Fri 10 May 2024	KO 7:45 pm	Loch Park, New Cumnock

A minute’s silence was held before kick-off in memory of former Glenafton defender Mick Neil who played for the club in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Glenafton made two changes to the eleven that started against St. Cadoc’s on Tuesday evening with Alex McWaters and Liam Caddis (injured) making way for Sam McKee and Michael Moffat. The penultimate league match of the season for the home side, currently sitting 4^th bottom, where a victory would ensure their Premier Division status.

The first Glenafton v Cumnock local derby dates back to August 1930, over 93 years ago. The latest meeting between the New Cumnock and Old Cumnock two sides was brought forward to the Friday evening to avoid a clash with a live televised Glasgow derby to be played on the Saturday afternoon, although the date of the first clash between these two teams is hotly disputed by some supporters of either team! Whatever the case the switch had the desired outcome with a good-sized crowd congregating on the terracing and the bonnie bonnie bankings of Loch Park.

Although Glenafton kicked off in the glorious evening sunshine it was Cumnock that made a bright start winning an early corner that former Cumnock keeper Ally Semple pushed away from the far post. The ball was quickly recovered by the ‘Nock allowing Sam Jamieson to drive to the bye-line only for his cut-back to the inrushing Allan McKenzie to be intercepted and held by Semple at the near post. The visitors continued to press but the finishing touch continued to elude them.

Glens countered through Shuggy Kerr’s header into the left-hand side of the box which was chased down by Michael Moffat and although he threaded his cross between two defenders and over the head of a third, keeper Jamie Barclay clutched the ball from under the bar as Cammy Ross threatened in the six-yard box.

Play began to rage back and forth, often punctuated with free kicks which typically were played into a box busy with defenders and attackers in equal number and the ball eventually cleared to safety.

On 20 minutes Cumnock came close to breaking the deadlock. Andy McLauchlin burst down the right to hunt down a ball bouncing into the box and met it on the nick of the time on the bye-line to cut it back into the goalmouth where Sam Jamieson got in between two defenders and blast a shot from 6 yards that crashed off the top of the post. The force of the shot sent the rebound out to the right where Robbie Buchanan won the race to retrieve it before drilling the ball back into the six-yard box only for Craig Pettigrew to clear as Jamieson hoped to pounce again. The chances sparked a good spell of Cumnock possession pegging the Glens back but their defence stood firm.

The tide began to turn in the home side’s favour with a wave of attacks. Sam McKee gathered the ball tight on the left then skipped past defender Andy McLaughlin before driving to the edge of the box and floating a high ball to the far corner of the six-yard box where Ross leapt to send a header that looped high over the bar.

Soon after Ollie Rowe headed another ‘Nock attack clear and in a flash Moffat and Kerr combined to win a corner on the left which was pinged low to Pettigrew at the near corner of the six-yard box only for Jamie Wilson to rob the ball with a well-timed slide tackle.

Back came Glens with playmaker Payton clipping the ball to Moffat who quickly laid it off to Ross on the right. The two then combined down the wing to win another corner which McKee floated high into the box where it was eventually cleared and recovered by the home side to win another corner on the right. McKee floated an identical high kick to the edge of the six-yard box where Ollie Rowe leapt between McLaughlin and MacKenzie to bullet a header between the keeper and the unmarked near post. Glens ahead on 60 minutes.

Cumnock quickly countered and launched a free kick into the box that was cleared and promptly clipped back into the goalmouth where McKenzie and Semple leapt together with the keeper clutching the ball under the bar before falling to the ground. Soon after Buchanan and Wilson were robbed of the ball by Pettigrew on the edge of the Glens box before slipping the ball to Paton to curl it upfield for Kerr to chase. On reaching the ‘D’, with the back-tracking Alan Cook closing in from behind and keeper Barclay racing from his line, Kerr opted to lob the goalie but the adrenalin rush sent the ball high into the flight path for Prestwick!

Moffat gathered a short throw-in from Lyall Holding deep on the left and gave two defenders the slip to drive to the bye-line before cutting it back for Ross only for McLennan to intercept and clear it the edge of the box where Fraser met it first time to blast a shot from 22 yards that deflected off Wilson and out for a corner on the right. On this occasion McKee’s kick was headed clear by McLaughlin as Rowe was well marked by Cook.

At the other end Jared Willet played a short-corner on the right to Jamieson to drive along the bye-line only for Sinnamon to nick the ball from him at the edge of the six-yard box.

Cumnock continued to press and on 42 minutes Jamieson from the right, close to the corner flag whipped a ball across the face of goal where Callan Veitch, under pressure from Paton, did well to trap it and set up a shot from six yards only for Rowe to make a great block. Fraser pounced on the loose ball and squared to Ross who set off on a lung-bursting up the right wing only to be tripped by Willet. Paton floated the free-kick high into the heart of the box where Kerr won the aerial battle with Cook only for his header to sail high over the bar.

Soon after, Fraser killed MacLennan’s clearing header on his chest before leathering a shot from 22 yards that was deflected wide for a corner on the left which McKee delivered to the near side of the six-yard box only for Pettigrew’s header dipped over the bar.

HT Glens 1 Cumnock 0

Cumnock kicked off with the sun now beginning to set behind the Glens goal and were first to threaten. Cook launched a free-kick from inside his own half to the right hand side of the box where MacKenzie’s downward header was trapped by McLauchlin at the corner of the six-yard box who rolled it wide to McLaughlin to fire it back to the near post where Semple safely gathered.

At the other end Paton clipped a free-kick from wide on the right into a busy box where a scramble ensued before Pettigrew managed to tee a shot up from 12 yards which from its trajectory must have deflected off a defender as it sailed high over the bar, but a goal kick awarded. Sinnamon then curled a great cros from wide on the right, high into the six yard box for Kerr only for Barclay to leap and pluck the ball out the air.

Back came Cumnock who were up in the numbers in the Glens box only for MacKenzie to lose possession allowing Fraser to fire the ball upfield for Kerr to chase albeit Cook had a clear head start, however under pressure, he was forced to play the ball back to his keeper now rushing to the edge of the box. By this time Kerr was in the box and Barclay not wanting to handle the back pass chested the ball down and pushed it out beyond the edge of the ‘D’ to boot the ball upfield with Moffat closing in. However McKee was quick to react and lobbed the ball back high over the head of the stranded keeper and Kerr leaving Cook no option it seemed but to dive and handle the ball in the six-yard box to prevent it going into the gaping net. The unfortunate centre-back was shown a red card and Shuggy Kerr stepped up to slam home the spot kick. Glens 2-0 up on 54 minutes against the 10 men of Cumnock.

Cumnock made a change with Andy McLauchlin making way for Ruari Ellis. The ‘Nock responded well breaking in numbers upfield again, to win a corner on the left which was curled to the near post where Jamieson’s glancing header bounced up to fall kindly for Ellis only for his header to drift wide of the back post.

At the other end Moffat held off three defenders at the edge of the ‘D’ before knocking the ball forward to Kerr, played onside by McLaughlin, to break into the box only for Barclay to come off his line, forcing the striker wide and his shot then deflected wide by the keeper. The corner kick was cleared and Cumnock countered in numbers which ended with Buchanan’s low angled shot beating Semple at the near post only for the ball to drift inches wide of the back post.

