-: Who doesn’t love a 96th minute winner? Saturday’s game was certainly one chocked full of action, goals and two brilliant sets of supporters. Andy Welsh and his team ensured that all three points courtesy of a fantastic finish from returning Striker Benito Lowe, an Andy Briggs brace and a first goal of the season for tricky winger Abs Obasoto. You can watch the highlights of this exciting game below. With games coming thick and fast we look to make it three wins out of four against newly promoted Wythenshawe FC on the road at The Hollyhedge Park Community stadium. Information including a link to buy tickers for this ALL TICKET GAME can be found below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNn9_BlWtAk In Opposition – Wythenshawe FC Originally founded in 1946 as Wythenshawe Lads’ Club by Reg Gauntlet, a local window cleaner, gathering together a group of kids kicking a ball about in the street, started playing friendlies, held meetings with parents in a wooden hut in the grounds of Cringlewood House, Yew Tree Lane. They then set up home by hiring a room in an old farmhouse in Daine Avenue, Rackhouse. A couple of years later Noel Timpson, of Timpson Shoes, purchased two ex-WW2 Nissen huts and sited them within the farmhouse grounds. Promotion was gained in May 2018 when the FA allocated the first team to a restructured North West Counties Football League. This meant that the club was competing at semi-professional level for the first time, they finished a creditable fourth in the First Division South in their first season. In 2019 the first team returned to the national stage when they re-entered the FA Vase. The following season 2020-21, they made their debut in the FA Cup, in the Extra Preliminary Round beat Shelley at home 4-2 in a memorable penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in 90 mins, exited in the Preliminary Round v. Trafford at home 1-4. The first full season, 2021-22, following two coronavirus pandemic hit seasons, they reached the NWCFL Division One South play-offs, losing to FC Isle of Man in the semi-finals. They improved on that the following season, 2022-23, arguably the clubs most successful, with a first team double, winning automatic promotion to the Premier Division by becoming champions, their first ever semi-professional title, then adding the First Division Champions Cup, reserves won the Altrincham District FA Senior Cup, Sunday team champions of the Stockport Sunday League, Division Two. Junior section won a club record 13 trophies. Sacha Lord, co-founder of the music festival Parklife and The Warehouse Project, in April 2023 joined the Board and installed as Chair in June. Barratt, appointed as Chair in 2019, remained on the Board as Vice-Chair. In June 2023, the club changed its name, dropping ‘Amateurs’, becoming Wythenshawe Football Club, with the playing name Wythenshawe.

