  1. Last weekend, the team were victorious with a 4-1 win over local rivals Rochdale to progress to the semi-finals of the Manchester FA Women’s Challenge Cup. This weekend, attention turns to Fleetwood Town Ladies. In our opponents’ last league fixture, they were also victorious 4-1 against Salford City FC, with mixed form throughout the season so far. They currently sit 7th place in the league table with 4 wins, 1 loss and 4 draws. The team look to maintain momentum following our progression in the Manchester FA Women’s Challenge Cup. The team sit 9th place in the league standings on 7 points, with a positive result seeing a further stretch made away from the bottom of the league. Bury have won 4 and drawn 1 in the last 5 matches in all competitions. Last season, both teams played each other in the league cup and the game was a draw after 90 minutes, with Bury losing out on penalties. This time around, the ladies look to get a result and produce a solid performance in the league to make up for last season’s upset. The game will kick off at 2pm, taking place at Kearsley Academy in Bolton due to a waterlogged pitch at Gigg Lane. Let’s hope the team can produce a solid performance and pick up another victory!

  6. Tonight’s game at Gigg Lane against Pilkington has been called off as the pitch is waterlogged. Persistent spells of rain throughout the day have put paid to the game, with the ground staff facing a battle to manage the amount of rain, on top of an already saturated playing surface, which left standing water in many areas. Tickets will be held over to the re-arranged game and we will be in touch once we know when that is. View the full article

