YOUTH ACADEMY MATCH REPORT
2009s….Blacks: –
Really good day for the boys today with a few goals and a clean sheet
A lot of good passing and movement going forward leading to some nicely worked goals
The pressing from the boys was relentless making it really hard for the opposition to settle into the game
A great goal from the training ground between Ryan and Luke and something we hope to see more of in the future
Really hard to pick a man of the match due to the boys being excellent all over the park but bilal mahmood just takes it today he won the penalty to start us off, held his position well, broke up play and some really nice passing 👍🏻⚽️
Well done boys: MOTM bilal mahmood ..Well done bilal
Golds: – vs. Cambusdoon
Some excellent passing and movement led to some great goals and chances today.
Some footballing dark arts from Cambusdoon didn’t deter us from launching a magnificent fight back in the second game with Rudy picking up a great hat trick to win us the match.
The most pleasing thing for Puggy, Paul and I was the passing, movement & possession within the game which we have been working on every training session (although some of the lads are unconvinced)
Some excellent defending today with Alexander in inspired form but Lewis just pips him to the MOTM award 🥇 Well done Lewis 👍
2008s….Golds travelled to Kirkconnel on Thursday night to face Nith Valley. These games are usually cracking games, and tonight didn’t disappoint.
A very even game, with both defences on top for the most of the game. The hard-defensive work at training is starting to pay off for the golds with another good performance by them. Still a bit of work to do, but progress is there to see for everyone.
Special mention to Douglas Schendel & Ayden Kennedy today as the have really embraced the new formation and were superb tonight.
2003s….Talbot 1-2 Troon
Back and forth game, Talbot had a strong penalty decision turned away and had a few chances before troon got a break and a tap in, troon then scored from a corner and went in 2-0 up
Second half Talbot’s kept at it and had one fall the wrong side of the post and one cleared off the line but eventually got 1 back through Jay Waddell, they kept trying but unfortunately couldn’t get the equaliser: Man, of the match: John Johnstone
19s….Bellfield 0-6 Talbot: McClung: McLean: Wright: Mason: White: CampbellAnother good win today for Talbot, 2 wins out of 2 and a good start to the season.

YOUTH ACADEMY MATCH REPORT
TALBOT 03
Talbot 5-2 Dean Thistle
First home game of the season and back to winning ways, Talbot started well and went up 2-0 early on with goals from Michael Kane and Jay Waddell, dean pulled 1 back with a long range freekick, Talbot went in though 2-1 up at half time
Second half
Back and forth with not much happening and then Talbots keeper Michael Nolan pulls off a good save and at the other end deans goalie pulls one off from a Michael McCulloch volley, Dean we’re then awarded a soft penalty with 10 minutes left which they converted leaving the goalie with no chance and this seemed to spark the Talbot into action with Jay Waddell racing clear and with composure slotted Home , after a nice passing move Zak smith joined him on the scoresheet by finding the bottom right corner of the net , Callum Walker put the tie to bed with a cracking first time volley on his unfavoured left foot that he caught nicely and the lads took the 3 points
Man, of the match: Zak Mathieson
2009s
Blacks:-
Very difficult day for the boys against a decent Glenburn team. Very disappointing today, very little passing, pressing or tackling… boys were very passive , just stood back and happy for opposition to have the ball and let them play. Camped in our own half most of the game but when we did start getting out and getting further up the pitch in the second half we didn’t support the striker enough. Hard shift for Luke today battling away himself upfront but he stuck at it. Lots to work on at training on Tuesday.
Motm Luke hannah
Golds-
Similar storyto the blacks unfortunately. Camped in our own half most of the game due to our own errors mostly. Giving the opposition the ball far too easily. Holding back in the tackles as well. But all things we can work on and improve.
On the rare occasions we did get up the park we did cause them some trouble and got a couple of goals too.
Motm- finlay mcroberts for his 2 goals well done finlay
2008s
Talbot welcomed Ayr Boswell to Merlin Park, a fiery fixture that has served up a few crackers over past couple of seasons.
Blacks……With only 7 available players the Talbot boys had a lot asked of them to play a full game with no subs.
This aside Talbot started the brighter and moved the ball about well putting together passing moves and creating chances only lacking the clinical edge. Eventually after soaking up a spell of pressure Talbot hit Boswell on the counter to take the lead. This gave the game the lift it needed and brought it to life, also bringing with a short spell of calamities from both teams allowing Boswell to level and then for Talbot to get there noses back in front. A few meaty challenges and also a few very soft fouls gave Ayr Boswell’s touchline something to shout about, although this going against us as boys lost concentration and come Half time found ourselves 1 goal down. Second half went a lot like the first both teams creating chances, putting together well structured attacks but also making some costly mistakes in the wrong areas. Tiredness started to creep in with a lot of red faces and heavy breathing in the black and gold strips, this allowing Boswell to take the lead in the dying moments of the game after our hard efforts to get back into the match. Overall the Talbot could not be faulted for there effort and all gave 110%.
Golds….
With only 6 available outfield players and 2 goalies, today was always going to be difficult. Talbot battled well in the first half but only had a goal from Anderson to show from it. The new formation, some new positions and both gk having to take a shot outfield to give the boys a break contributed to a difficult first half. Second half Talbot started the better team and couple of tweaks to the positions and Talbot we’re back in the game through a second half hat trick from Meikle. A really hard fought game from both teams and a big improvement from last week.
A special mention to Douglas Schendel, playing in an unfamiliar position and defending really well throughout the game.
Talbot 08s would like to wish Ayr Boswell all the best for the rest of the season.
2006s….
TASS 3-3 TALBOT
A close game today for the lads away to Tass at ardeer quarry. An excellent cross from TJ Graham was met at the back post by Harry Biggans which broke the deadlock and sent Talbot up 1-0. The lads dropped their focus for a brief period allowing Tass to take advantage which sent them into the lead. Talbot worked hard to claw the game back and a goal from Gavin Kirkland seen the game back level at 2-2. Another goal from Tass against the run of play sent Talbot trailing again until a top bag free kick from TJ Graham once again put the game level at 3-3. The lads continued to pressure Tass right till the final whistle but were unfortunately unable to find the winning goal.
Goals from:
Harry Biggans
TJ Graham
Gavin Kirkland.
Man of the Match: TJ Graham🏆

19s….
Talbot 5-1 Kilwinning Rangers
Talbot finally got their season started this week with Kilwinning Rangers visiting the Merlin park. With conditions wet and windy, it looked like it could be an interesting afternoon.
Talbot came out the blocks fast and took the lead within 1 minute when the ball broke to McClung on the edge of the box and he fired home, 1-0. Talbot continued to press and added to their lead on the 10th minute when the ball broke to McLean 6 yards out and he put the ball in the back of the net, 2-0. Talbot pushed really hard for the remainder of the first half, but were unable to add to their lead. Half time 2-0
Kilwinning started the second half better and had a few chances before a brake away from Talbot resulted in a cross to the back post and a terrific header from Wright made it 3-0 on 55 mins. Within 5 mins Kilwinning got a goal back after a scramble in the Talbot box, 3-1. Talbot were now dominating possession and were playing keep ball for long spells. With 20mins to go Talbot scored the goal of the game when a corner fell to McClung about 20yards out and he fired an unstoppable drive into the top corner, 4-1. Kilwinning were now getting pulled all over the pitch with Talbots passing game a joy to watch. With 10 mins to go Talbot added a 5th goal when the Kilwinning midfielder had a wild swing at the ball and it looped over his own goalies head and made it 5-1.
A superb performance today from Talbot,
full time Talbot 5-1 Kilwinning Rangers