In a weekend with a quick fire double header your Shakers took on a strong Cheadle Town side in front of the Gigg Lane faithful on Saturday and faced a second trip to play an impressive Charnock in a fortnight. Our Shakers picked up 4 out of an available 6 points and we currently sit in 3rd spot in the table behind league leaders Kendal and second placed Chadderton. All eyes are now on this coming weekend’s game and we would like to see as many of you Shakers in attendance as we return to Gigg Lane this coming Saturday and welcome West Didsbury & Chorlton. As we look ahead to the upcoming game, we can be excited by the reinforcements now returning to the squad such as Matty Williams, Curtis Obeng, Jimmy Moore and Benito Lowe which we all hope will give Andy and his management team more choice in both attack and defence as we look to kick on. You can catch Monday’s highlights below: Andy Welsh, gave us his thoughts following two games in quick succession over the bank holiday weekend: Our visitors currently sit 8th in the table following a run of games which has seen them win 3, draw 1 and lose 2 of their last six games. Get all your pre-match information on the opposition, tickets, programmes, access to Gigg Lane, and much more in our details below. In Opposition – West Didsbury & Chorlton West Didsbury and Chorlton AFC was founded as Christ Church A.F.C. in 1908, over 100 years ago, by Mr. R F Hartley, a Sunday School Superintendent at the church on Princess Parkway, West Didsbury. West played friendlies at first and then in the Manchester Alliance League until the First World War. After the War the club joined the Lancashire and Cheshire League for the 1920/21 season and had to change its name to West Didsbury AFC, as that League did not permit a name suggesting association with any other body. The club was placed in Divisions 1 and A, and stayed in the top flight for 25 seasons. The first honours were double runners up in Div 1 and Rhodes Cup in 1922/23, and the club remained in the L+C League until 2006, winning many honours and providing 4 League Presidents along the way. The home ground from before 1914 until the mid 1980’s was Christie Playing Fields, and then the owners, Manchester and Salford Playing Fields Society, gave the club notice to quit having decided to sell off the land for commercial development – now ironically called ‘Christie Fields’ office park. After several years’ nomadic existence the club acquired the redundant and overgrown Recreation Ground at Brookburn Road in Chorlton in 1996, and made plans to restore the ground and develop a vision for a community club. This was down to the hard work of a core of players and Committee who refused to let the club fold. New changing rooms and clubhouse facilities were completed aided by a Lottery grant, new sponsors and members’ fundraising, but without a penny from the Playing Fields Society sale proceeds and in time to start the 1997-98 season at this new home. A further name change followed in 2003 to reflect the new location in Chorlton and the club was then elected to the Manchester League in 2006. In 2007/8 West won its first Manchester League silverware lifting the Murray Shield in the last game of the club’s centenary year. That team was the nucleus of the previously successful junior team and the following season 2008/09 West just missed promotion to the Premier Division and again reached the Murray Shield Final. With a new management team led by Andy Nelson, 2009/10 was very successful and honours spread throughout the club. The 1st team won the Murray Shield (the third consecutive year in the final) and was league runners-up. The reserves won the Bridgewater League Cup and the U17 Youth team won their League. In 2010/2011 the 1st team won the Manchester League First Division title in style with a fantastic 65 points out of 72 possible. This ranks as one of the highest points totals per game in Manchester League history dating back over a century. The clubs reserve team and youth teams also had terrific seasons, also resulting in promotion and for the second year reaching the Bridgewater Cup Final. The Youth team reached yet another final where they were just pipped to the trophy by New Mills and the Veterans were runners up in the Premier Division of the Cheshire Veterans League. Plans were made to lease adjacent land long term for junior football to deliver the club Vision to be a FA Charter Standard Club, playing at the highest possible level it can whilst remaining financially viable. Floodlights were erected in July 2011 to meet FA requirements and West competed in the FA Vase for the first time in 2011-12 as a Step 7 club. Election to the Step 6 and the NWCFL followed in June 2012 and the club had an incredible first season finishing in 3rd position to secure promotion to Step 5, guaranteeing a first ever FA Cup place and winning the Div1 Trophy. 2013-14 saw a strong recovery from a series of early season setbacks and defeats in August to consolidate with a very creditable 12th place league finish in the Premier Division. Two new stands were then installed to improve spectator facilities and the new grass pitches were laid out on adjoining land as part of the long term development plan. Further historic milestones in 2013-14 were the 2-0 home victory over Abbey Hey in the club’s first ever appearance in the FA Cup quickly followed by a 2-1 first FA Vase victory away at NCEL Rossington Main near Doncaster in mid September. The following season saw the club experience something of an erratic start in the League, as well as losing to Brighouse Town from the Evo Stik League [North] in the FA Cup at the end of August having been given a walk over by the FA in the previous round against NWCFL new club, Cammell Laird 1907. Rossington were FA Vase opponents for the second successive year and again defeated 2-1, this time at home, before West lost 1-2 to eventual finalists Glossop North End. Some good mid season results garnered enough points to finish 16th in the table, well clear of trouble, with a final home game 2-0 victory over Runcorn Linnets signing off manager Andy Nelson’s six meteoric season’s in style. 2015-16 proved to be a record breaking season in a number of ways for West. After a slightly erratic start to the season under new manager Steve Settle, a series of good results from September onwards saw the club rise up the table eventually finishing in a record 5th place. The major highlight of the season had to be the record breaking 15-1 FA Vase win over Dinnington Town, this being the highest ever win both in the Vase as a competition and by any NWCFL club throughout history. Progression was also made off the field with new facilities at Hardy Farm opened by local MP Jeff Smith. Plans were also made to expand the clubhouse and spectator facilities at Brookburn Road. The season was to have a sad end with the death of club secretary Rob Turley, a man who had been involved with West Didsbury & Chorlton for over 40 years. But with a strong volunteer base and progress being made on and off the field, the club is in safe hands with a bright future ahead. 2016/17 saw the club finished in 6th place but finished with both a record points total and number of goals scored notching 106 league goals. The club also saw a record average attendance as almost 5,000 people attended matches at Brookburn Road with a club record 674 in attendance for the South Manchester Derby against Maine Road. In cup competitions West entered the Manchester Premier Cup defeating Radcliffe Borough and Glossop North End en-route to facing FC United of Manchester in the Semi Final’s which saw more than 200 West supporters travel to Broadhurst Park before West bowed out to the eventual winners.