  8. On Remembrance Sunday we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country, sovereign, families and loved ones in order that we may live our lives in freedom and safety. It is important for us all to reflect on the lives lost, the families and friends affected and those who were injured whilst serving their country. As a mark of respect today we take a moment to remember all those brave men and women who have lost their lives in many conflicts and wars around the world and in service to our country at home. We owe them so much in countless ways. Not only do we remember the armed services, the Army, Navy and RAF, but also the emergency services, Police, Fire and Rescue,and Ambulance Services and all those who work within the NHS and social care. We witnessed first hand the importance of those services in keeping us safe during the recent pandemic. We are a town with a proud history of association with the Lancashire Fusiliers and the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and we are proud tocontinue that tradition here at Gigg Lane. It is four years since we were last able to gather here and remember together but today we continue the tradition of trooping the colour with Lt. Colonel Mike McDonald, Sergeant Geoff Baines (Lancashire Fusiliers Bugler), Bob Barton (Lancashire Fusiliers Standard Bearer), Janice Lloyd (Royal British Legion Standard Bearer), Llea McGowan (Royal Regiment Fusiliers Standard Bearer), Kevin Rowe (Antrim Standard Bearer), Roy Counsell (BOBVA Standard Bearer), Jacko Pearce (RAF Standard Bearer). We also welcome as our guests tonight veterans from the Army Royal Regiment of Artillery, 1st Royal Horse Artillery, Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers, Royal Army Ordinance Corps, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, Royal British Legion and widows of serving personnel who have served our country. We also remember those within the Bury FC family who have passed away since we were last able to gather and remember in November 2018, named below. All those we have lost are missed by their fellow supporters, family and friends. Every one is a seat left empty, a scarf unworn, a missed click of the turnstile but they have all left a legacy to this club that will be enjoyed by future generations of Shakers. Order of Service At approx 19.30 players and officials to assemble in the tunnel, ahead of service. Ceremony party to enter pitch and assemble in centre circle. Lieutenant Colonel Retired Mike McDonald will carry on the match ball, and Mr Steve Fitt the wreath. Mr Steve Fitt will organise the Standard Bearers. Mr Brian White, Mr Maurice Dickson and Mrs Cara Taylor will announce the Ceremony party onto the pitch. “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old, age shall not weary them, nor years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.” At this time, the names of the Bury FC family who have passed away will be displayed on the scoreboard. The Last Post will be played by Sergeant Geoff Baines. Standards lowered. The Reveille will then be played and standards raised. Mr Maurice Dickson will then say, “When you go home, tell them of us and say for your tomorrows we gave our today.” The attendees will then leave the pitch Losses in the Bury FC Family since 2018 Jimmy Allen Colin Atkinson John Atkinson Ken Ash Phil Astley Brian Bancroft Brian Barlow Bob Bell Colin Bell Derek Bentley Alice Berry Geoff Bernstein Anthony Boardman Eric Brand Stuart Brand Cliffe Broome Neville Brooks Peter Brown Horace Brown Eric Brand Margret Burke Tom Burke Paul Carter Mark Crossley Alan Caulderbank Bill Caulder Geoffry Cawte Eddie Colquhoun Fred Cowburn Ellie Clegg Monica Cullen Donald Cunliffe Alex Dawson James Dean Matt Durnam Ann Eckersall Dave Evans Douglas Evans Arthur Evans Paul Evans Martin Farnworth Mandy Freeman Martyn Forrest Michael Garrett Bob Gerrard Dave Giffard Malcolm Gray Alan Green Tom Harkinson Henry Hayes Will Hayhurst Roger Heywood Margaret Holden Brian Howcroft Paul Hince Derek Holt Edmond Howard Mick Hoyle Maria Hurst Kenny Hulme Preston Hulse Isla Hutton David Isherwood Lenny Johnrose John King Gerald Lewis Jacqueline Melia Peter Melling Minty Macy Stefan Madej Miriam Makin Gill Mansley Paul McCormick Jack Metcalfe Derek Middleton Dave Morley Noel Nash Sandra Nugent Philip Pidluski Mike Pinder Holly Prince Stanley Reynolds Peter Rigby Johnny Robinson Jim Royds Mark Saunders Ian Scholes Colin Slater MBE Arthur Smith BEM Barry Simpson Raymond Smith John Stansfield John Stembridge David Swain Peter Swann Steve Taylor Ella Warburton Richard Warburton Stan Warburton Hilary Walton Jane Weedon Harry Wilkinson Tom White Dave Wylie #ShakersTogether | #BuryFC | #LestWeForget View the full article
  9. We are delighted to announce that Harry Wright has been named NWCFL Premier Division Goalkeeper of the Month for October 2023. Harry made his debut for the club last month, in a 4-0 victory against Wythenshawe Town. The month continued, with a 1-0 victory against Squires Gate and a second consecutive clean sheet for the son of former Manchester City & Ipswich goalkeeper Richard Wright. October concluded with a third consecutive clean sheet and a penalty save for Wright in a tough away test at West Didsbury & Chorlton. His penalty save at 1-0 to Bury (see below), allowed the side to go on and win 3-0 and there for complete the month in style. In the six league games played in October, the Shakers have kept four clean sheets, three of which were kept by Wright. Our first league recognised award of the season, well done Harry! #ShakersTogether | #BuryFC | #PartofIt View the full article
  10. We return to Gigg Lane for the only home game of the month tomorrow night, and we will be conducting our remembrance service ahead of kick-off so please arrive early. Full details on the night’s service, can be found here. We maintained our position at the top of the table following our exploits in the FA Vase over the weekend. Wins for both Wythenshawe and Kendal closed the gap on us below, which means we will need to be back at it following a lacklustre performance in the north-east against Whickham on Saturday. Catch the highlights here and the manager’s thoughts below After a strong start to life in the NWCFL Premier Division following promotion from the Division One North as champions last term, Pilkington have struggled in recent weeks with four losses in five outings. A 4-3 win at the Acroframe Stadium against Skelmersdale being the only victory in that spell, Pilks were defeated by FC Isle of Man in Douglas over the weekend by a single Frank Jones goal. They sit 13th going into the game, on 28 points from 20 games. The full match information pack can be found below. In Opposition – Pilkington The club was established in 1938 and joined both the Liverpool Business Houses League and the St Helens Combination. The name originates from the Pilkington glass factory in St. Helens. They later became members of the Liverpool County Football Combination. In 1980 the club joined Division Two of the Mid-Cheshire League. When Division Two was abolished in 1983, they became part of the league’s single division. The club finished bottom of the league in 1986–87. A new second division of the Mid-Cheshire League was formed in 1987 and Pilkington became members of Division One. However, after finishing bottom of the league in 1988–89 and 1990–91, they were relegated to Division Two. The club were Division Two runners-up in 1997–98, resulting in promotion to Division One. They finished bottom of the division in 1999–2000, but were reprieved from relegation after another team left the league. The following season saw the club win the Liverpool Junior Cup, a trophy the club won again in 2004–05. In 2010–11 Pilkington were runners-up in Division One, missing out on the title on goal difference. The division was renamed the Premier Division in 2014. The club finished bottom of the Premier Division in 2014–15 and were relegated to Division One. They won the league’s Presidents Cup in 2016–17, and after finishing as runners-up in Division One in 2017–18, the club were promoted back to the Premier Division. The following season saw them win the Premier Division title, resulting in promotion to Division One North of the North West Counties League. They were Division One North champions in 2022–23 and were promoted to the Premier Division. The club originally played at Crossley Road, before moving to Ruskin Drive at the beginning of the 1948–49 season. Their home ever since, the complex was redeveloped from 2016 to incorporate an astro-turf pitch amongst additional upgraded facilites to cater for all sports including space for other local football clubs, as well as rugby, cricket and tennis. The ground is shared with other local side, St Helen’s Town AFC. Tickets & Admission General sale tickets are available online HERE, which includes hospitality tickets in the Main Stand.

  13. Despite the disappointing postponement of our last fixture, this weekend the team attention turns to the FA Women’s Challenge cup quarter-final. Bury’s last fixture in this competition against Manchester Laces was awarded as a home walkover. Rochdale gained their place in the quarter final by beating Mancunian Unity Reserves 7-0 last month. As for form coming into the game, our last fixture was an emphatic 5-1 win against Blackpool FC in the North West Women’s Regional League, with goals coming from Chloe Greenall, Sinead Nugent, Shelby Wolstencroft and Isobel Dooley. The team look to maintain this momentum and progress further in the Cup. The team look to get back-to-back wins in all competitions and make it through to the semi-final of the FA Womens Challenge cup. Our opposition play in GMWFL, after reforming this season. The Fixture is to be played on Sunday 12th November at 2.30pm, at Manchester College (Openshaw Campus).

