Reaction: Patrick Jarrett Burscough (A)

After the Shakers 4-2 win over Burscough Patrick Jarrett gave his thoughts to the club on the game after his first start for the club.


Patrick Jarrett: “I thought as a whole it was positive in the first half we looked a real threat every time we went forward and we kept winning it back high up and we went forward with purpose but yeah the first half was good but in the second half I don’t think we really found our groove really what’s a bit of a shame considering we did so well in the first half so it’s about piecing both halves together and putting in complete performances but on the whole it was positive.”


Patrick than told us what the half time message was after a dominant half what saw Bury take a 4-0 lead into the break, he said “it was just more of the same really and you know we were winning the ball high up and the press looked decent and just more of the same really, but it didn’t really go that way what was annoying really and they came out in the second half what is what the manager said and we couldn’t find a way of dealing with that but we grounded out another 3 points and that’s the main thing.”


Patrick than looked ahead to the midweek game against Litherland REMYCA saying “It was disappointing to lose against Lower Breck, so we needed to put that right and get the 3 points and that’s what we did. It’s a massive game Wednesday and it’s a quick turnaround we’ll train on Monday, but we need to be right for it and we need to be in the right mindset for it and get the 3 points and carry on the momentum

Reaction: Lewis Earl Longbridge Town (H)

Bury have extended their unbeaten streak to 21 matches after a dominant display against Longbridge Town today’s Player Of The Match Lewis Earl gave us his thoughts on the game when speaking to the club.


Lewis Earl: “I thought it was a confident performance, and I thought we did everything right we were clinical in front of goal and solid at the back. Off the ball we were unbelievable, and it was the kind of performance we needed really after a couple of games where we’ve been good in halves and good in spells it was good to get a solid performance and blow someone away.”


He then spoke about whether today’s performance, really shows what this club is about saying “Yeah definitely, we spoke about that at the end of the game obviously as I say the first half on Tuesday night here wasn’t good enough, but we’ve shown today that were a team that’s good enough to do it and we need to be doing it more often instead of scraping through games and we can do stuff like that but we’ve got to be doing that all the time.”


Lewis then spoke about whether the issue of not starting fast enough in previous games is something that will be left in the past he said “Hopefully, that’s all we can say but we’ve got to look towards the next game if it’s something and it’s nothing were doing consciously it’s something that just kind of happens, but we need to get that out and we know that we need to start faster we’ve talked about it a lot that we need to start imposing ourself on games.”


To finish the interview Lewis looked forward to our upcoming run of away games and whether today’s performance was important heading into this run.


Lewis Earl: “Yeah definitely, we talk with the lads as well about how away games always feel like home games with the number of fans we bring as well, the fans are unbelievable, so it really helps but yeah a result like this helps with tough fixtures coming up.”

Reaction: DJ Pedro Longbridge Town (H)

DJ Pedro spoke to the club about today’s performance after scoring a brace in a dominant performance for the Shakers.

DJ Pedro: “I thought today the lads were excellent, pressing from the front we mentioned that the other day in training about pressing from the front, staying high and keeping the backline high and that kept us high and winning the ball higher up the pitch and starting the games better and put two halves together and we did.”


He than spoke, us through both his goals in today’s game saying “The first one was a bit of a surprise, we won the ball high up the pitch like I said from pressing and the ball got played through to me and I saw so much space ahead of me so I took a touch and I know I could take it early so I took it early, the keeper got a little touch on it but I knew it was going to end up in the net but yeah I’m happy.”


DJ than spoke about whether he relishes playing centrally in the Bury attack because of Bury attacking strength he said “Today I thought are attack was very good, we scored goals but we created numerous more chances and I feel like in previous more games we’ve not converted those chances and we know that so we worked on that and we talked about it as a team as in not playing as individuals but as a collective and we’re getting better with that week by week and even today we thought in the changing room because we believed we could’ve scored more and being that ruthless team that doesn’t stop hitting the back of the net.”


To finish the interview DJ looked forward to our upcoming away games and whether today’s performance was something to build on saying “Yeah definitely as we’re very motivated as a team right now, we want to push on and we don’t want to drop points anywhere and we want to get three points every week and perform to the level we want to and not drop to a level where we’re not putting two halfs together every single game and give ourselves the best chance.”

Match Info: Litherland REMYCA (H), Sat 1st Mar, 3pm KO

After seven successive wins, we’re determined to turn the tables on a team who stunned us on the road two months ago. We did it to West Didsbury and Chorlton and to Lower Breck, and now it’s REMYCA’s turn.


