We are able to confirm the signing of versatile defender Eoin Charles from Droylsden, subject to NWCFL approval. The 22-year-old came through the ranks at Irlam during the COVID pandemic, before moving to Broadheath Central and then onto Droylsden in the summer. Charles has made 22 appearances, and scored four goals including on his league debut against Euxton Villa. He can play at both right back and centre back so will fit into Dave McNabb’s flexible defensive structure well. Eoin’s brothers Shea and Pearce, both play at Sheffield Wednesday and have received international calls-ups from Northern Ireland. View the full article

We have to bounce back from Tuesday night’s disappointing draw at Irlam, and especially because a win would take us to the top of the table. That’s why we need our fans to come out in numbers to get Gigg Lane bouncing! We are currently third – two points behind Chadderton on top and one behind Ramsbottom United in second. Neither has a league game this weekend, so…Up the Shakers – to the top!!! The ups and downs of recent results have been frustrating for everyone, but we just have to get on with it. We’re having a great season, and everyone is signed up to the promotion challenge. We’re in a great position, lying third below Chadderton on 59 points from 28 matches and second-placed Ramsbottom on 57 from 26. So our 56 from 26 matches puts a massive premium on a couple of games over the Christmas period. The results against Chadderton at Avro next Friday and Ramsbottom at home on Boxing Day might just be season-defining. Victory against Abbey Hey would be a great start to this sequence. So…Up the Shakers!!! View Tuesday’s post match media including interviews with Chris Watts & Connor Pye below. In Opposition – Abbey Hey After quite a good start their first season back in the Premier Division, Abbey Hey are moving in quite the wrong direction. Since we beat them 7-1 in August, they have slumped from 10th in the table to 14th. They have won only one game in their last six, and have lost all the other five. The Gorton club returned to the Premier Division by winning last season’s play-offs in Division One South.

We face yet another tough test with this visit to Irlam, but go into the game buoyed up by a stunning 4-0 performance against Colne. It was a day on which our skill was backed up by grit and determination. Everyone – not least manager Dave McNabb – was embarrassed by the abysmal midweek performance against Litherland REMYCA. So we’re back on track for our vital December run of fixtures. We were without suspended Ben Hockenhull, but were boosted by the last-minute signing of tough-tackling Aaron Chalmers. He not only strengthened the defence but popped the ball into the Colne net in a goalmouth scramble. Ben is available for the Irlam game and popular striker Djavan Pedro – also on five yellows – will play. But DJ will miss Saturday’s home match against Abbey Hey. Losing twice in four games shook us all after going 21 without a single defeat. So the convincing victory against Colne restored morale around the club – along with seeing Nicky Adams back in a Bury shirt. Up the Shakers!! In Opposition – Irlam This is a club with a long and distinguished history. They held us to a 2-2 draw at Gigg Lane back in August and are currently 11th in the league. They finished last season in 13th place. Irlam will be determined to build on a run of decent results. They have lost only one of their last six games, won two and drawn three – including 1-1 result at home against leaders Ramsbottom United just over a week ago. Last season we beat them 3-0 at home but lost 1-0 away – a defeat which cost us in our bid for promotion. Admission & Tickets There are NO advance tickets for this game, with pay on the gate facilities will be available with payments taken with either cash or card. Adults – £7 Concessions – £4 (Over 60 / Under 16) Under 16s – £2 Under 11s – FREE Programmes – £2 Irlam are asking supporters to arrive at the ground as early as possible.

We are delighted to confirm the signing of centre-back Aaron Chalmers, who joins us from Stalybridge Celtic, subject to NWCFL approval. The 33-year-old, came through the ranks at Oldham Athletic, making it through to the first team to make two appearances. After spells at Macclesfield Town and Hibernian, he dropped down the leagues to join Mossley in 2010, where he made 44 appearances and scored once. In 2011, he had a loan stint at Droylsden before moving to Stockport Sports for a season, later signing with Southport. During his time at Southport, he made 29 appearances and had another loan spell at Droylsden. In 2013, he spent a season with Ashton United before starting the 2014 season at Hyde and concluding it at Northwich Victoria. A productive stint followed in 2015 with Stalybridge Celtic, where he amassed 89 appearances. He then rejoined Ashton United, moved to Buxton, and ultimately became captain at Prestwich Heys. During his time at Adie Moran Park, he was a standout player, starting nearly every match and collecting the Player of the Year award last May, before re-joining Stalybridge in the summer, and has made 20 appearances to date this season. Credit: Phil Smith Upon signing for the club, Aaron said: “It was a hard choice to leave Stalybridge. I’ve had two spells there and loved every bit of it, but after speaking to Dave about the ambition of the club and what he wants from me. It’s the right move for me. “The club are going up and not stopping anytime soon. I’m a winner I want to win at anything and everything I do. That’s just the way I am. I’m looking forward to helping the lads and the club get that promotion – that’s my main priority hopefully with a win on Saturday.” Manager, Dave McNabb added: “Aaron is top quality centre half with real defensive instincts. He’s a leader and organiser with an excellent CV and background. He’s played much higher up the pyramid but also knows these levels too. “Aaron will really help us defensively and will work with some of the younger players to help improve them too.” View the full article

We welcome Colne to Gigg Lane determined to bounce back from our disappointing start to a month which may well prove vital in our bid for promotion. That 3-1 defeat at Litherland REMYCA was hard to take, but hey! – football’s always about a new start with the next match. We beat Colne 2-0 at their place at the end of October, with second-half goals from Ben Hockenhull and Connor Pye. Since then, we’ve won two and lost two and Colne have won two, drawn one and lost one. Losing twice in four games has come as a massive shock after going 21 without a single defeat. A convincing victory against Colne is clearly well within our capabilities, and would give morale a massive boost. So we need lots of fans in good voice to flock to Gigg Lane and get behind the lads. Please come on down – and come on you Shakers!! View Wednesday’s post match reaction from Dave McNabb and Cam Fogerty below. In Opposition – Colne All credit to Colne for their performance in the last four games, after a dreadful start to their second season following relegation from the Northern Premier’s West Division. They currently languish in 23rd place in the table, with just 13 points from 24 games. The Shakers are in 3rd place, with 52 points from the same number of games. Last season, we beat them 3-1 away and 4-1 at home, and they finished in 10th positon – seven places below us. Colne was founded in 1996, and just 20 years later – on 7 May 2016 – clinched the North West Counties Premier Division championship. A single goal in their last game of the season at 1874 Northwich was all they needed, and they finally scored it late in the second half. 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. Match Tickets can be bought online HERE. Liam Robinson will join us in Starkies Lounge, he made over 200 appearances for the Shakers during the late 80s & early 90s. Match Coverage & Live Stream If you are unable to make it to the action at Gigg Lane, we’ll have all the live coverage across our media platforms.