The Bank Holiday Weekend of football continues with a trip to Charnock Richard on Monday afternoon. It’s our second visit to Mossie Park in eight days, we were beaten in the FA Cup last Saturday, after a late winner from Charnock Richard’s Luke Power in added time saw the Lancastrians into the next round. You can watch the highlights from that game below: Saturday saw us get back to winning ways in the league with a 2-1 win against Cheadle Town, Harry Brazel & Lewis Gilboy were on the scoresheet for Andy Welsh’s side. Harry Brazel spoke after Saturday’s fixture about how important it was to get the three points: All your pre-match information is available below. In Opposition – Charnock Richard In 1933 the Chorley Sunday League became the Chorley Alliance League and a Charnock Richard village team was entered, but on the outbreak of the Second World War the league and team were temporarily suspended. At the end of the War, in 1945, the Chorley Alliance League was reformed along with Charnock Richard F.C. The team proved to be a tremendous success, eventually winning the league title in the 1947-48 season, losing only two games, and scoring 107 goals. This success prompted them to try and run two teams, but they ran into difficulties and the club closed at the end of the 1948-49 season. In 1955, under the leadership of Ron Wilcox, the present club was reformed, and once again played in the Chorley Alliance League. Charnock progressed to the North West Counties League in 2016-17 after finishing as runners-up in the West Lancashire League in the previous season and won promotion to the Premier Division of the NWCL in the first season when finishing runners up in Division 1. In the 21-22 season the club won the North West Counties League, League Challenge Cup. Last season, Charnock finished 11th in NWCFL Premier Division.

One of the stars of the season has without a doubt been Darius Palma. He’s arguably been our top performer so far. Unfortunately, the shoulder injury he sustained first at Wythenshawe Town, and then more seriously at Padiham requires surgery. Paying for this privately should see him back by January, but it’s unlikely we will see him back this season without private medical care. The cost of the surgery is £8,000, which is way beyond the entire season’s medical care budget for the club. The club is supporting Darius’ bid to fund this himself and asking supporters to contribute where they can to a fundraiser to get him the treatment he needs. Darius is extremely grateful to everyone for the support he’s received this season from Bury fans, and hopes to get out on the pitch to represent the club as soon as possible.

It’s going to be a busy August Bank Holiday Weekend, which begins with Saturday’s home game with Cheadle Town. Andy Welsh will be looking for a response from his sides 3-2 defeat against Kendal Town on Tuesday evening. Bury opened the scoring on 14 minutes through Andy Briggs, with the Shakers holding onto that lead until just after the break, when Steven Yawson equalised for Kendal. Andy Briggs regained Bury’s lead less than 10 minutes later to the roar of the South Stand, following a goalmouth scramble, when the ball landed at Briggs’ foot for him to slam home the ball from 10 yards out for his sixth league goal of the season. However, that was as good as it was going to get for the men in white, as the game was levelled up by the visitors on the hour mark, when top scorer James Bailey looped a header over Taberner into the opposite corner of the Bury goal before Yawson stole through the Bury defence to score the third and eventual winner on 68 minutes. You can catch Tuesday night’s highlights below: A reflective Andy Welsh, gave us his thoughts following a tough couple of days in the Bury dugout: Visiting Cheadle Town have had a mixed start to the season, having played seven, won two, drawn one and lost four so far in the league. Paul Marshall’s side hosted Prestwich Heys on Tuesday evening, a game they lost 4-2. Heys lead 2-0 after 25 minutes, Cheadle got a goal back before half time. In the second half, Heys gained a further two goals, one from ex-Bury striker Jack Coop, before Jordan Lazenbury scored a second goal for the hosts, two minutes from time. Get all your pre-match information on the opposition, tickets, programmes, access to Gigg Lane, and much more in our details below. A minutes applause will be held ahead of kick-off, as we pay our respects to Emily Wilcock, a player in one of our Women’s Recreational Teams following her sudden passing this week, aged 27. In Opposition – Cheadle Town Cheadle Town was formed in 1961 as Grasmere Rovers playing in the Manchester & District Sunday Football League in their Under 16s Division. As the team developed the Under-21 Championship was won in 1968, followed by the Premier Division title two years later. Grasmere Rovers moved into their own ground at Park Road Stadium in 1982 and, a year later, changed their name to Cheadle Town when they also joined the North West Counties Football League. Membership has mainly been in the Second Division, but in 1996 the club was promoted to the First Division. Sadly, relegation back to the second tier occurred in 2001, a position they occupied until 2023 when they were promoted to the now-named Premier Division. And what a season 2022/23 was… for the first time in over 20-years Cheadle Town were finally promoted to the top tier of the NWCFL. In a season which saw the Football Club awarded ‘Club of the Month’ on three separate occasions and break records for unbeaten runs and consecutive victories. The season came down to the lottery of the Play-Offs which saw Cheadle Town defeat Stockport Town 2-0 in the Semi Finals, leading to a Final against Sandbach United. In front of a crowd of 1,375, Cheadle Town won 3-1 with Martin Pilkington confirming victory in injury time to the delight of the travelling supporters. An occasion that will long live in the memories of all involved with Cheadle Town.

