Our women’s first team hosts Curzon Ashton FC Women this coming Sunday, where the Shakers will be looking to progress through to the third and final qualifying round of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup. Currently sitting second in the table, Curzon Ashton have had a strong start to the season. So far, the team has beaten Crewe Alexandra (0-2 and 3-1), West Didsbury and Chorlton (1-5), and FC United of Manchester (1-2). The team also drew 2-2 with West Didsbury and Chorlton, and faced only one loss to Mancunian Unity (8-0). Last season saw the Shakers beat Curzon Ashton 4-2 in January, before suffering a home defeat of 0-6 in April. Jason Jarrett, head coach of Bury FC Women, said: “It’s probably the highlight of the season… we’re going to have to regroup this week… the girls will be up for it and we go again next week.” With a reduced capacity of 200 people, head down to Gigg Lane early on Sunday to back the Shakers in this FA Cup game.

There is no respite for the Shakers and the games keep coming! We follow our cracking 3-0 Emirates FA Cup victory at Blyth Spartans on Saturday by taking on local rivals Ramsbottom United at the Harry Williams Stadium in Rammy on Tuesday evening (kick-off 7.45pm). At Blyth, second-half goals from Alex Cherera, Bebeto Gomes and Connor Pye saw off a team who have previously enjoyed many Cup successes and laid to rest a nearly 30-year-old ghost, by avenging Spartans two-nil victory at Gigg Lane in the same competition in 1995. Highlights and post-match review is available on our YouTube channel (links below) The victory extends our unbeaten run to 14 games in all competitions. We are currently sixth in the North-West Counties Premier Division, having won six out of nine matches and drawn three. The fact that we have played only nine games puts us at a short-term disadvantage compared with the clubs above us when it comes to the table – including The Rams, who are currently top with 26 points from 13 games. We played Ramsbottom twice last season in the final flurry of matches which saw us narrowly miss promotion. We won 2-1 at home and drew 0-0 away, having earlier knocked them out of the Macron Cup with a win on penalties at the Harry Williams Riverside Stadium in November. It’s an early season top of the table clash and a derby at that! Full information is available below. In Opposition – Ramsbottom United Last season, the Rams finished 18th in the table, with 50 points from 46 matches. But they come into the game against Bury not only top-of-the-league with eight wins already, but also fresh from a 6-0 win at Burscough on Saturday. Manager Steve Wilkes has seen a turnaround in fortunes at the club following that disappointing season last time out. They go into this first local derby with the Shakers in fine form and will be looking to come out on top in the league for the first time, after a defeat and draw last season. Oumar Camara and Luke Sephton look to be the ones to watch, both with six-goals each so far this term. As well as Saturday’s heavy scoreline at Burscough, they have also dispatched the same team 4-0 earlier in the season, as well as defeating early pace-setters, FC St Helens and more recently, Padiham at the Ruby Civil Arena. We head to the Harry Williams Riverside Stadium named after their owner, Harry Williams, who was on the committee which set up the club in 1966. They started life in the Bury Amateur League with Harry as manager – a position he held for 19 years. They later played in the Bolton Combination and the Manchester League before becoming a part-time professional club in the North-West Counties League in 1996. Progression through into the Northern Premier League followed under the tutelage of joint-managers Bernard Morley and Anthony Johnson from 2009, something that Chris Wilcock continued when in position from 2017 with chances to progress further slipping through the fingers in sometimes unfortunate circumstances. Wilcock left for rivals at the time, Workington Town, in 2021 and the club was then relegated back into the NWCFL for the start of the 2023-24 season.

We’d like to place on record our thanks to Macauley Wilson, who has departed the club today by mutual consent. Macauley joined us from Bamber Bridge in the summer, with a wealth of experience. He made nine competitive appearances for the club, scoring once against AFC Liverpool. Living in the Blackpool area, he was travelling a distance to commute for training & matches and has car shared with fellow players who live in the area but given recent injuries to those players, it’s found Macauley in a difficult position to get to training and following discussions with Dave McNabb this week he has decided to depart Gigg Lane. Macauley had the following message for The Shakers fans. We would like to wish Macca all the best in the future. #BuryFC | #PartOfIt View the full article

Bring it on! That’s the spirit in the camp as the Shakers face the long journey to the North East tomorrow to face Blyth Spartans in the FA Cup. Yes, they’re a club with a great history and in a higher league. But we have already seen off three teams from a higher division in earlier rounds and have nothing to fear. And another Yes – we struggled against Isle of Man last weekend. But that last kick draw with two of our players in the sin bin boosted morale on and off the pitch. And we go into this cup game on the back of a thoroughly professional 4-2 win at Glossop Town on Tuesday. The Glossop game proved the value of having a squad of players with strength in depth. Three changes enabled some to be rested and added fresh legs to a group of players who’d had a tough weekend. In Opposition – Blyth Spartans Despite a stunning history dating back to 1889, the Northumberland coastal town team are struggling in the Northern Premier League. They have won only one and drawn two of their eight games, and currently lie second to bottom. Getting through to this round of the cup was a struggle after they went one down in their Wednesday night home replay against Yorkshire amateur side Campion AFC. Blyth equalised in the second half, but the game went into extra time even after the Bradford team’s goalkeeper was shown a red card. They finally ran out 3-1 winners. The 1-1 draw in Bradford last Saturday was David Stockdale’s first match as interim manager. Afterwards, he said: “The main thing for me was the character that came out of it…Nobody is going to say it was a great performance, but it was a good performance in terms of character and determination, which is what I asked of them.” Stockdale has since been installed as permanent first team manager.

