Saturday 11th February saw a vastly experienced Bury Football Club Supporters Society team of members and volunteers face Kews Burrow FC at Gigg Lane Community Stadium. The aim of the day was to raise awareness for Motor Neurone Disease and welcome a Kews Burrow team to our home. On the day donations raised over £400. The Shakers team took the honours on the day with a victory on penalties. This is planned to be an annual event with next years date already in the diary.

Sunday 19th February was a day to remember for the Bury FC Women, who continue to fly the Shakers Women’s side flag with a game against Hindley. Bury FC Women found themselves going a goal down early on against a team who play in the league above. Once the game settled and we found our feet, following a goal fest the Shakers Women ran out 4 – 2 winners with a brace from Sophie Coates, Kimberley Tyson and Phoebe Duckworth. The final will take place at the end of March at Lancashire FA Headquarters in Leyland.