The home side then large spells of possession as they broke forward in numbers. On 65 minutes Sam McKee, after a great shift with both assists, made way for Alex McWaters.

Glens continued to press and on 69 minutes extended their lead in fine style. Sinnamon clipped a ball from the edge of the ‘D’ forward to Kerr in the centre-circle who then broke to the left of McLennan while Michael Moffat broke to the right of the defender to collect his team-mate’s pass before skipping past Ellis to burst into the box and guide a shot from 12 yards beyond the reach of Barclay, diving at full stretch on the six-yard line, and into the bottom corner of the net.

Glenafton made a double substitution with Michael Moffat and Gary Fraser leaving to loud applause from the jubilant home support to be replaced by Cammy Crooks and Dylan O’Kane. Three minutes later Cammy Scott received the same reception from the fans on making way for young Harvey Gilmour.

It was very much one-way traffic and the Glenafton substitutions made a big contribution to extend their lead. Crooks from deep and tight on the right played a slick one-two with O’Kane before gliding past Willet and clipping a high ball into the box where Alex McWaters killed it before cracking a glorious shot from 16 yards over the heads of two defenders into the far corner of the net with Barclay rooted to the spot. Glens 4-0 up on 82 minutes.

Credit to Cumnock as they continued to seek out a consolation and came close after Willet curled a wicked corner to the back post only for Crooks to leap above two blue shirts to win the ball allowing Pettigrew to launch it up the park where Gilmour gathered on the left and on feigning to cut inside, he instead slipped the ball up the wing for O’Kane to cut into the box only for McLaughlin to clip his heels. Up stepped Shuggy Kerr and although Barclay guessed ‘which way’ on this occasion he couldn’t prevent the striker’s spot kick nestling in the net, to make it 5-0 on 86 minutes.

As the match drew to a close Cumnock won another corner kick and came close to a consolation only for MacKenzie’s header to flash across the face of goal and mopped up by the Glens. Rowe launched the ball down the left where it was gathered by Gilmour tight on the wing before giving McLennan the slip to curl a great ball to the far side of the box for the incoming Crooks only for his shot to be blocked by Willet.

Three minutes added time brought the match to a close and of course there were loud cheers in recognition of doing the league double over their local rivals in such an emphatic fashion while it would be fair to say these feelings of joy were swamped with those of relief felt by the players, supporters and management & staff in retaining Premier Division status after a long and stressful season.

Glenafton 1 St. Cadoc’s 3

Posted on May 7, 2024 by flowgently

PDM HUWS GRAY	WOSFL Premier Division	Match 28
Glenafton Athletic	1 (o)	Kerr
St. Cadoc’s’s	1 (0)	McTaggart, McLaughlin, Sweeney
Tues 07 May 2024	KO 7:30 pm	Loch Park, New Cumnock

Glenafton made two changes to the eleven that started against Kirkintilloch on Saturday with Lyall Holding returning from suspension replacing Cammy Crooks (injured) and Alex McWaters replacing Dylan O’Kane. Unfortunately, former Glenafton defender Richie McKillen had to sit this one out after collecting quite the shiner in the St. Cadoc’s game against Clydebank at the week-end.

Glens kicked off in the bright sunshine while the visitors were first to breach their opponent’s box through Aidan McIlduff’s cross from wide on the left to the edge of the six-yard box for Bob McHugh who was quickly dispossessed by Lyall Holding and Ollie Rowe.

The home side countered down the right where Alex McWaters played a neat one-two with Shuggie Kerr to skip past Gary Miller into the box and although he was stripped of the ball by Alan Lithgow team-mate Kerr quickly recovered it and side-stepped Lithgow to drill a low angled shot from 16 yards that was comfortably saved by keeper Max Currie.

Play continued to go back and forth before St. Cadoc’s opened the scoring on 12 minutes. McIlduff gathered the ball at the left-hand corner of the box and threaded a pass between two defenders into the box for the inrushing Lewis McTaggart to chase down and although keeper Ally Semple raced from his line to dive at the striker’s feet, McTaggart stood firm, recovered the ball and guided into the net as he lost his balance.

Soon after Neil McLaughlin broke into the left-hand side of the box and pushed to the bye-line from where he rolled the ball back to McTaggart only for his shot from 18 yards to be deflected wide of the post for a corner kick which Anton Brady floated to the self-same post where Ryan Sinnamon leapt to head the ball high into air which was cleared on its descent by the Glens defence.

The visitors were enjoying much of the possession with patient build up play from the back without however creating any clear-cut chances. McTaggart picked up a pass on the outskirts of the ‘D’ only to be dispossessed by Craig Pettigrew while Gary Fraser mopped up the ball before releasing Cammy Ross up the left wing only to run out of room at the touchline.

Soon after, McHugh, with a clutch of blue shirts in his way, opted to shoot from 30 yards but it lacked the accuracy of the Cads passing.

The same could be said for Alex McWaters shot from a similar distance on 20 minutes as it too bounced wide of its target, however it heralded a good spell of the home’s sides presence in their opponent’s half.

Ross from tight on the left played a great one-two with Kerr, despite Miller’s man-handling of the striker, to burst towards the bye-line leaving Ronan Hughes in his wake, before whipping a cross into the box only to be intercepted by Miller at the expense of a corner.

McWaters fired the kick to the near corner of a packed six-yard box where Kerr got a touch before McTaggart to knock the ball deeper into the goal mouth where Pettigrew with his back to goal (and with Miller glued to his back), managed to hook the ball toward the goal where the keeper managed to block it with his knees and then his chest before falling backwards into the goal while McLaughlin, two yards off the line hoofed the ball clear.

Although play raged back and forth it was the home side that looked more threatening with balls into the box and Kerr and Liam Caddis winning the aerial battles.

On 28 minutes Holding and Ross combined well deep on the left flank and as the latter looked to float the ball into the box the frustrated full back Dom Slattery took him out. Paton, 12 yards from the bye-line and tight on the touch-line curled the free-kick into the busy goalmouth where Miller rose like a rocket only for his header to send the ball behind for a corner.

McWalters from the right clipped the ball to the near side of the six-yard box where Ross nodded it on and the alert Rowe stooped between two defenders to guide a downward header toward goal only to hit Currie’s foot on the line before the ball was scrambled clear, temporarily.

McWalters floated a free-kick from the right into the heart of the box where Kerr outleapt Slattery & Hughes only for his header to drift wide of the post.

At the other end McLaughlin was looking lively up front (and in defence to be fair) but the visitors were struggling to penetrate the Glens box with Holding, Pettigrew and Rowe taking turn to clear their lines. Slattery launched a long throw from the right, a few yards from the bye-line, to the near post for McTaggart only for Holding to intervene and head the ball clear.

In a final push before the break McWalters burst down the right showing the pursuing McIlduff a clean pair of heels only for the defender to deflect his cross which ended up on the roof of the net. The corner from the right that followed was cleared only to be recovered by Paton on the left to float a ball deep into the box where Rowe won the aerial battle laying the ball off to McWalters tight on the right to clip the ball to the far corner of the six-yard box only for Paton’s looping header to fall comfortably into the clutches of Currie.