Another week without a midweek game has given us good preparation time and the lads will be chomping at the bit to get out in front of the Gigg Lane faithful and set the record straight but this doesn’t mean we will be taking our opponents lightly as we very well know, there are no easy games or walkovers in the North West Counties Premier League.


Our game this weekend is dedicated to Her Game Too. Founded in 2021 Her Game Too is an award-winning campaign tackling sexism in sport, including football, rugby, cricket and ice hockey.

Find out more about the amazing work that they do here

Grab a selfie with the Her Game Too picture frame and tag them on socials using #HerGameToo.

Shakers fans, get down to Gigg Lane and show them and REMY what we can do. Come on you Shakers!!!

In Opposition – Litherland REMYCA

Our 21-game unbeaten run had already been ended by Lower Breck when we faced Litherland in dreadful conditions back in early December.

It was the second of three successive away matches, and we’d won at Burscough four days earlier. So beating us 3-1 at the Litherland Sports Park gave REMY a massive boost. They had a good game plan and stuck to it. 


The Liverpool outfit are currently 19th in the league with 41 points from 37 matches – well clear of the relegation places, but below where they would wish to be. They come into this game boosted by last weekend’s 4-1 home win against Charnock Richard – only their second three-pointer in six matches.

Dedicated Fixture: #HerGameToo

This weekend our fixtures will celebrate women in football, and in sport in general, as we endorse the ‘Her Game Too‘ message.

The club is affiliated with the #HerGameToo movement, an organisation founded in May 2021 with the aim of raising awareness and educating others on the importance of inclusivity and diversity in sports.

We are proud to be one of hundreds of clubs, in both the professional and semi-professional/grassroots settings, to be affiliated in the UK.

Whilst starting within football, and by a group of female football fans spread across the UK, HerGameToo has resonated significantly across the sporting landscape, with like-minded initiatives now set up covering cricket, rugby, ice hockey and gaming, as well as branches in Wales & France. The start of the campaign highlighted the inequality felt, particularly by women, in the stands at football grounds across the country. But this is not limited to football supporters on the terraces, we want to see the same acceptance and inclusion on the pitch and behind the scenes.

We’d like to give a special mention to our Bury FC HGT ambassadors: Samantha Harman, Kirsty Green, Nicola Parker, Steph Jackson, Cath Kenyon and Amy Thomas.



Club #HerGameToo Ambassador, Sam Harman
On Saturday, we will welcome our women’s first team as well as our youngest female players, aged just 4-7, who attend our Bury Ballers sessions at Gigg Lane on Monday evenings. The latter have recently played their first ever match in a Bury shirt; the start of a long and fruitful journey we hope and the former, now in their second year in the North West Women’s Regional League, are currently in very good form.

They started the season brightly with wins over Tranmere Rovers and Fleetwood Town but several long-term injuries halted their progress and a difficult run before Christmas has now been turned around. Unbeaten in the last 6 matches, with a notable win and draw against the second and third placed teams in the league, as well as good cup runs with a dominating 5-0 result in the league cup against local rivals Radcliffe, puts us in a good place for the business end of the season.

They have also reached the semi-final of the Manchester County Cup and will meet Hyde FC, to hopefully win a place in the final for the first ever time.


Alongside these teams, we proudly have another 350 or so women and girls who regularly represent the club. Our under 9s, under 16s and under 18s in the youth section and we have no less than 11 other adult female teams.

Additional initiatives introduced more recently are walking football for those over 40 and Squad Girls’, an FA supported programme to get more teenage girls playing football.

These opportunities span from toddlers to retirees, and nothing makes me prouder than seeing so many females kicking a ball on the pitch at Gigg Lane. As a club we really are advocates who proudly demonstrate that it really is HER GAME TOO.

Speaking ahead of the weekend, our HerGameToo ambassador Sam Harman said: “There is now a huge difference, in attitude towards women participating and watching in football.


“More women are now watching and playing football at Bury we want to provide a safe environment for them to do so it’s great to see so many females involved.


“Also having so many female teams is huge for us and that’s every female that plays for us from the first team down to those women who do walking football it’s so inspiring to see so many females playing at Gigg Lane.”

If you hear or are subjected to any sort of sexist abuse or sexism, please report it straight away to the club and Her Game Too; please take this seriously and don’t suffer in silence. The club, our ambassador Sam (pictured above) and Her Game Too take all complaints and discrimination seriously.



As always, keep across the latest from the club on the website, X / Twitter & Facebook.
