    Match Info: Litherland REMYCA (H), Tue 3rd Oct, 7:45pm KO

    On a rainy afternoon in the Derbyshire hills, Dave McNabb’s charges fell to a late defeat courtesy of a headed 96th minute Glossop goal. Until the goal The Shakers had held on well after being reduced to ten men following a red card for Bury wing back Gaz Peet early into the second half.

    In a game that could’ve gone either way in the with both teams having plenty of chances there were some bright spots in defeat including a debut goal for new man Andy Scarisbrick and a solid debut for Charlie Doyle.

    We now move on to Tuesday night and as we look to set the record straight and return to winning ways against Merseyside’s Litherland Remyca.

    You can watch Dave McNabb’s post match interview following the Glossop game below.
        In Opposition – Litherland Remyca
    Litherland REMYCA FC began life in the Seaforth area of Liverpool as St Thomas F.C. (1959).

    Players were recruited mainly from Seaforth and Bootle, and the team later became known as Bootle C.L.B. (Church Lads Brigade).

    Links were formed with Bootle YMCA which provided a club base and facilities to train.

    In 1967, a local working-man’s club offered to finance the running of the club.

    One year later, REMYCA UTD F.C. came into being, the name deriving from connections with both REM Social Club and Bootle YMCA.

    The team, after successive championships and earning a reputation for playing attractive football, were accepted into the I Zingari League.

    The founder members of REMYCA Utd, Bill and Ken Edwards, acted as managers having recently given up their playing careers.

    The I Zingari Challenge Cup was claimed in the 1975/76 season as REMYCA Utd began to establish itself as a force within amateur football on Merseyside.

    The formation of a Premier League led to the club being invited to become inaugural members.

    This demanded improved playing facilities and the club left its spiritual home at Moss Lane, Litherland to move to Maghull High School.

    A former player, Steve Smith, became manager and began building a squad capable of competing with the best amateur sides in the region.

    REMYCA Utd became the I Zingari League Champions in the 1987/88 season and in 1991 became one of the few Merseyside Teams to win the all Lancashire FA Amateur Cup.

    The 1990’s was a significant period in the club’s history, and the most successful, as both Premier League and Cup doubles were achieved in seasons 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1995/96 followed by again winning the Challenge Cup in the 1998/99 season.

    This period of dominance and success resulted in REMYCA Utd seeking entry to the Liverpool County Combination League to test itself at a higher level again.

    REMYCA are now based at Litherland Sports Park. Our mid-long term aims are to work with local councils to identify a site and build a community facility for all sides under the REMYCA banner as well as the local area.

    In 2013, the Management Committee of REMYCA began exploring the potential to grow and develop the club. The aim is for a sustainable club – a community based model offering football opportunity with good coaching to all ages from seven years upwards.

    The first stage of the new development plan was to add Litherland to the club name so as to identify with the local area and enhance the community ethos of the club.

    A key appointment was Colin Begbie as head of youth development, who’s experience and network of football contacts has proven invaluable.

    The club then applied, and secured a league position worthy of promotion to the NWCFL in 2014.

    In their first season, the club finished 9th and reached the semi final of the Reusch Cup, only to be beaten by Atherton Colls.

    A first ever appearance in the LCFA Senior Cup saw the club beaten by Skelmersdale United. REMYCA went on to reach the semi final in three consecutive years after this defeat.

    In 2015, Phil Stafford was given the job as first team manager following a successful stint at Maghull.

    In his second season, he led the club to a thrilling battle for promotion, which culminated in defeat at the final hurdle – the playoff final.

    That game holds the attendance record in NWCFL history, with 1303 supporters flocking to LSP.

    In March 2016, the quarter final of the LCFA Senior Cup saw Everton travel to LSP and fall to a solid, containing REMYCA by a goal to nil.

    This game put the club on the map, and boosted their profile and reputation.

    Ultimately, at the end of that season, Stafford decided it was time to move on along with Andy Olsen, and, after a search for a new gaffer, Paul McNally was handed the task of leading REMYCA from the beginning of the 2017/18 season.

    McNally put his own stamp on the team, and under huge expectations, guided the club to its first ever promotion and the highest level of football in the history of Litherland REMYCA.