The home side unlucky to be behind at the break.

Glens 0 St. Cadoc’s 1

The home side started the second half brightly. Caddis laid the ball off to McWalters deep on the right flank who then played a slick-one two with his team-mate before whipping the ball from the bye-line into the goalmouth for the incoming Kerr and Ross only for Slattery to head wide at the expense of a corner which was cleared.

Glens continued to press and another high ball into the box saw Ross get the jump on Slattery on this occasion but his header sailed well wide of target. Soon after Kerr climbed high between two defenders at the edge of the box to head the ball down into the path of Caddis and as he tried to complete the one-two Miller intervened on the six-yard line to boot the ball into touch.

On 54 minutes McWalters floated a corner kick from the right into the box for Caddis and Kerr, and although the former was being held back by Slattery the latter leapt to power a header from 8 yards that crashed off the outside of the right post while the keeper was rooted on his line at the other post.

A minute later Gary Fraser cracked a low shot from 20 yards that saw Currie come off his line to get down low and stop the shot and then gather the loose ball as Kerr closed in.

The home side continued to push forward with Fraser and Paton dominating the middle of the park. Fraser laid off a short pass to McWalters on the left to ping a high ball to the far side of the six-yard box where Kerr got the jump on three static defenders only for Currie to leap and cleanly catch the ball. Ross then fired a low powerful shot from the 18 yards line that was blocked by Lithgow on the six-yard line sending the ball back to the edge of the box where it was met by Paton only for his low angled shot to drift wide of the far post.

The Glens having been camped on the outskirts of the Cads box were caught out as Daniel McManus burst through the middle holding of Ross and on reaching the box slipped the ball wide to McLaughlin breaking into the left-hand side of the box only for his attempt to square the ball across the face of goal strike Ross on the arm. Neil McLaughlin stepped up to slot the spot-kick home beyond the reach of Semple at full stretch. Hard to take that the visitors were now 2-0 up with 62 minutes on the clock.

On 70 minutes Glens made a double substitution with Cammy Ross and Liam Caddis making way for Michael Moffat and Dylan O’Kane. Three minutes later McWalters curled a free kick to the six-yard line where Kerr beat substitute Kyle in the air to send what looked like a goal bound looping header only for Currie to leap, finger-tip and flick the ball over the bar.

The corner that followed from the left was fired to the rear of a packed six-yard box where Pettigrew under pressure from Miller sent a header wide of target, his claims for a penalty waved away.

Paton gathered the ball in the centre circle and clipped a ball into the heart of the box where Moffat’s header for the inrushing Kerr was cut out by Currie.

On 80 minutes Glens made a final change with Alex McWaters making way for Sam McKee.

The home side continued to enjoy good spells of possession deep in their opponent’s half without however creating any clear-cut chances until, that was, the 84^th minute. Fraser threaded a perfectly weighted pass into the box for McKee to gather and squeeze through the gap between McIlduff and Lithgow before laying the ball off to Shuggie Kerr to thrash a low shot between Miller and substitute Ross Taylor and past the keeper, rooted four yards off his line, into the net.

The Glens went all out for the equaliser pegging St Cadoc’s back while also surviving a couple of counter-attacks only for the third one, on 92 minutes to prove lethal. A Glens clearance only reached as far as the centre circle where McManus curled a forward pass for Gary Muir breaking into the right-hand side of the box to instantly lay it on a plate for fellow substitute Ronan Sweeney, on his tod, to guide it home from close range.

The final whistle blew moments later.

FT Glens 1 St. Cadoc’s 3

A final score that certainly didn’t reflect the effort put in by the Glens tonight.

Match Mascot young Reeceand captain Craig Pettigrew

Glenafton made five changes to the eleven that started against Beith with David Markey, Lyall Holding (suspended), Michael McMullin (suspended), Sam McKee and Harvey Gilmour making way for Ally Semple, Ryan Sinnamon, Ollie Rowe, Cammy Ross and Dylan O’Kane.

Apologies no team lines for Kirkintilloch

A crucial game in the battle for Premier Division survival as 4^th bottom Glenafton (Pl. 26 / 27 pts.) faced 3^rd bottom Kirkintilloch Rob Roy (Pl. 27 / 24 pts.)

The Rabs kicked off on an overcast day brightened up by a small band of the Glens Young Ultras.

The first chance fell to the home side after Dylan O’Kane was fouled just inside the Rabs half and wide on the left. Paul Paton floated the ball high into the box where Liam Caddis got the jump on centre-back Kevin Green only for his looping header to drop over the bar.

Soon after No. 6 brought down Caddis in the middle of the park about 25 yards from goal from where Gary Fraser fired a free-kick that bounced just inside the six-yard box before the keeper stooped to catch is safely.

On 17 minutes the visitors won a corner-kick on the right that was floated to the back post where No. 5 and Craig Pettigrew both got their heads on the ball and as it fell to the ground the Rabs man quickly reacted to fire a low volley from inside the six-yard box that keeper Ally Semple made a brave block full on his chest before the loose ball was cleared.

Back came Glens. Hugh Kerr leapt to intercept a Rab’s clearance and then picked out Caddis who quickly returned it to Kerr and after skipping past two defenders he fired a shot from 25 yards that drifted high and wide of target.

Rabs replied through No. 3 driving down the left and whipping a cross deep into the box where Cammy Crooks sent a clearing header to the outskirts of the box which was recovered by the Rabs and after a slick one-two between No. 10 and No. 2, the former broke down the right only to be brought down by Crooks and the free-kick played into the six-yard box was scrambled clear by the home defence.

Midway through the half Ryan Sinnamon pushed up the right and drilled a low ball up the touchline for the lively Cammy Ross to give No. 6 the slip before rolling the back to Sinnamon to quickly curl a high ball to the edge of the six-yard box where although both centre-backs were marking Kerr and Caddis, it was the latter that leapt highest to bullet a header that the keeper safely palmed off his line.

Play then raged back and forth and with defences on top at either end there were few chances on show before the Glens broke the deadlock on 40 minutes.

Kerr won a corner on the left and made his way into the box as O’Kane lined up the kick. Although the six-yard box was packed to the gunnells Kerr had drifted out at the far-end unnoticed and unmarked. Seizing the moment O’Kane drilled a low ball towards the penalty spot to match Kerr’s run where although No. 6 rushed out to close him down, the striker sweetly smacked the ball first time through a ruck of players and the narrow space between the keeper diving at full stretch and the captain on the post. The celebrations were rightly joyous on and off the park, the Young Ultras doing their bit too!

Soon after the Glens won a corner on the right, on this occasion the plan went awry and Rabs cleared the danger. Time however for another corner before the break and back to the left-hand side. The bodies of each team were spread between the six yard box and the penalty area as O’Kane floated it perfectly between the two where Kerr bravely stooped to get a downward header away, as Green attempted to boot the ball clear, only for the ball to bounce inches wide of the post.

HT Glens 1 Rob Roy 0

The home side kicked off but quickly lost possession and No. 3 tried his luck from edge of the centre-circle in the Glens half launching a shot upfield only for the alert Semple to stand his ground and clutch the ball out the air.