We’d like to provide an update on our Legends Wall. First of all, we’d like to thank all fans who sponsored a player from down the years. We’re currently working with our Heritage Committee to create the 15 history panels that will be interjected into the player panels, matching the relevant players to the correct era. Once designed we will publish each history panel and open these up for sponsorship. We’re hoping to launch the Legends Wall at our first home game in October.

Dave McNabb’s 50th game in charge of the Shakers came with late drama at the weekend, with a 1-1 draw away at FC Isle of Man. Ben Hockenhull equalised in the sixth minute of stoppage time, after Sean Doyle opened the scoring for the Ravens 11 minutes into the second half. The fans were in fine voice in the Manx’s capital, after hundreds made the trip across the Irish Sea for the second time this calendar year. Luckily with no delays this time! You can watch Dave McNabb’s post match interview following that last gasp point at the Douglas Bowl below. It’s the second away game of four in this run of fixtures. We head to Blyth at the weekend and then Ramsbottom, but focus for now is 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. Last season they finished 21st in the table – won 11, drawn 10, lost 25. Both Bury & Glossop won their respective league home game last season.

We head into the fixture on a run of 11 unbeaten matches (as we did going into this fixture last year) and picked up a win at home to South Liverpool on Tuesday night. Following Tuesday’s win, we caught up with Debutant Ben Hockenhull, Man of the Match Bryan Ly and goalkeeper coach Sam Ashton. Opponents – FC Isle of Man FC Isle of Man was founded in 2020 and is a community-based football club which represents the island as a whole. The Ravens were officially accepted into the English non-league pyramid for the 2020/21 season. However, due to Covid restrictions and border controls into the island, the club were temporarily suspended from the league as it was not possible to fulfil all their fixtures by 31st May 2021, as required by the English FA. Subsequently the season as a whole was eventually suspended due to further Covid outbreaks in early 2021 and the 2021/22 season became their first in the non-league system. Despite going top of the division temporarily in February after a dramatic 4-3 victory over eventual league champions West Didsbury, the Ravens ultimately finished second in the league but were promoted at the first attempt after defeating New Mills in the play-off final in front of more than 3,000 spectators at the Bowl. Current manager, Paul Jones, stepped in to take the top job permenantly in February 2023 after a period as interim manager. The club’s first manager Chris Bass left in the November before, following a difficult start to life in Step 5. Their first season in the Premier Division in 2022-23 however ended in consolidation, with a 13th place finish after a strong end to the season. The Ravens go into the weekend in 12th place in the league, with three wins, two draws and four draws from their opening nine matches. The Ravens picked up a 3-1 win in their most recent fixture on the mainland against Prestwich Heys on Tuesday night.

Our women’s first team heads to Ellesmere Port Sports Village on Sunday, as we face Tranmere Rovers Women in our reverse fixture. The match comes following three consecutive home games at Gigg Lane. After a 5-1 loss against Mancunian Unity on 1st September, the Shakers will be looking to return to previous form following a four match unbeaten run. Tranmere currently sit ninth in the table, four below Bury’s fifth place. Out of four games played so far, Tranmere have experienced an unpredictable season, winning 1-0 against Salford City FC Lionesses, drawing 1-1 against Wythenshawe and losing 3-2 to the Shaker and 4-1 against Crewe Alexandra. Head over to Ellesmere Port to show your support for the Shakers – we hope to see you there!

A clinical second half showing by Mancunian Unity hands Bury their first defeat of the season. The first part of the game saw the two teams share even amounts of possession, with chances from outside of the box at either end being the only form of attempted goal scoring. Shortly after the 30-minute mark, Mitchell crossed the ball into the box from the left-hand side which hit the hand of Rachel Blythe, the referee then awarded Mancunian Unity a penalty for a handball. Payton stepped up to the spot kick and slotted it into the bottom right corner. Bury were quick to reply though, as just under 10 minutes later Natalie Ainsworth unleashed a 30-yard screamer which dipped over the keeper’s head and into the back of the net. The first half ended with a goal a piece for either side, and both teams having a relatively even number of chances. Rain started pouring down at the beginning of the second half as Unity started off very quickly with Payton doubling her tally, after a rebounded shot from Groves’ save in the 47th minute. The away side then began to dominate the game, coming very close to taking the lead with various shots and crosses from close range. They eventually found their edge as they scored 3 goals in 9 minutes. Their third was put away by Mitchell as she used some tricky footwork to create space in Bury’s box where she then lobbed Groves to make it 3-1. Two minutes later, Unity were causing havoc again as Bamber curled in an effort from outside of the box into the top right corner after a deflected throw landed at her feet. The final goal of the game was scored by Shaw in the 74th minute after Groves attempted to play out of the back, but unfortunately gave the ball away which left Shaw with an open net to make it 5-1. The match then began to fizzle out as it appeared as though Unity were comfortable with their lead, whilst Bury tightened up their defence to ensure that the deficit didn’t increase. The final whistle blew and Unity picked up all three points at Gigg Lane. Skipper Dannielle Bailey picked up back-to-back Player of The Match awards as she again showed great leadership and communication skills, even when the game looked bleak. An obviously disappointing result for the Shakers after showing great form at the start of the season.
