YOUTH REPORTS

2001 Auchinleck Talbot 0 v 4 Irvine Meadow. Disappointing result for Talbot as the lads appeared to be holding their own at half time with no goals from either side. The second half proved to be a bit more challenging but things just didn’t go the way Talbot had hoped for resulting in a defeat. Man of the Match Greig Houston.

2006 Both Tigers and Boswell were away from home this week against teams we have not had much luck against in the past. Tigers were away to Troon thistle Jags and Boswell were at AC Irvine. Both teams were outstanding and the effort from every boy was fantastic. Good teamwork and a huge desire to get results throughout the teams. A mixture of good passing football, great goalkeeping and excellent goals at the weekend was a pleasure to watch. Great day all round for the 2006’s and topped off with a nice hat trick from Ryan McCarron.

2007 The boys were at home to Cumnock on Saturday. An excellent all round display from the boys which has added to their recent run of good form. The attacking play was a joy to watch. The steady defending and building from the back made it easy for the attacking display. Some good goals scored. Could have been a few more but the fact that they were creating the chances was still pleasing. It was a well-mannered game between the two teams with a good desire from both sides to play good football. Special mention this week goes to Callan Smillie for passing and scoring two good goals.

Auchinleck Talbot were saddened to hear of  the recent passing of former President Jock Muir. Jock was a die hard Talbot fan as well as a club official and many of him will have special memories of him.

The club would like to pass on their condolences to Jock’s family.

There will be a minutes silence prior to Saturday’s match against Kilwinning.

Tuesday nights New Coin West of Scotland Cup draw has not been kind to Talbot with a trip to Royal Albert from Larkhall or Maybole. A win in this tie would see us up against Darvel, Kilwinning or Thorniewood.

In the other half of the draw Cumnock, Blantyre Vics, Largs and Rob Roy will be fighting it out for a semi final place.

YOUTH REPORTS

2001 – Glenburn 1 v 3 Auchinleck Talbot. Talbot’s performance today wasn’t quiet the high class performance that we have became accustomed to their laid back attitude became quiet frustrating at times against a 10 man Glenburn team who seemed up for a challenge  but even in an off day these lads still managed to pull off a victory and see us gaining another 3 points. Goals came from Jamie Conn, Taylor Kerr and Lewis Hood. Man of the match Lewis Bell.

2003 – Troon 4-1 Talbot. The boys fought hard and for long spells outplayed the league leaders. Troon used their height though and scored from three corners. Gavin Withers scored a penalty only to be told to retake it and the keeper then saved it which was a harsh descision and had a big impact on the score at that time and ultimately the game. Josh Jones scored his 17th goal of the season with an assist from Zak smith. Man of the match was captain Gavin withers, but Brad “the hitman” Harte and Logan Murray deserve special mentions for the way they played. The boys are home to hurlford on Saturday

2006 – Boswell and Tigers were on home duty this week against Bellfield. Both our teams played very impressive football at times which was really good to watch. Some good well worked goals were scored and great to see the boys playing as a team with smiles on their faces. Positive signs throughout our teams that we are progressing well now and hopefully we can keep up the good momentum we have enjoyed lately. Bit of work to be done on throw ins and playing out from the back but all in all a big improvement over the winter months by all the boys.

2007 – The boys played at home against Valspar on Saturday morning in what was an excellent, we’ll contested game. There was some good football on show from both sides. Talbot played some great attacking football and there was some solid defending and goalkeeping once again. The passing needs to be quicker at times though. Some nice goals scored and the woodwork was hit four times aswell. Special mention goes to Calum Auld for passing and shooting.

2009 – Both teams enjoyed their games today with some much improved play on show. Nice to see some of the things we worked on at training coming through in the games with goals coming from this . Special mentions to Finlay Ralphs for some nicely hit long range goals and good work ethic all round and Daryll underwood for his hard work in the middle of the pitch and good combination play with his teammates. Well done boys.