Glens reciprocated and O’Kane’s shot from the edge of the box saw the keeper dive at full stretch to push the ball out to the side of the box and set up a counter-attack down the right that won the Rabs a corner. The ball was clipped towards the densely populated back-post where Semple did well to catch and hold the ball, under pressure from Green at his back.

Back at the other end Kerr was barged in the back as he approached the ‘D’ from where Fraser blasted a shot past the Rabs wall only for the keeper, 2 yards off his line, to leap and finger-tip the ball over the bar. O’Kane’s corner floated to the edge of the six-yard box where the determined Caddis won the aerial battle only his header ball to drift wide of the back post.

Played then flowed back and forth at a pace. Rabs No. 10 from tight on the right whipped the ball deep into the goalmouth where Semple leapt to push the ball away from the inrushing No. 9 and then the loose ball was cleared from the box only for Rabs to regain possession and win a corner. This was played to the near post where Paton under pressure from No.9 headed the ball out to the edge of the box where No. 6 quickly returned it with a looping header which slipped wide of the post.

On 65 minutes the Glens doubled their lead through shear determination and patience. Kerr chased down a ball and burst into the right-hand side of the box with Green tracking his moves while Fraser was pushing through the middle waiting on a pass. However, with defenders congregating around Kerr he retreated from the box and gave two other defenders the slip before laying the ball off to Paton who neatly rolled the ball back into the right-hand side of the box where Fraser had now positioned himself. Both centre-backs raised their hands for offside (while both looked to have played him on) nevertheless the assistant referee had a clear view of No. 2 at the far end of the box playing Fraser on by a good three yards before he clipped a low angled pass to the edge of the six-yard box where Liam Caddis got the jump on No. 2 to drill the ball into the net despite the keeper’s best efforts. Glens enjoyed their celebrations while Rabs licked their wounds and quickly regrouped with 25 minutes of the match still remaining.

Substitute No. 15 cracked a shot from 20 yards that dipped over the bar although Semple appeared to have it covered. Soon after, the keeper had to get both fists to punch away a corner kick curled to the near post and the loose ball quickly hoofed upfield. O’Kane gave chase despite No.2 having a head start and he rolled it back to his keeper to hoof it back up the park only for Fraser to fend of three defenders before unleashing a diagonal shot from 25 yards that whizzed beyond the reach of the airborne keeper and high over the junction of bar and far post.

On 71 minutes Glens made a change with Dylan O’Kane coming off to well-earned applause and to be replaced by Sam McKee who took up his position on the left wing with Cameron Ross switching to the right.

Shortly afterwards, another good run by No. 15 ended with Paton’s challenge at the edge of the box and he opted to take the free-kick himself only for Caddis on the right-hand side of the wall to meet it full on with a powerful header sending it high into the air and for Rowe to then head it clear for Ross to gather and break down the right where the Glens won a free-kick. Paton curled the kick to edge of the six-yard box where Caddis won the header but it deflected off Green for a corner which McKee floated into the goalmouth and Kerr’s header was cleanly clutched by the keeper.

On 76 minutes Rob Roy halved the deficit after the ball was launched up the park where the lively No. 15 gathered it at the edge of the box before slipping a forward pass to No 17 to draw Semple off his line before drilling a low shot from a tight angle and beyond the reach of the back-tracking Glens defenders to nestle in the far corner of the net.

Glenafton made another change with Shug Kerr leaving to appreciative cheers and Michael Moffat joining Caddis upfront.

Meanwhile the Rabs tails were up as they went on search of an equaliser. Pettigrew, Rowe and Crooks were winning the aerial battles while Paton and Sinnamon were scrambling balls clear of the box. No. 15 posed another threat and it was Sinnamon on this occasion that was penalised for the trip inside the ‘D’. The free kick was left to No. 5 who curled a great ball wide of the Glens wall and beyond the reach of the diving Semple who was relieved to see it slip wide of the base of the post.

After another scramble in the Glens box the ball fell for No. 2 on the right-hand side of the box who set up the inrushing No. 18 to dig out a well struck shot that Semple caught and held firmly as No. 17 looked to capitalise on any spillages.

Some respite for the home side as McKee broke down the left before clipping the ball to Moffat at the left-hand corner of the box from where he rolled it back to Fraser to fire a low shot from the edge of the ‘D’ which deflected off a Rabs boot sending it wide of the post with the keeper stranded. McKee’s corner was won by Caddis sending the ball soaring high to the air and on its descent was retrieved to initiate a counter-attack by Rabs that fizzled out.

Another Rabs attack ended with Rowe nicking the ball from No. 18 on the 18 yard line before Fraser snapped up the loose ball to release Ross through the middle who drifted out to the touchline and left two defenders in his wake before the afterburners took him to the bye-line only for his cut-back for the incoming Caddis to be intercepted and cleared.

With 2 minutes remaining of regulation time Rabs responded in almost lethal fashion as No 17. burst up the left before cutting along the bye-line and forcing Semple off his goal line to cover the near post and curl a shot that battered off the base of the far post, while No. 18 was hoping for a cut-back that would have presented him with an open goal.

On 89 minutes Glens made their final change with Cammy Ross coming off to a great ovation after some shift, to be replaced with Alex McWaters who was quickly in thick of the action. He received a ball from McWaters on the right to curl a cross into box for Caddis which was intercepted by a defender only for McWaters to recover the ball and slip the ball to the unmarked Moffat to push forward towards the penalty spot and pick his spot only for the outrushing keeper to block his shot with an outstretched leg and along with No. 7 scramble the ball clear.

The final whistle blew on 94 minutes and a valuable 3 points were well earned.

Sat 27 Apr 2024	KO 2:00 pm	Bellsdale Park, Beith

Glenafton made three changes to the eleven that started against Troon last Saturday with Ollie Rowe (unavailable), Cammy Ross (injured) and Hugh Kerr (injured), while top goal scorer Michael Moffat was also unavailable and Scott McLean remains on the long-term injury list. In came Alex McWaters and Liam Caddis along with young Harvey Gilmour, making his Glenafton debut.

The two sides met 11 days ago and shared the points in a goal-less draw on the floodlit Loch Park. In stark contrast today’s match on the sun-lit Bellsdale Park saw league leaders Beith live up to their name of ‘The Mighty’ as they put Glens to the sword, bagging nine goals (five down the hill and four up the hill) while keeping a clean sheet at both ends!

Captain Paul Frize kicked off and a minute later he was in the heart of the Glens box to meet Andy Monk’s pass squared in from the left only to scoop it high over the bar. The visitors responded and manage to push up the slope without testing the keeper.

Back came Beith in lethal fashion finding the net on five occasions in a torturous twelve-minute spell for the Glens.

The first came on the 10^th minute after Andy Monk, from the left, whipped a ball into the box which Alan Docherty trapped before turning to crack a seemingly net-bound shot from 12 yards only for keeper David Markey at full stretch to pull of a great save and although he pushed the ball wide of goal the alert Ciaran Diver chased it down and hooked it into back into the net.

Two minutes later Declan Hughes from tight on the right curled a ball into the box where Alan Docherty’s downward header from the six-yard line smacked of the shins of defender Lyall Holding marking Monk and popped up kindly for Docherty to stretch a leg and divert the ball into the net.

