Auchinleck Talbot FC wishes to confirm that we stand fully behind, and will support the parents committee which has been set up in an effort to save the Auchinleck Leisure Centre from closure, a facility that is essential for the community.

The Club can also confirm that no discussions have taken place between ATFC and EAC on the relocation, and installation of a 3g pitch with associated lighting at Merlin Park by the end of 2024.

AUCHINLECK TALBOT FC WISH OUR FANS AND SPONSORS A VERY HEALTHY, HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 2024

Darvel v Talbot (Match Off)

Todays league match at Darvel has become a victim to the overnight frost and will be rescheduled at a later date.

BOYLAN RE-JOINS THE BUFFS

Striker Bryan Boylan has rejoined Kilwinning Rangers after coming from the North Ayrshire side in 2019. It was a horror start to the players Talbot career after he suffered a serious injury in a pre-season match at Irvine Victoria. After a three month lay-off the Talbot fans got their first look at Bryan when he came off the bench, scoring twice against Bellshill in a Scottish Cup tie. Three weeks later he picks up the man off the match award as he scores twice in Talbot’s West Region League Cup final win over Lanark United. Unfortunately Covid ends this particular season, along with completely cancelling out football the following season.

On return to football in the July 2021 Bryan was an integral cog in Talbot’s machinery as he helped the club win the Scottish Junior Cup along with the South Challenge Trophy.

Last season he won a West of Scotland medal after our 2-0 win over Clydebank and although he was late to join this season he has been an important player, scoring our equaliser against Brig of Don and scoring in his last competitive match for Talbot at Vale of Leven.

The club are definitely sad to see him go, but wish him all the best in his new role at the “Buffs”

 

Last Man Standing Competition Winner

Our recent novelty fundraiser “Last Man Standing” kicked off with 72 players. The inaugural competition started in November and without doubt the entry would have been higher had the club had more favourable fixtures over the past few weeks.

This type of competition can last for weeks and is great for stimulating interest in matches that would otherwise be of little interest. As it turned out, we had an outright winner after only five rounds as Jim Halliday remained the only undefeated tipster.

Jim was delighted to be presented with his pre-Christmas prize (£360) by organiser Jim Dunsmore in the Talbot Social Club and the same amount of money will be donated to Auchinleck Talbot towards the end of the season, with hopefully more to be added from future tournaments.

Due to a culmination of factors such as the busy seasonal programme in England over Christmas and New Year followed by the participation of the top clubs in the FA Cup and allied to Talbot not having a home match until early January, the next tournament will be delayed and will commence on Saturday 13th January.

We would be delighted if more people came on board so contact the organisers for further details if you would like to take part in the fun and help the club at the same time.

For the record, this is how the matches panned out:

Week One       72 players       22 eliminated.

Week Two       50 players       12 eliminated.

Week Three    38 players       29 eliminated.

Week Four      9 players         0 eliminated.

Week Five       9 players         8 eliminated.

Jim’s winning selections were Brentford (Wk 1), Fulham (Wk 2), Man City (Wk 3), Bournemouth (Wk 4), Spurs (Wk 5).
