We are thrilled to announce the signing of talented left-sided defender Reece Kendall who recently left Matlock Town, subject to FA & league approval. The 25-year-old re-joined Matlock for a second spell in September last year for an undisclosed fee having previously played for the club between 2019 and 2021. His career began at Brighouse Town and he has also represented Spennymoor Town and Guiseley. Reece was named in the NPL Premier Division Team of the Season last year during his time at Guiseley and has also earned recognition at international level, receiving a call-up to the England C squad. Speaking about his move, he said: “I’m really happy to be coming into such a big club, the lads are top draw and the facilities are unbelievable. Just can’t wait to get involved and get started now a must-win every week is the minimum from that group of lads and hopefully, I can help in any way possible.” We can’t wait to see Reece in action for the Shakers!

The Shakers go into our local derby at Prestwich after a great run of results – including a 5-2 home win against Heys on December 28th. Since then we have established a clear lead at the top of the league and turned in some excellent performances – including Tuesday night’s 3-2 win against Isle of Man. But the game had more drama than many a TV crime series. The Manx men took an early lead and levelled the scores at 2-2 four minutes from full-time. But our winner in the fourth minute of added time was a goal of stunning quality. Bryan Ly’s pin-point accurate corner found the head of in-form striker Djavan Pedro, and the ground erupted. But there’s no room for complacency as we take on Heys. They’re fighting hard to avoid relegation. It’s a sell-out, so there’s scope for lots of noise. Up the Shakers!!! In Opposition – Prestwich Heys An up-and-down season for Heys has mostly been down. But some decent results in the last few weeks have lifted them off the bottom of the table. On Tuesday they won 2-1 at West Didsbury and Chorlton, who beat us 4-0 on the same ground in our first game in 2025. Four wins in their last six games have lifted Heys into sixth position in the form table – in contrast to their 22nd place in the league with 24 points out of a possible 105.

We welcome FC Isle of Man to Gigg Lane on Tuesday night, after the original fixture was postponed from January 11th as a result of the big freeze. We narrowly escaped defeat on the island back in September, but we come into the return fixture in great form. Successive victories against Lower Breck at home and Barnoldswick Town and Stockport Town away have re-established our position as league leaders at the top of the table with 73 points from 34 games. A key factor in this is the stunning form of striker DJ Pedro – 20 goals in 18 appearances since he joined us, initially on loan, from Buxton. DJ’s success reflects the performances of the whole squad. Yes, we have had our moments – but the trajectory is clear. We’re more than aware that Ramsbottom are only one point behind us, followed closely by Lower Breck. And below them are no fewer than five other promotion hopefuls – including FC IoM. That’s why every point is crucial, so all you Shakers’ fans…down to Gigg and support the lads with plenty of raucous noise. Up the Shakers!!!! View the post match media from our weekend’s win at Stockport Town including interviews with Dave McNabb & Cam Fogerty below. In Opposition – FC Isle of Man The Ravens came into being only five years ago, with plans so impressive that they were accepted immediately into the NWCFL Division One South. Covid held them back for a year, but the league’s original decision was vindicated when they won promotion through the play-offs in their first season. They made a good start this term. They defend robustly and – as we saw in September – are usually skilled in the art of game management. But their results have not been so good in recent weeks. They’ve won only two of their last six matches – a run which continued with a 1-1 home draw against Irlam on Saturday. On the Day & In the Ground Our Matchday @ Gigg guide is available to read to find out everything you need to know going on in and around the ground. Starkies Bar Before kick-off: Starkies will be open at the normal time of 6pm for supporters to access from the Manchester Road End entrance before kick-off. This will be on a first-come, first-served basis up to capacity, which will be managed on the door.

After that great win at home to Lower Breck, we face a different kind of challenge – a team even newer to this league than we are, and packed with lively young players. Lower Breck were beating everybody in sight, but we beat them in some style. The first half was probably our best 45 minutes of the season so far. Yes, we gave them a window of opportunity by sitting back at 3-1. But we made it, and overall were the better team by some distance. The last six weeks have been tough for our players and coaches as a result of illness and injuries in the squad and new signings and departures. We had one really bad day in South Manchester, but overall we’ve proved ourselves more than worthy title contenders. We go to the Stockport Sports Village looking for a double – we beat them 2-1 at home in September – and with the memory of our performance last weekend still fresh in our minds. So, Shakers fans, hit the road. Be there! Be part of it! Be noisy! Up the Shakers!!! In Opposition – Stockport Town Town’s first season in the NWCFL Premier Division follows their promotion as Division One South runners-up. They’re doing well, sitting in 9th position and with a last six record of three wins, one draw and two defeats. In contrast to Shakers, they go into this game after a home defeat. On Monday evening, two second-half goals gave sixth-placed Irlam victory after Town had taken the lead in the 19th minute. This was disappointing for the club after their 2-1 win at South Liverpool last weekend, so they’ll very much want to bounce back. Admission & Tickets This fixture is ALL-TICKET.

We are delighted to announce the signing of defender Aiden Walker from Farsley Celtic. The 25-year-old who can play at both right back and centre back, started out at Barnsley before a move to Mansfield in 2019. Walker picked up non-league experience in loan spells at Leek Town and Grantham Town during his time in the East Midlands. In 2021, he joined NPL side Brighouse Town before a move to Guiseley in the summer of 2023, where he was a main stay in their defence playing 42 times in the league. He made the move up to the National League North this season with Farsley Celtic, where he has made eight appearances, including in Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Warrington Town. Speaking to buryfc.co.uk, Walker said: “‘I’m delighted to be here. It’s such a big club with great fans and I cannot wait to be playing in front of you all! “I know what it means to the fans to get the club back to where it belongs, so I’m hoping to come in and help keep clean sheets and push towards getting promotion in what is going to be a tough but exciting end to the season.” Welcome to Bury, Aiden!

Challenges don’t come much bigger than the one we face against the team who back in November ended our 21-match unbeaten run. Lower Breck are in good form, having won their last six matches, but they have to play Pilkington less than 48 hours prior to their trip to Gigg and our win last weekend as well as a strengthened squad send us into what we know will be a tough game brimming with confidence. The Shakers’ performance in the victory at Barnoldswick was excellent, especially in the second half. And the scoreline could have been even more impressive had it not been for Jack McGovern’s penalty heroics and a late consolation depriving us of a clean sheet. This first home game of 2025 marks a fresh start, with a stronger and hopefully more settled squad as we go into our last 14 games. The competition at the top of the league is hotting up. So…the call goes out again. Be there. Be part of it. Be loud. Up the Shakers!!! View the post match media from last weekend’s win at Barnoldswick including interviews with Dave McNabb, Gaz Peet & Louis Jeanne below. In Opposition – Lower Breck Lower Breck are currently fourth in the table, with 61 points from 30 games compared with our 67 from 32. So they, too, are well on target to achieve their goal of promotion. Their last six matches – every one a win – have yielded 18 goals, with only two against. The club came into being 14 years ago to provide a youth team for the Tuebrook area of Liverpool and plays at the Anfield Sports Community Centre. They removed the age barrier with the aim of becoming the top non-league club in Liverpool – a target reflected in the motto on their coat of arms: nulli secondus (second to none). Lower Breck joined the NWCFL in 2019 and were promoted to the Premier Division four years ago.
