    Match Info: West Didsbury & Chorlton (A), Sat 28th Oct, 3pm KO

    What a way to follow up a bad result: two wins and two clean sheets, in-front of two bumper crowds at Gigg Lane in the past week, which put us clear at the top of the league as we head to another play-off chasing side this Saturday.

    The Step Places Stadium is the venue for a sell-out clash, as fifth placed West Didsbury & Chorlton welcome the top-of-the-table Shakers to South Manchester. West’s form of two wins in seven league games will no doubt be a concern to manager Chris Rowley, but if the reverse fixture from early September is anything to go by – we are in for some fireworks.

    Benito Lowe’s return from early season injury was timed perfectly, as he swiveled past his marker with added time almost up to place the ball into the top corner and send the majority of the 3,838 crowd home delighted following a pulsating 4-3 win. Recap the best bits, with our highlights below.
     

    A 4-0 drubbing of Wythenshawe Town last weekend, with a debut hat-trick from Joe Duckworth was followed up with a more workmanlike performance against a lowly-placed Squires Gate on Tuesday. The game saw Lowe grab his 11th of the season and become the difference between the two sides. He left the field with strapping on his thigh, and of equal concern to manager Dave McNabb, Andy Scarisbrick left the field hobbling in the second half following a nasty challenge.

    McNabb hope will pull up in time for the trip to West, otherwise their will no doubt be a scrap for the starting number nine shirt, with Dan Cockerline (right) joining Andy Briggs on the subs bench just before kick-off on Tuesday. Both will be vying to be on the teamsheet come Saturday at 3pm.

    With a current record of seven wins from the last 10 is impressive, the manager admitted to a questioning of the squad’s mentality at points on Tuesday night. He will be pleased no doubt that whilst struggling at stages against Gate, the side still came away with the win – the sign of a good side in development.

    The wins keep putting the pressure onto the chasing pack, who return to league action this weekend – with Wythenshawe taking on FC Isle of Man and Kendal Town traveling to nearby Ramsbottom United.

    Let’s see where the land lies at 5pm on Saturday but for now, all your pre-match information is available below. NOTE: If you do not have a ticket for Saturday, supporters are asked not to travel to the game.
          In Opposition – West Didsbury & Chorlton
    West Didsbury and Chorlton AFC was founded as Christ Church A.F.C. in 1908, over 100 years ago, by Mr. R F Hartley, a Sunday School Superintendent at the church on Princess Parkway, West Didsbury.

    Competing as a grassroots club in the South Manchester area for the majority of their existence, ‘West’ applied to enter the Manchester League structure in 2006 and after fitting floodlights at Brookburn Road (now called the Step Places Stadium) to meet FA requirements in 2011, were permitted into the NWCFL in 2012.

    West reached the Premier Division for the very first time in 2022, following the winning of the Division One South league. They finished a respectable 9th last season, with 64 points and amassing a competitive 81 goals in the process.

    Captain – Tom Moore

    Tom Moore has been confirmed as the new club captain of Bury Football Club.

    Manager Dave McNabb hosted a vote amongst the players and staff, to choose the new captain with Tom selected to lead the team in this new era.

    Moore joined from Bootle only a matter of weeks ago, but has impressed as a towering presence in defence, as well as showing skills with the ball at his feet. Being able to offer either cross-field diagonals or quick balls into our forwards with precision has formed an important part of the new manager’s tactical plans.

    Charlie Doyle will be vice-captain with Oliver Jepson as third choice. Senior players, Andy Scarisbrick and Chris Rowney will make up the leadership group of five.
      The manager gave buryfc.co.uk his thoughts on the decision:
     
      We also offer our congratulations to Tom and all of the leadership group. We will have reaction from the new club captain this evening after the game.
      Get on down to Gigg Lane tonight to Tom lead the side out for the first time, grab your ticket HERE.
