local derby, against a team three tiers above us in the football pyramid but Dave, his staff and his team never thought they wouldn’t come away with the win.

Before the kick off there was a tribute to the late Paul Hilton, Radcliffe’s Chairman, who sadly passed away last week. With both clubs laying wreaths in the center circle and all 2,800 in attendance taking part in a minute’s applause to celebrate the life a man who has done so much not only for non-league football but for his club’s local community too. He will be missed by all who knew him.

The game began… And what a game: Radcliffe one up after seven minutes. Bury level in 57 and ahead in 82. Radcliffe level in 89. And finally…Bury’s winning penalty in 103. Amazing!

Yes, we celebrated our win on Saturday. Yes, we all awaited the fourth qualifying round draw with baited breath. But there’s no blurring of the focus on promotion as we look back to the North West Counties Premier Division and a huge match against second placed Chadderton, a team who find themselves in a rich vein of form in recent weeks.

It’s going to be a tough game, but Dave and his team are revved up and ready to go following this weekend’s win and we need you behind us from the first minute until the final whistle!!

You can relive all the action from Saturday and hear post match feedback from Tim Lees, Sam Coughlan and Captain Gaz Peet below.
          In Opposition – Chadderton FC
Good performances in recent games have put Chadderton in a strong position in the NWCFL Premier Division table, just behind leaders Ramsbottom and having played two games fewer. Their 32 points from 15 matches compares with Ramsbottom’s 36 from 17 and Bury’s 25 from 11 in fifth position.

On Friday night, Chadderton beat AFC Liverpool 7-1 away, having won 5-3 at
Prestwich Heys on Tuesday. These results followed an 8-4 home win against Retford United from the Central Midlands league in the Isuzu FA Vase. Their opponents at home in the first round proper are none other than the Shakers.

The Chadderton club came into existence in 1947 and took their present name in 1957. They joined the Lancashire Combination in 1980 and two years later were one of the founding clubs in the NWCFL.