On 15 minutes play-maker Carlo Monti picked up a pass on the right 10 yards inside the Glens half and pushed forward at a pace before unleashing a vicious dipping shot from 25 yards that beat Markey rooted on the six-yard line.

A short spell of respite for the Glens as they enjoyed some possession in the Beith half but again without breaching their box.

However, Beith were soon back on the front foot with Monti, on the right touchline, picking up a great pass from Frize before cutting inside along the touchline and slipping the ball to Diver breaking into the six-yard box only for his shot to be cleared off the line by Paul Paton. The ball eventually fell for Caddis to hoof it up field to trigger a chase up the slope only for keeper Owen Stott to rush from his box and launch it high into the air back down the slope way over the heads of black and red shirts alike and as the ball re-entered the earth’s atmosphere to splash down on the Glens 18 yard-line it was met by the quick-thinking Docherty who had been tracking its trajectory. Although his first touch sent the ball to right hand side of the box, he quickly gathered it five yards from the bye-line and whipped it back toward the near post where the incoming Ciaran Diver with the neatest of touches clipped the ball with the outside of his bootguiding itbetween Markey and Paton into the net. Beith 4-0 up on 21 minutes.

A minute later Monti weaved his way down the right touchline to the corner before clipping a ball into the six-yard box over the head of Paton while behind him Ciaran Diver leapt high to bullet a powerful downward header into the far corner of the net to complete his hat-trick, 3 goals in 12 minutes.

The game settled into a pattern of back and forth with few clear-cut chances on show during which tie Evan Dunne had taken a knock and was replaced by Martin Findlay.

On 33 minutes Cammy Crooks had Glens first attempt on goal only for his shot from 30 yards or so to fly wide of the post. Soon after the visitors won a corner on the right that Harvey Gilmour pinged it low into the box where Caddis met hit first time only for his shot to sneak wide of the post.

Just before the break Carlo Monti appeared to crash to into one the advertising board and was clearly in some distress and unsurprisingly was replaced by Aaron Mason.

HT Beith 5 Glens 0

Glens made two changes at the break with Sam McKee and Alex McWaters making way for Ryan Sinnamon and Dylan O’Kane.

The home side added to their tally on 54 minutes after Andy Monk picked up a pass from Aaron Mason pushed forward and from 22 yards curled a shot through the space between Craig Pettigrew and Michael McMullin and beyond the reach of Markey on his six-yard line.

A few minutes later Beith won a corner on the right that was played low to the front post where O’Neill stooped down low on the six-yard line to line only for Holding to block it on the line.

The home side continued to press and on 58 minutes Mikey McWilliams driving to the edge of the box was brought down by Michael McMullin, earning the defender a second yellow card and an early bath. Diver’s free-kick curled over the wall and wide of target.

On 64 minutes O’Kane broke the down the right and his cross out for a corner. Gilmour floated the kick into the box where it went beyond Caddis possibly because Findlay had a fistful of the Glens striker’s shirt, in front of the referee, but no action taken!

Back Beith and Findlay was in the thick of the action with an accidental clash of heads with Gilmour, happy to say after some retreatment he was able to play on. Soon after Glenafton’s fortunes went from bad to worse with Lyall Holding shown a straight red card. A ball had been played up the left wing for Docherty to chase but Holding was first to reach it, only to mistime his clearance allowing the ball to run on into box and as Docherty tried to push his way past there was some grappling but which time the ball was safely in the hands of Markey. The young defender was left distraught and Glens were now 6-0 down and down to 9 men on 69 minutes.

Although the 9 men were being pegged back and defending stoutly inevitably Beith increased their lead after Mason curled a free-kick, from wide on the left about 12 yards from the corner-flag, to the near post where Scot Rough headed home to make it 7-0 on 76 minutes.

Two minutes later Mason made a great run down the left and on reaching the touch-line cut the ball back to Docherty at the corner of the six-yard and from here he rolled it to Ewan Wilson to drill a low diagonal shot into the far corner of the net.

On 82 minutes the scoring was completed after Mason floated another free kick from the left touchline to the edge of the six-yard box where Martin Findlay leapt to flash a header in to the same far corner of the net.

The home side remained hungry for a tenth but the beleaguered defence held on and saw off a penalty claim after substitute Victor Emordi was booked for a blatant dive and roll in the box under pressure from Crooks.

FT Beith 9 Glens 0

A tough day for Glenafton against a very good Beith side and the focus no is about picking themselves up for more important games that lie ahead.

Troon 2 Glenafton 0

Posted on April 20, 2024 by flowgently

PDM HUWS GRAY	WOSFL Premier Division	Match 25
Troon	2 (0)	Gilroy 2
Glenafton Athletic	0 (0)
Sat 20 Apr 2024	KO 2:00 pm	Portland Park, Troom

Glens lined up with the eleven that started against Beith on Tuesday night. In the Troon line up were former Glenafton favourite Dale ‘Gunner’ Moore and centre back Aldin El-Zubaidi who had short spell on loan from Kilwinning Rangers last season. Meanwhile on the bench was Dario Viviani who also haf short spell at the Glens on loan from Ayr United earlier this season and is now on loan at Troon from the Somerset side.

Although Troon kicked off in the glorious sunshine it was the Glens that looked lively from the start. Cammy Ross breaking down the right before switched the ball to the left where Sam McKee and Michael McMullin combined to win a corner kick which Dean Fulton cleared under pressure from McMullin.

Play began to flow back and forth with the visitors creating the better of the few chances on show. Shuggy Kerr broke down the right with two defenders giving chase and while Ross was tight on the right on the overlap the striker opted to cut inside to the edge of ‘D’ taking another defender out of play before slipping the ball into the box for the unmarked Crooks only for keeper Dale Burgess to race from his line and swipe the ball from his feet.

On 15 minutes Troon won a free-kick inside the Glens half after Crooks and Paul Paton closed down Mark Shankland. James Gallagher launched the kick high into the box where keeper David Markey came off his line to leap head and shoulders above all combatants to clutch the ball cleanly.

Glens countered with the lively Ross driving down the right to the half way line before clipping the ball infield for Cross to push on before slipping it to McKee who progressed to the left-hand side of the box where he pinged the ball beyond the outstretched leg of Dale Moore, playing at right-back, to the near post for Kerr arriving in the six-yard box with Gallagher in close attention, only for his touch to send the ball wide of target.

At the other end Moore, down the right, whipped a ball deep into the six-yard box where Paton and Ollie Rowe, shut out Kyle Gilroy while Markey gratefully gathered the ball. Soon after Leyton Dunlop, from the right, on the outskirts of the box, chipped the ball to the near post for Fulton but he lost control under pressure from Paton. McKee gathered the loose ball and played a slick one-two with Ross to break up the left but his attempt to pick out Kerr was intercepted by Moore and with his back to McKee he tried to hook the ball over both their heads only for it to hit him full on the face as the Glens midfielder backed in.

A free kick was awarded and the ball fired up-field where it fell for Jack Sherrie deep on the left-hand side of the box to lay it off for Shankland, who with his back to goal turned and gave Kerr the slip before sweetly striking a powerful shot from a tight angle that crashed off the cross-bar and out of play with 21 minutes on the clock.