    Along the way, REMYCA made their first ever appearance in the FA Cup, beating AFC Liverpool 2-0 in a game live streamed across the BBC iPlayer.

    In a shock turn of events, McNally left the club by mutual consent at the end of 2017-18, and left the club manager-less for the second straight summer.

    James Olsen was chosen to be the man to take over in the summer of 2018 and lead the club in its first ever season in the NWCFL Premier Division, however departed midway through the season. Former manager Phil Stafford returned to guide the club to consolidation within the division. With Staffo’ having departed for a second time, former AFC Liverpool, Burscough and Bangor City Manager Derek Goulding was appointed in 2021 as the man to consolidate The Remy in the Premier Division for going forwards.

    PLEDGING OUR SUPPORT FOR THE PLAY SAFE WEEKEND 2023

    This weekend, English football at every level will unite to promote Play Safe – a national campaign to focus attention of the vital importance of safeguarding in our national game.

    Led by The Football Association, the Play Safe campaign is endorsed by the NSPCC and supported by every level of the game, including the Premier League, EFL, Barclays Women’s Super League and Barclays Women’s Championship, and right across the grassroots game.

    We are proud to be supporting Play Safe on our website and social media channels – and also by making an online Play Safe Pledge. Our pledge will see us promote PLAY SAFE on our website and social media channels.

    Of course, safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, so if you haven’t already, why not make your own Play Safe Pledge? We encourage you to do so.

    “Everybody should feel safe playing the sport we love.”

    This year’s Play Safe weekend has two main messages:

    • ‘Everyone, everywhere, every time’ should have an understanding of safeguarding in football.
    • Everyone should ‘watch, listen, talk and act’ if they have any safeguarding concerns.

    If you have a safeguarding concern, or would like some advice, the person to contact at Bury Football club is welfare officer Tania Jackson.

    Email: safeguarding@buryfc.co.uk.

    Together, let’s create an ever-safer culture across the game we all love.

    Match Info: Glossop North End (A), Sat 30th Sept, 3pm KO

    The Dave McNabb era began at Gigg Lane this week as the former Warrington and Bootle manager became The Shakers 44th permanent manager. In Dave’s first game in charge on Tuesday night we took on FC Isle of Man and extended our run of wins to three games.

    The team put on a resolute performance with the backline keeping second clean sheet in three games and Gaz Peet finding the back of the net for the first time this season.

    The fans were in fine voice and 2909 of the Shakers faithful gave our new Management team a fantastic welcome, still singing 20 minutes after the final whistle whilst the lads signed autographs and took players with the fans in The South Stand.

    You can watch the highlights from the game and Dave McNabb’s first post match interview below.

    Attention now turns to our first of two trips in a fortnight (following the Frank Hannah Premier cup draw) to The Asgard Engineering Stadium to take on Glossop North End.

    Full information is available below.
          In Opposition – Glossop North End
    The club was founded in 1886 and joined the North Cheshire League four years later. Glossop spent two seasons each in The Combination and the Midland League, before moving to North Road and being elected into the Football League Second Division in 1898. Having been promoted in the 1898–99 season, they spent one season in the First Division. During this period the club was bankrolled by Sir Samuel Hill-Wood, who was later to become chairman of Arsenal. The club retains some connections with Arsenal. Glossop were relegated in 1900 and spent the next fifteen seasons in the Second Division, before exiting the Football League during World War I.

    Post-war, they spent 1920 to 1957 in the Manchester League, being crowned champions in 1927–28. They moved from the Lancashire Combination back to the Manchester League in 1966, and then spent four seasons in the Cheshire County League from 1978 before the North West Counties was formed in 1982 in which Glossop were founder members, they had a 33-year stint in the league before winning the Premier Division title at the end of the 2014–15 campaign. They were beaten finalists in the FA Vase in 2009 and 2015.

    In April 2023 GNE were relegated from Step 4 after a period of eight years, ending manager Stuart
    Mellish’s two-year stint at the helm. Michael Worthington was appointed as manager in the summer of 2023 as the Hillmen head into their first season back in the NWCFL.
