Talbot were quick off the mark on the signing front when they bagged the signatures of two experienced players. With Scott Johnston moving to Super First Division side Girvan the goalkeeping position was plugged by the signing of former Irvine Meadow keeper Brian Hewitt.

Most of us will remember Brian as a former Irvine Meadow keeper especially  from back in October 2012 when he was part of the Meadow team that defeated us on penalties in the final of the Ardagh Cup at Beith. Brian also had a successful time at Neilston.

The problem position that Talbot struggled with last season after the injury to Mark Campbell was filled by new signing Danny Boyle.

Danny was part of the Rob Roy side that dominated the start of this seasons Premier Division, He was instrumental in the Rabs 2-0 win over us at Guys Meadow at the start of the season and its undoubtably this display that has caught the eye of the Talbot backroom staff. Danny is a former Cumbernauld stopper and was highly rated by the Super First outfit. He turned down a move to Gus McPherson’s  Queen Park back in 2014.

Six age groups played over the two days with 360 kids playing at age groups 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2003 and 2001. Some cracking games between excellent teams. Some of the individual skills were a joy to watch. The festival was enjoyed by all and gave the kids the opportunity to play expressive football. No doubt some stars of the future were on show. Thanks to all players, coaches and spectators who attended. It was a pleasure to have you all and we’ll hopefully see you again next year.

AUCHINLECK TALBOT YOUTH

2007S
Good games against Caledonian in Prestwick on Saturday for the troops. Started a bit slow but picked it up well and played some cracking football. Again, a bit hesitant in patches but overall they did well. Some of the attacking play was a joy to watch, with some quick passing and excellent dribbling causing real problems. Still struggling at times to play passing football out from the back but we’ll keep persevering and they’ll get there. Special mentions this week go to Jayden Donnelly for tackling and passing, and to Brandon Arthur for dribbling and forward passing.

NEW TEAMS
Our youth setup has recently started two new teams at the 2009 and 2010 age groups with 27 kids involved so far who are really enjoying the opportunity to play football and make new friends. They are currently being coached by Scott Guy (from the SFA) through the McDonalds Programme, and by a coach from one of our other age groups. We already have a couple of people interested in becoming coaches for these teams and we hope to attract others as well to continue to give these kids the chance to play and enjoy themselves. The future looks bright for the new teams

FESTIVAL
We are also holding our annual football festival on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th June 2016 at Beechwood Park, and thanks to the officials from all our age groups, every place has been filled and we’ll see around 360 kids from all over Ayrshire and from Dumfries and Galloway participating. No doubt there will be a few stars from the future on show. It promises to be an excellent two days of grassroots football so get yourself along and see what the kids can do.

AUCHINLECK TALBOT YOUTH

2007S
The boys played against Dean Thistle on Saturday at Kilmarnock. They started really well, putting some lovely moves together and scored a few good goals. A few lapses in concentration let the other team in at times but there was good goalkeeping on show. Some excellent attacking play kept the pressure on which was good to see. A good few opportunities were missed but it was great that they were still getting into those situations. Overall the boys played really well and most worked hard to do so which is the basis of moving forward. Special mentions this week go to Shawn Blackmore for dribbling and tackling, and to Grayson Gooden for tackling and passing.