Glenafton responded immediately in a similar fashion. Kerr began a series of passes that included McKee, Ross and Gary Fraser before the ball was returned to Kerr to drive forward to the edge of the ‘D’ where he was brought down by Smith; hotly disputed by the Troon defenders. Up stepped Fraser to blast a shot that beat the four-man wall and Burgess rooted on his line only for the ball to thunder off the post and the rebound was cleared.

On 30 minutes Glens came close to breaking the dead-lock. By this time McKee and Ross had switched wings and it was the latter that gathered a ball floated deep into the left-hand side of the box over the head of Moore and from here he pushed across to the outskirts of the corner of the six-yard box to thread a low shot in the space between the keeper at the near post and the back-tracking El-Zubaidi and all three could only look on as it agonisingly drifted an inch wide of the back post.

Glens continued to press but were almost caught out as Kyle Gilroy burst into the six-yard box at breakneck speed and although he was first to get his foot to the ball the advancing Markey got enough of a touch and Craig Pettigrew quickly hooked the loose ball to safety. Soon after the keeper leapt at the back post to punch a corner-kick away from the head of the likewise leaping El-Zubaidi.

Back came Glens to finish the half strongly. Crooks floated a high ball into the box for the inrushing Kerr at the back post only for Smith to intercept at full stretch and hook the ball back to the outskirts of the box where it was trapped by Ross before he pushed towards the bye-line and whipped the ball past two defenders towards Kerr, still at the back post, only for El-Zubaidi to intervene with a more acrobatic clearance than his team-mate Smith; the former Glens defender was have an outstanding game.

Crooks and Paton combined to release McKee down the right only for his cross to be cut out by Sherrie at the expense of a corner which McKee floated high into the goalmouth which was scrambled clear.

Another super run by Ross had Fulton literally chasing shadows on the sun-drenched Portland Park and Dunlop was next up but he opted instead to hurl the Glens man to aforementioned sun-drenched park! Paton curled a great free-kick to the heavily populated far corner of the six-yard box but there was no aerial battle and the ball deflected wide to a corner from the right. Again McKee floated it high into the goalmouth and although it dipped over the heads of aerial combatants Kerr and El-Zubaidi it was McMullin’s glancing header that battered of the back-post guarded by Moore and incredibly rebounded back across the face of goal through the narrow gap between the keeper and McMullin and on through the group congregated at the back post where eventually Rowe positioned himself to volley a low shot that was either blocked by Burgess or hit the back post and it was Rowe that was first to react to gather the rebound only for this shot from a tight angle to fly wide of target.

Quite a finish to a competitive first half.

HT Troon 0 Glens 0

Although Glens kicked off still under glorious sunshine it was Troon that looked lively from the start of the second half.

Shankland cracked a low angled shot from the ‘D’ which flew inches wide of the far post with Markey rooted on his line at the near post. Soon after Moore’s effortfrom close range flew over the bar under pressure from McMullin.

Play went back and forth for a short spell before Troon were back on the front foot.

Gilroy cut in from the left and side-stepped Pettigrew before curling a shot from the outskirts of the six yard that slipped wide of the far post. A minute late Moore from tight on the right clipped a ball to the near post where Shankland’s glancing header bounced of the base of the far post and Lyall Holding mopped up the loose ball.

Paton broke down another Troon attack and launched the ball up the park for Kerr to chase with El-Zubaidi for company and the big defender sent a high looping header towards his own box only for Kerr to continue to the chase, forcing keeper Burgess to rush to the 18 yard line to leap with the Glens striker and get the first touch to the ball before exiting the box momentarily!

Glens pushed forward in numbers and Sherrie found himself boxed in at the corner before squaring to Dunlop to whip the ball up the left where Kyle Gilroy nicked the ball from Paton just inside the Troon half before tearing down the left with Rowe in pursuit, however a clean pair of heels took him deep into the box before slotting the ball past Markey from a tight angle to put the home side ahead on 58 minutes.

Glens made a change with Sam McKee making way for Liam Caddis to partner Kerr up front.

Ross pushed forward for the Glens driving between two blue shirts before being tripped by a third. Fraser stepped up to leather a free kick from 28 yards that beat the wall and continued goalwards, only for Burgess to keep his eye on the ball and smother it on the line as Rowe closed in.

From just inside the Troon half Kerr threaded a ball up field where Caddis stayed onside before giving chase and leaving El-Zubaidi and Moore in his wake, however once again the alert Burgess raced out his box and swiped the ball clear of Caddis. However, Ross gathered the loose ball wide on the left belted up the left wing before whipping the ball across the face of the goal by which time Burgess had returned to the near post and pull off a fine save, pushing the ball up into the air beyond the reach of Caddis lurking at the back post, nevertheless he recovered the ball and rolled it back to the incoming Crooks and although his shot looked to give Burgess little chance, Smith intervened and cleared it from the six yard line.

At the other end Shankland’s low diagonal shot from inside the box was well held by Markey.

Back came Glens and Holding from deep on the right launched a high ball to the left hand-side of the box for Caddis only for Moore to get a touch at the expense of a corner which was curled to the near post and punched away by the leaping Burgess.

On 72 minutes Troon made a change with Ewan McLevy coming on for Dean Fulton and two minutes later Glens brought on Michael Moffat for Cammy Ross.

The home side came close to doubling their lead on 76 minutes as Gilroy cut into the right hand side of the box and evaded tackles from Pettigrew and Rowe before picking out the unmarked Shankland on the far end of six yard line to drill a low shot that beat the outstretched leg of Markey before smacking off the inside of the post sending the ball bouncing along the face of the goal where Moore from close range curled a shot round Rowe only for Pettigrew to head the ball off the line.

Glens countered through Moffat breaking up the left to the edge of the box and rolling the ball back for Kerr to fire a shot from 18 yards only for Burgess to pull off a fine save before Smith hooked the loose ball out of the danger area and initiating a deadlier counter which concluded with Kyle Gilroy again cutting into the right hand of the Glens box, drawing Markey from his line and skipping past him to fire the ball into the net from a narrow angle beyond the reach of the back-tracking Rowe; Troon 2-0 up on 77 minutes.

The visitors rallied and won a corner on the left which Fraser floated to a crowded near post where it was cleared back out towards Fraser who lobbed it high into the near post again where the keeper and Kerr challenged and both collapsed to the ground after a clash of heads. Play was stopped at the outskirts of the box and possession returned to Paton loft a high ball back into the box where the recovering Kerr won the header to send it deeper into the six yard box only for the recovering Burgess to claw the ball away from its target, Moffat.

On 83 minutes Mark Shankland rightly left to warm applause from the home support to be replaced by young Darion Viviani.

The visitors continued to press against a stubborn defence their closing chances were restricted to a Fraser shot from distance that flew wide of target and the Crooks shot from 25 yards that Smith bravely headed clear from the edge of the box.

Glenafton made one change to the side that started against Auchinleck two weeks ago with Cammy Ross replacing Dylan O’Kane (unavailable). Making his 100^th start for Glenafton was defender Ollie Rowe, congratulations Ollie.

Ollie Rowe in his 100th start for Glenafton

Opponents Beith are currently sitting his 2^nd in the league 4 points behind Clydebank with 3 games in hand.

