Match Info: Barnoldswick Town (A), Sat 7th Oct, 3pm KO
They love a debut goal the Jepsons.
It was the opening game of the 96/97 season when Stan Ternant’s new signing Ronnie Jepson scored in a home draw against Brentford. This past Tuesday, over 27 years since that one all draw, Ronnies son Oli Jepson scored a peach of a header in front of the home fans on his Shakers Debut.
Oli wasn’t the only one to find the back of the net with Benito Lowe bagging a brace (Anyone else been singing that song ever since?) and Connor Comber finding the top bins from twenty yards out, rounding off a 4 – 2 win and phenomenal second half display from Dave McNabbs men in white.
You can watch the highlights from this game below.
With teams around us either stumbling or not playing The Shakers find ourselves at the top of the league as we approach the weekend and coming into a vein of form having won in four of our last five games.
With that in mind we travel to Barnoldswick this coming Saturday to take on another in form team at the Silent Night Stadium. All the information you will require for your trip to Barlick is available below.
In Opposition – Barnoldswick Town
Formed in 1972 and named Barnoldswick United(1972) – so called due to being canny Yorkshiremen- had there been a previous club named Barnoldswick United and they had outstanding debts the new club would have been liable for them.
The field started out as a grazing meadow for cattle, after a lot of hard work, it is now the pitch we play on. The club had 2 teams playing in the Craven & District Football League, in the early 1990’s we joined the East Lancashire Football League again with 2 teams.
In the late 1990’s we had 3 teams our 1st & 2nd team teams joined The West Lancashire Football League, our 3rds staying in The East Lancashire League.
The 2003/2004 season brought the amalgamation of Barnoldswick United (1972), Barnoldswick Park Rovers and Salterforth Juniors and we changed our name to Barnoldswick Town Football Club.
It has always been in the club’s constitution to get our ground up to the minimum standards of The North West Counties Football League and the 2009/2010 season saw us accepted into The North West Counties Football League.
Alongside our main pitch we have a floodlit training pitch. Our club house can hold up to 100 people and be hired out for functions. Our main sponsor is Silentnight Beds Ltd and the ground is named The Silentnight Stadium.
In 2009/2010 our first season in The NWCFL saw us finish runners up in Division 1 and finalists in the prestigious West Riding County Cup beating Guiseley who won promotion to the Conference North along the way. It was an interesting season as we only expected to hold our own and try to make sure we didn’t end up at the bottom of the league.
Following on from our success in the 2009/2010 season we went from just looking to avoid relegation in the Premier Division 2010/2011 to astound ourselves by finishing a creditable 7th in the league, only suspensions and injuries we feel robbed us of a top three spot.
In March 2012 we achieved The FA Grade E, enabling the club to enter The Evo-Stik League when finishing in a promotion position.
The 2012/2013 season saw us finish 9th in the Premier Division and reaching a round further in The FA Vase. Our Reserves finishing 4th in their respective league, with players being selected for the first team squad showing we have strength and depth in the club.
The 2013/14 season was a little bit traumatic for the club, players leaving or not being available, unrest in the dressing room which led to poor performances on the field.
In June of 2014 we achieved Charter Standard Development Club at both Senior and Junior level, which was an excellent achievement by both Senior & Junior Committees. The season had ended on a knife edge, if results on the last day of the season had gone a different way we would have been relegated
For the 2017/2018 Barnoldswick Town have one team in the Hallmark Security League and one team in The Lancashire Football League Western Division (Galaxy League).
The Junior section has 21 teams in The East Lancashire League from U7’s -U18’s, plus one U12’s girls team playing in The West Riding League. They also have a Tiny Town Junior Academy for 4 – 6 year olds.

Women’s FA Cup tie to take place at Gigg Lane
After last weekend’s FA Cup tie was called off against Radcliffe Women at Unsworth Cricket Club, we can confirm the rearranged tie will take place at Gigg Lane this Sunday (8th October). 2pm kick-off.
Entry will be £3 for adults and £1 for concessions, fans will be seated in the Main Stand.
Turnstiles will be open from 1pm and it will be pay on the day only, no pre-sale tickets will be available.
Manager Jason Jarrett told us, “We are really looking forward to welcoming Radcliffe in this FA Cup game and even more so now that it will be played at Gigg Lane. This is a massive opportunity for both teams to play in the oldest cup competition in the World and to showcase their abilities to a wider audience on a bigger stage.
“After a positive pre-season, we’ve had a challenging start to the league campaign. As a coaching team, we have been trying to challenge the girls with new ideas and formations to improve us collectively and individually but this takes time and it resulted in us having a tough start to the season but we also know that we deserved to take much more from most of the games and have only narrowly missed out on points against teams like Tranmere Rovers, Blackburn Community and West Didsbury. Playing on a bigger pitch will hopefully suit our style of play and I’m sure the professional surroundings of Gigg Lane will inspire our girls to play to the best of their abilities.
“In our last performance, a confident and dominant 4-1 league win over Blackpool, we started to show what we are capable of and we will be looking to build on that result this weekend, plus with a couple of new additions over the next few weeks we believe we are heading in the right direction.”
Casey Lynchey, head of women’s football at Bury FC added, “We would like to thank everyone involved in getting this game played at Gigg Lane this weekend. Both teams were disappointed not to play last week and will be looking forward to the prospect of facing National League opposition, in the next round, whilst also showing what a vast array of talented female footballers we have in the borough. I’m sure this will be a really entertaining match that will be played in the right spirit and we would urge people to come down and show their support for both teams.”
We’d like to see as many fans at Gigg Lane as possible on Sunday afternoon for what is a big FA Cup tie!