  15. Following a bye through the earlier rounds due to progression last season we finally enter this seasons FA Vase at the Second Round Proper. And what a way to enter with a 300 mile round trip up North to face Whickham FC. Coach tickets for this Saturday’s game can be purchased here. WARRINGTON RYLANDS FA VASE 2021 WINNERS pic.twitter.com/JJI4xZksdI — Warrington Rylands FC (@RylandsFC) May 22, 2021 Our Northern League based opponents currently sit 15th in their table after winning 4, drawing 1 and losing 5 of their opening fixtures. Dave McNabb, who is no stranger to FA Vase success after winning it at Wembley with Warrington Rylands back in 2021, won’t be taking the trip lightly as he knows how tough these trips to the North East can be. In his post match interview following this weekends fantastic win on the road at Kendal, Dave said the following about the upcoming tie. You can see the full interview on YouTube here. Speaking of the weekends match against Kendal, an Andy Scarisbrick brace and yet another Harry Wright clean sheet, sealed the win as we controlled the game for the majority of the ninety as we start to look like a real force to be reckoned with. Kendal heaped praise on our fans and club for our excellent behaviour in what turned out to be a great day all round. Images courtesy of Phil Hill In Opposition – Whickham FC Whickham Football Club is a proud member of the Ebac Northern League, a status they have held since 1944.

  19. Dave McNabb and his team will look to make it four wins on the bounce this weekend as we travel North into Cumbria to take on Kendal Town in a top-of-the-table clash. This will be our second meeting with The Mintcakes this season and The Shakers will be looking to avenge a 3-2 loss in the reverse fixture back in August, a game in which Andy Briggs bagged a brace. Briggs was back among the goals last weekend as were Connor Comber and Anton Smith as we put a good West Didsbury & Chorlton side to the sword in a match fraught with action including sin bins, red cards and penalties (both saved and scored) You can see the highlights of that game below. Following this week’s announcement of the points deduction, as well as the opening game of the season against Glossop is to be voided and replayed, it is now more important that ever that you get behind YOUR club. Be the twelfth man and roar your Shakers on. Images courtesy of Jake Horrocks In Opposition – Kendal Town The present Club was originally formed as Netherfield AFC in 1919 when employees at K Shoes Netherfield factory were encouraged to form a football team. They were provided with land near the factory at Parkside and began to compete in local leagues. In 1925 the team achieved its first notable success winning the Westmorland County Cup. The club then played in the local leagues like the North Lancashire and West Lancashire league before the outbreak of the Second World War. In 1945 the club joined the semi-professional ranks becoming a member of the Lancashire Combination League. Two Championship Titles came their way in 1949 and 1965. FA Cup success was quickly becoming a tradition having five appearances in eight years in the 1st Round of the FA Cup with the club’s best run in 1963/64 reaching the 2nd Round against Football League side Chesterfield. In 1968 the club accepted the challenge of becoming a founder member of the Northern Premier League. However, the 1970s were not kind to Netherfield as they languished around the bottom of the Northern Premier League for most of the decade. The Club moved in the North West Counties Division One for four seasons before returning to the Northern Premier League in 1987 for the next 10 years the club’s highest position was fifth in the 1993/94 season. The club changed its name to Netherfield Kendal in 1998 and changed its name to Kendal Town in 2000. In the 2004/05 season, the club lost in the NPL Division One play-off final against AFC Telford. The season after was one of the most successful in the club’s history beating Gresley Rovers in the playoff final and the first ever promotion in the club’s history to the NPL Premier. The club’s best two seasons in the NPL Premier where they secured two playoff places losing both semi-finals each time. In the 2012/13 season the club where relegated back to the NPL Division 1. For the next 10 seasons, the club’s average position was 16th. In that time the club could only manage its highest position of 10th in the 2013/14 season. The 2021/22 season was one of the worst in the club’s history. The club finished on 12 points and finished 19th and were relegated to the North West Counties Premier. 2022-23 saw the club return to the North West Counties league for the first time in over 30 years, the season was a season for the club to Stabilize finishing 12th, the highlight was taking over 100 fans to the Isle of Man and also reaching the Macron Cup semi-final.

  21. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in our appeal to overturn the three point deduction, and £100 fine, for fielding an ineligible player at the start of the season. Glossop North End have also launched their own appeal and as a result we will replay the fixture at a future date to be confirmed, in addition to the three point deduction. The rules do not allow the three points we lose to be awarded to them, so this is their only opportunity to benefit from the situation. We do not intend to charge season ticket holders to attend this rearranged fixture, subject to league approval. As previously stated we are disappointed at the outcome, but keen to move on and continue our promotion push. #ShakersTogether | #BuryFC | #PartofIt View the full article