Glens kicked off under the lights with Shuggy Kerr rolling the ball back to Paul Paton on the edge of the semi-circle from where he launched the ball high up-field with keeper Owen Stott keeping a close eye on its descent and leapt with an upstretched arm, just in case, as the ball dipped over the bar.

Michael McMullin nicked the ball from Aaron Mason just inside the Glens half which fell for Sam McKee to clip the ball up-field for Hugh Kerr to trap and lay off to Cammy Crooks on the overlap, who got the better of two defenders before drilling a low shot from just inside the box that beat Stott at full length only for the ball to drift wide of the far post.

At the other end Ciaran Diver did well to get on the end of a cross but his shot from close range flew inches over the bar.

Back came the home side through Paton floating a free-kick high into the box for Rowe at the back post only for an Beith interception to divert the ball out for a corner. McKee’s kick was met sweetly on the drop by McMullin and under pressure from Steve Noble he lashed a shot just high and wide of target.

On 12 minutes Daniel O’Neill pounced on a clearance from the Glens box to blast a shot from 30 yards that whizzed wide of the post. A minute later keeper David Markey did well to get down low and push away Mason’s strike from the edge of the box only for Diver to slam the loose ball into the net but from an offside position.

Diver then guided a looping header high into the 6 yard box for Mason to tee-up a spectacular volley only for Rowe to block it and beat Robbie Scullion to the loose ball only for it to fall for Alan Docherty to hit a low angled shot that Markey blocked with his feet sending the ball high into the air which was gathered and cleared by McMullin.

Beith continued to press and O’Neill, from wide on the left, whipped the ball into the heart of a busy box where Diver’s attempted strike headed skyward. Crooks brought the lively Paul Frize down at the edge of the box but the free-kick was blasted into the Glens wall and McKee hooked the ball up the park where although loan striker Kerr leapt to get a touch ahead of Scot Rough the ball was mopped up by fellow defenders.

The Glens then enjoyed a good spell.

Gary Fraser gathered a short throw from McMullin and whipped the ball into the box where Crooks sent a header wide of target.

On the half hour mark Cammy Ross picked up a pass from McKee on the edge of the ‘D’ and pinged it to Crooks wide on the right who rolled it back to Paton to curl a ball to the back post where Ewan Dunne’s clearing header was met by McMullin on the outskirts of the box to unleash a shot only for Stott to pull off a fine save to fingertip the ball over the bar. McKee’s corner was floated into the six-yard box where although Rowe won the aerial battle but the ball was hoofed out the box and eventually cleared.

Back game Glens through McKee, tight on the right on the half-way line, who slipped past Frize before clipping the ball forward to Crooks breaking through the middle who then fed Ross wide on the left. The midfielder cut inside to the edge of the ‘D’ and squared to Fraser on the right who couldn’t quite tee up his shot properly and his effort from edge of the box skewed wide of target.

Beith ventured forth and a long ball into the box saw Rowe outleap Diver and his header then headed out the box by Crooks which fell for Ewan Wilson at the edge of the ‘D’ to fire a low shot that drifted wide of the post.

Back up the park and Kerr chased down a ball into the box and with his back to goal was caught in a pocket of three defenders from which he escaped to side-foot the ball back to Fraser to blast a daisy-cutter from 25 yards only for Stott to stand firm on his line and drop to his knees to hold the ball cleanly.

Soon after Kerr collected the ball in the centre circle andpushed forward attracting another threesome including Docherty who opted to take the feet from the striker accepting the yellow card without fuss. Paton floated the free-kick into the box from where it returned immediately through a powerful header from Rough which was gathered by Frize but the promising counter-attack fizzled out thanks to Lyall Holding’s intervention.

Craig Pettigrew and Rowe combined to snuff out another counter-attack with the latter heading the ball back to the safe hands of Markey. Back came Beith with another fine run by Mason down the left only for his cut-back from bye-line to be intercepted by the back-tracking McKee. Mason floated the corner kick to the back post where Pettigrew leapt head and shoulders above two of the Mighty to head the ball to the outskirts of the box where Fraser gathered and displayed a clean pair of heels as he left Frize in his wake before clipping the ball up the left for Ross to chase down and then cut inside past two defenders to square to the inrushing Crooks only for his shot from the ’D’ to fly over the bar.

An even 45 minutes drew to a close with the game goal-less.

HT Glens 0 Beith 0

Beith kicked off and were soon in action with a high ball into the box where Markey and Diver leapt together at the near post and the striker managed to head it from the keeper’s clinch only for Markey to reclaim it after the first bounce.

Play then raged back and forth with both keepers coming off their lines to collect the ball.

On 55 minutes Beith made a double substitution with Alan Dochery and Steven Noble making way for Andy Monk and Carlo Monti.

Soon after Glens won a corner-kick which McKee floated deep into the 6-yard box and Stott leapt to punch it with both fists well clear the box where Paton gathered and lofted a high ball back into a packed box. Rowe won the header and the ball fell for McMullin to hit a volley from 16 yards which appeared to strike off the raised hand of Rough, which immediately saw all the Glens players in the vicinity raise their hands claiming hand-ball, but no joy from the referee who was well positioned.

Diver then had a chance from the ‘D’ but shot wide of target under pressure from Pettigrew. Soon after Mason cut in from the left and from the corner of the penalty box cracked a vicious shot between two defenders only for the diving Markey to smother it at the corner of the six-yard box. The visitors continued to press and Monk pushed forward before drilling a shot from 25 yards that crashed off the crossbar with Markey beaten but the keeper kept his wits about him and leapt to tip rebound away from the head of Diver who seemed certain to score.

Monti broke down the right and cut along the bye-line where a well timed tackle at the edge of the box by Ross prevented the cross at the expense of a corner which was punched off the line by Markey under pressure from Diver.

On 65 minutes Glens made a double substitution with Liam Caddis and Michael Moffat coming on for the Cammy Ross and Shuggy Kerr, his shift as a lone striker over and both players earning appreciative response from the home support.

Pollok however kept up the pressure with Mason’s shot from the edge of the box and soon after Frize broke into the left hand-side of a busy box and laid it off to Diver who rolled it back to the edge of box where Monk thumped a low angled shot that beat Markey only for McMullin to keep his cool and clear the ball off the line.

On 74 minutesr Gary Fraser who had covered every blade of grass, picked up a booking, and was wisely substituted with the fresh legs of Alex McWaters.

Glens won a free-kick at the right corner of the penalty box from where Paton chipped into a packed box which was headed clear for Crooks to snap up and then set up McWaters for a shot that was blocked and the rebound gathered by McMullin but his shot was blocked by a wall of defenders.

On 82 minutes the visitors made their final substitution with Robbie Scullion making way for Mikey Williams. Beith pressed but Markey was mopping up any balls into the box,

Glens countered with a slick break as Moffat broke forward and almost effortlessly glided past two defenders before cracking a shot from the edge of the box only for Stott on his six-yard to pull off a fine save and push the ball round the post.

Owen Stott saves Michael Moffat’s rocket.

McKee lofted the corner high to back post where Paton sent a high looping header back towards the near post and Crooks downward header looked to sneak in at the base of the post only for Stott at full stretch to tip it round the post again. McKee floated the ball deep into the six-yard box over a clutch of heads and try as he might Paton could not get the ball under control.

