The North West Counties Football League have released updated dates for the playoffs following Charnock Richard’s continuing progress in the playoff hunt. These are now:

Play-off Semi-Finals
2nd v 5th and 3rd v 4th, Tuesday 30th April

Play-off Final
Winners of each Semi-Final, Saturday 4th May

Ties are to be played at the home venue of the higher ranking side.

As it stands, we are due to take on Padiham at Gigg Lane in our play-off semi final. Should Charnock proceed to win both tomorrow night at Colne and against Pilkington on Saturday, we will take on the Greens at Gigg Lane and Padiham will take on Wythenshawe Town. Kendal Town would fall out of the play-off picture in this case.

More details on admission arrangements for the Semi-Final will be communicated after the point our opponent is confirmed.

The North West Counties Football League released the dates for the playoffs ahead of the end of the season, taking place over the following two Saturdays as indicated below:

Play-off Semi-Finals
2nd v 5th and 3rd v 4th, Saturday 27th April

Play-off Final
Winners of each Semi-Final, Saturday 4th May

Ties are to be played at the home venue of the higher ranking side.

Following yesterday’s results, we are due to take on Padiham at Gigg Lane next Saturday in our play-off semi final.

However, there remains the completion of fixture backlog for other sides going into next week. Charnock Richard still have four games to complete their season and their potential points haul could still see them grab 4th place, and a play-off spot.

Should it be mathematically possible that Charnock could still affect the play-off picture, the Semi-Finals would be delayed to the following midweek to account for this.

The league will review the situation on Wednesday this week, following the completion of the first two of Charnock Richard’s games – taking place on Monday 22nd and Tuesday 23rd.

More details on admission arrangements for the Semi-Final will be communicated after this point.

Bury Football Club is saddened to learn of the passing of Leighton James at the age of 71.
 
The winger was part of Martin Dobson’s famous “Forgotten Fifteen” who won promotion in the 1984/85 season using only 15 players all season, Leighton made 46 appearances and scored five goals.

James won 54 caps for Wales, scoring 10 goals including a famous penalty to secure victory over England at Wembley in 1977.

In his long and storied career he made almost 650 club appearances, turning out for clubs such as Burnley, Swansea, Derby, QPR, Sunderland and Newport County.

He later held various coaching positions at a number of clubs, including Llanelli, before moving into media work as a columnist and pundit, where the directness and honesty he showed as a player continued to be in evidence.

The thoughts of everyone at Bury are with Leighton’s friends and family at this sad time.

Once a Shaker. Always a Shaker.
