TALBOT BOYS CLUB NEWS.

2001 Thursday

Auchinleck Talbot 7 Bellfield 2. The boys played great football with good work rate and

effort. Talbot played with confidence and had the game well under control to achieve a comfortable win with another three points. Well-earned goals came from Justin Barr 2

Conlin Kelly 1 Jamie Conn 3 Lochie Reid 1.

Man of the Match went to Jamie Conn.

Saturday, KSC 5 Auchinleck Talbot 3 in Scottish Cup. Disappointing result for Talbot although things didn’t go their way. The lads showed strength and played the better football. Lessons learned, now time to move forward with team spirit and a positive attitude and ready for our next challenge. Goals came from Jamie Conn 1 Scott Whalen 2.

Man of the Match went to Jamie Conn.

 

2003 No game.

 

2005 On Saturday Auchinleck Talbot travelled south to Kelloholm for a game against Nith Valley. The weather was good and Talbot started well with some good possession however, this was short lived and Talbot found themselves a few goals down against a well organised and well drilled team. Talbot tried to regroup at half time and get back into the match but unfortunately a few of the players picked up some injuries which took its toll and Nith scored a few more goals and pulled away in the match. Talbot can take a few positives from this game. Jay Sharp scored a good solo goal and Taylor Fowler scored with a great shot which nearly burst the net on his team debut. The team can only learn and work hard at training, if this happens then they will get back to their winning ways.

 

2006 Boswell and Tigers were both in action away to Glenburn MW at Prestwick Academy on Saturday. Both teams performed really well and hard work in training is becoming apparent in games. Lots of improvements all over the pitch and teamwork is much better. Goalkeepers Lawrie Smith and Jamie Wilson made some really good saves and two good individual goals from Lewis McFadzean and Kiain Robb capped off another good day for the 2006’s.

 

2007 Games against Dean Thistle on Saturday. Really positive performances from all the boys involved. Played great football, worked hard and they got their rewards. The ball was moving much quicker in the final third which they hadn’t been doing too much of in recent weeks. One or two small patches in the game where the concentration levels dropped but overall it was a cracking display with real hunger to work for each other.

Some lovely moves from back to front and when the opportunities were there, they played some good individual stuff as well. Special mention this week goes to Brandon Arthur for a great overall display and keeping a good temperament.

 

2008 On Sunday the boys were playing five a side at Prestwick. They played 3 Ayr Boswell teams and Valspar. They started off well and played some nice football. Movement, passing and goalkeeping were really good. They’re progressing well.

 

2009 The team played in the fun fours on Sunday. Passing, determination & effort was really good in the games. They’re starting to play some good football with the more games they play. They’ve come a long way the few weeks they’ve been playing. A good performance this week from Ryan Hodge who played really well and tried hard

SPECTATOR CODE OF CONDUCT 2016
The Club has a new Spectator Code of Conduct which can be viewed on Club website at

Former Airdrie defender Grant Drummond has been released at his own request due to work commitments. Grant came to Talbot to kick start his career and soon endeared himself to the Talbot faithful with goals against Muirkirk and Lugar. The club wish Grant all the best and hope he doesn’t disappear from the football scene.
James Latta ruptured his A.C. Joint on his shoulder during Saturday’s game at Beith, and he’s scheduled to visit the doctor again on Friday when hopefully he will have a better idea of the damage and the length of time till full recovery. James took a sore one when he fell heavily during last weeks match and its hoped that he makes a speedy recovery.

TALBOT BOYS CLUB NEWS.
2001’s Auchinleck Talbot 3 Prestwick 2. Hard game for the boys with Talbot managing to pull off the win. Goals came from Rhys Griffin 2 and Scott Whalen 1.
Man of the match went to Dylan McConnell.

2003’s Hard game against Irvine Meadow. A team made up of last season’s league winners. The score didn’t reflect the performance. The boys played good football in stages but couldn’t quite find that killer pass or next gear. Work rate, effort and never quit attitude was always there for all to see. Michael McCulloch with the goal, and brilliant performances as usual from Gavin Withers and Logan Murray. The boys now have a
few weeks break from games.

2005’s This week we were at home (Auchinleck Academy) against Ayr Boswell. This match was going to be challenging like every other time we had played them. We started off very competitively with really good football from both teams. Ayr Boswell opened the scoring but we soon equalised with Cody Gibson scoring. Talbot started playing with confidence and were dominating the game when Cody then scored a second goal
and we found ourselves 2-1up at half time. Talbot came out for the second half slightly sluggish and found that they were quickly under pressure and conceded a goal. This gave Ayr Boswell momentum and with Talbot playing some of their players out of position possibly put themselves under pressure and conceded another two. The final result did not reflect match as this was a well fought game with some excellent football from both teams. Unlucky Talbot.

2006 ‘s Boswell and Tigers were both at home on Saturday. Boswell were up against Catrine Youth and every boy performed exceptionally well. Excellent football resulting in good goals with the pick of the bunch coming from Lucca Announce with a fantastic shot from halfway and Lewis Smith with a well-deserved hat trick.
Tigers faced Nith Valley United and again every boy contributed with an outstanding performance. Passing, moving and working as a team was evident from the start and the football was pleasing to watch. Two good goals from Russell Hendry capped off a good day all round for the 2006’s.

2007’s Game for the boys against Troon on Saturday at Auchinleck Academy. A much improved performance from what we’ve seen in recent weeks from all the boys. Some lovely football was played. If it wasn’t for an excellent display from the Troon goalkeeper there would have been lots more goals as well. That’s the level of effort they need to show all the time so that they’ll get the benefit out of it. Keep it up boys. Special mention this week goes to Calum Auld for his work rate and excellent passing.

A last gasp winner by Dylan Stevenson saw Talbot defeat Beith 2-1 to set themselves up for an Ardagh League Cup final against Kilbirnie Ladeside who beat Cumnock by the same scoreline. It was a hard fought encounter which failed to produce a goal in the first 45 minutes even though both sides had set up good chances. However it was the second portion of the match that had all the talking points. Beith were reduced to ten men after their keeper brought down Keir Milliken and it was the same player who opened the scoring when he out stripped the Beith defence to lob a Martin McGoldrick pass over the replacement keeper. With seven minutes still on the clock Beith equalized when Talbot failed to clear their lines but with minutes remaining a Gordon Pope cross into the back post saw Dylan Stevenson in the right place to sweep the ball into the net.

Talbot have again been busy on the signing front with 2 year deals offered and accepted by Ross Harvey and Craig McCracken. Former Ayr United central defender Craig McCracken has joined us after a loan spell last season. The Catrine lad made his debut on Wednesday nights 2-1 win over Beith where he put in a man of the match display. Ross has joined us after returning from Australia where he left Geelong. He has come with rave reviews from our man Down Under Stan Webster. Welcome to Beechwood lad’s.