Bury Football Club is extremely saddened to share the passing of Emily Wilcock, aged 27. Emily joined to play within the recreational setup two and a half years ago and was an very proud and committed member of the setup, barely missing a training session, taking part in extra summer sessions and attending social events with the squad. A member of the ‘Greens’, one of a number of our teams competing in the local recreational leagues, who won League 2 of the Greater Manchester Women’s Flexi League in 2022-23 and was part of the club trip to Barcelona in 2022. She grabbed her first goal of the season in the last game of last season, and was selected as Manager’s Player of the Season in 2021-22. Everyone who knew Emily will know she was such a lovely person with a great personality and always had a big smile on her face. She will be solely missed for all these reasons. Emily’s passing will be marked at both our Women’s game this evening and at Gigg Lane on Saturday afternoon. As a club, we wish to pass on our thoughts and condolences to Emily’s family, boyfriend, friends and all of her club teammates as they come to terms with this extremely sad news. Rest in peace, Emily. Emily (bottom row, far right) pictured with the Green Team View the full article

All home games taking place outside the Saturday afternoon ‘blocked hours’ broadcast directive will be able to be live streamed in the UK, via our Bury FC TV service and we will be able to bring these to you currently on a pay-per-view basis at buryfc.co.uk. Season ticket holders: Anyone with a season ticket will receive access to the Live Stream FREE as included when purchasing a ticket.

For general access to click on the ‘Live Stream’ link on the homepage or via the direct link (HERE), to access the payment page. Each stream will be set at a cost of £6.99 (inc VAT). FAQs We provide answers to the questions relating to our Bury FC TV Live Stream service: Q: What is meant by ‘blocked hours’ when it comes to streaming football matches? A: Full explanation is provided below on this. Q: I am a Season Ticket holder, can I get free access to available streams? A: Not at the moment. The functionality to enable season ticket holders access to the games, included within cost of their ticket, is yet to be completed. We are continuing to work on this. Q: Which Saturday afternoon fixtures will be able to broadcast? A: The FA set out the periods when the ‘blocked hours’ directive is in place. The weekend periods when this directive is inactive generally coincides with the game week breaks in the Premier League (EPL) / Championship (EFL) when men’s international football takes place. Where this point coincides with one of our home games, streaming can be made available and supporters will be advised ahead of the game. Q: I live overseas and not affected by the blocked hours directive, can I get access to regular live Saturday afternoon games? A: Not at the moment. The functionality to enable only overseas access is not yet available, but something we are looking at providing in time. Q: Will away games be live streamed? A: Ordinarily, the broadcast of games away from Gigg Lane will not be provided. The ability to offer a Live Stream is reliant on a network internet infrastructure to deliver a quality broadcast which is in place at Gigg Lane. The lack of infrastructure, camera positions, impacts of the weather and volunteer-led time in pulling this together at away grounds, as well as reaching agreement on costs with the host club, impacts on the team’s ability to deliver a quality product. Q: Are there any other restrictions that supporters need to be aware of? A: FA Competitions such as FA Cup / FA Vase / FA Trophy / Minor Cup Comps are not allowed to be broadcast outside of the UK at any time. What are ‘blocked hours’? Blocked hours are set time periods occurring on a Saturday when it is prohibited to broadcast or live stream any form of live football. For Season 2023/24, this includes every Saturday occurring during each period set out below between the hours of 14:45 and 17:15: Start of the season to Sat 2nd September Sat 16th Sept to Sat 7th Oct Sat 21st Oct to Sat 11th Nov Sat 25th Nov to Sat 23rd Dec Sat 13th Jan to Sat 16th Mar Sat 30th Mar to Sat 20th Apr Blocked hours have been in place for many years in England and are permitted by Article 48 of the UEFA Statutes and outlined by the FA for the following reasons: To ensure spectators are not deterred from attending your matches. In parallel to the above, protecting clubs’ revenue generated by gate receipts. To protect the interests of football within each national association.