Beith countered and although Docherty run along the length of the 18-yard line he could not find a crack in the Glens defence to break into the box. The wily Frize had other ideas as he weaved past four red shirts and into the box but met his match with Pettigrew’s block, albeit at the expense of a corner kick on the right. Caddis won the header deep in the goalmouth sending the ball out for a corner on the left which was then scrambled clear by McWaters.

Into added time and Beith launched a long throw from the right deep into the box where Frize’s header at the near post fell for Monk at the back post who blasted the ball over the bar from 3 yards out!

The visitors won a free kick just inside the Glens half, tight on the right flank, where Monti floated it deep into the box only for Pettigrew to beat two of the Mighty and power a header to this side of the centre circle.

Soon after McWaters broke up the right and chipped the ball over the head of a defender to breech the box and then picked out Caddis who was forced out the box only for his return pass to McWaters to be intercepted and cleared.

The last throw of the dice, on 94 minutes, saw three players from each side, challenge for a Beith throw into the box and was the Men in Red that forced the ball out the box only to be recovered by the Galaxy Defenders (Men in Black) to set up a shot for the tireless Frize from the 18-yard line but with the red shirts closing in, the ball flew high and wide of target.

Glenafton Athletic	2 (1)	Kerr 2

Tues 02 Apr 2024	KO 7:30 pm	Loch Park, New Cumnock

Glenafton made one change from the eleven that started against Irvine Meadow XI on Saturday with Dylan O’Kane replacing Michael Moffat.

In Auchinleck’ starting line-up was former Glenafton goalie Aidan Glavin while former Glens midfielder Michael Wardrope was on the bench.

Glenafton got off to a great start with a goal on 6 minutes. Captain Craig Pettigrew intercepted Gareth Armstrong’s ball into the Glens box knocking it forward to Sam McKee who rolled it back to Paul Paton and from deep in his own half he launched the ball upfield for Shug Kerr to chase into the Talbot box and although the back-tracking Neil Slooves got the first touch he lost control under pressure from Kerr who nicked the ball before holding off another challenge from the inrushing Aiden Wilson and then stepping aside of Slooves to curl a powerful shot from 12 yards into the net beyond the reach of the keeper .

The visitors responded well and created several chances

A corner floated in from the left to the back post saw Michael McMullin win the aerial battle only for the ball to edge of the box where a low shot was drilled through a ruck of players and cleared off the goal-line by Lyall Holding. Talbot won a free-kick wide on the right and as they packed the Glens box the ball was played short down the right before a good break deep into the box for the ball to be played back to the six-yard line where Slooves did well to divert it goalwards but lacking the power to trouble keeper David Markey.

Midway through the half Markey double fisted a corner-kick, curled to the top corner of the back post, far upfield where it was collected by Ali Boyle before unleashing a thundering shot from 30 yards only for the keeper to push the ball straight up high in the air and then catch it cleanly on its descent. Talbot continued to press and Neil McPherson from the outskirts of the box played a perfectly weighted pass into the box to match Tarek Abed’s diagonal run to the corner of the six yard only to sky the ball over the outrushing Markey and high over the bar.

Glens responded with Kerr chasing a long ball down the right put pressure on Slooves to play the ball back to keeper Glavin who quickly played to McPherson on the opposite side of the box but the defender got into a fankle on the outskirts of the box and was stripped off the ball by the inrushing McKee to break forward to lash a low diagonal shot from 15 yards that the advancing Glavin did well to push out towards the touchline. Gary Fraser gathered the loose ball and played a one-two with Paton before launching it high into the goalmouth only for the ball to drift wide of the back post, while Cammy Crooks claim of being barged in the box waswaved away.

HT Glens 1 Auchinleck 0

Auchinleck got off to great start and equalised 6 minutes in the second half. Schoneville curled a vicious free-kick from 22 yards round the Glens wall and the ball seemed certain to find the top corner of the net only for Markey to leap and push it over the bar with a strong hand. The corner-kick, from the right, was whipped into a packed box and a flying header saw the ball shoot back to the corner from where it had come and was then clipped to the back post where Neil Slooves leapt, head and shoulders above the defence, to guide a header into the net.

Soon after Ross Smith gathered the ball on the ‘D’ and cut into the box to fire a low diagonal shot that Markey did well to block with his feet. Talbot continued to press with some fine build up play. McPherson from inside the Glens half rolled a ball up to the right had corner of the box where Abed played the ball, with a cute back heel, into the path of the incoming Boyle to progress towards the six-yard box and play a square pass to Connor Boyd, however he struggled to get the ball under control through pressure from Holding and Fraser and stumbled to the ground, the chance gone. Back came the visitors and McPherson pushed to the bye-line before cutting the ball across the face of goal where Markey dived at the feet of the inrushing striker to clutch the ball.

Markey launched the ball far up field where Kerr trapped it and laid it off to Cammy Crooks to drive into the box and as he tried to skip past Slooves the defender appeared to try and take the feet from Crooks and then pulled him back by his arm, sending him crashing to the ground, to the astonishment of the players, his team-mates and the home ground, the referee waved play on!!

Back came the visitors through Schoneville launching a long high ball up the left which was headed on and then chased down by Smith to progress to the edge of the ‘D’ to fire a low shot only to be pushed wide by Markey who had rushed some 15 yards off his goal line. Soon after a determined run by Abed saw him break into the right-hand side of the box to and weave paste defenders before squaring the ball along the six-yard line where Smith let it run by him before swivelling to lash an angled shot that beat Markey but slipped inches wide of the back post.

On 78 minutes it was the home side that broke the deadlock after winning a free-kick just short of 30 yards from goal. McMullin lined up to take the kick but rather than have a shot at goal he floated it over the Talbot wall and the unmarked Shug Kerr was free to drift between two defenders into the six-yard box and sweep the ball home.

Kerr came close to hitting hat-trick in the closing minutes. Paton released McKee down the right to drive to the bye-line before whipping a ball to the far side of the box for the incoming Cammy Ross and although his shot was blocked the ball fell for Crooks. The lively midfielder then broke into the box only to be forced wide to the left-hand side and clip the ball back into the goal mouth where Kerr was first to react to win the ball and drill a low shot from inside the six-yard box only for it to slip wide of the keeper’s outstretched leg and agonisingly wide of the post.

There was still time for Talbot to seek out an equaliser. A corner kick from the left was punched clear from under the bar by Markey and gathered by Boyd on the outskirts of the right hand side of the box from where he played a one-two with McPherson before driving deep into the box and whipping low ball across the face of goal but their were to be no takers and the chance was gone.

Irvine Meadow XI	2 (1)	McDowall, Cruden
Glenafton Athletic	4 (1)	Moffat, O’Kane, Kerr, Fraser
Sat 30 Mar 2024	KO 2:00 pm	Meadow Park, Irvine

Glenafton made one change from the eleven that started against Arthurlie with Cammy Crooks making way for Hugh Kerr.

Hosts Meadow were sitting bottom of the league with 12 points from 23 games while Glens sat 3 places below with 20 points from 20 games as both sides went on search of precious points.

It was the home side that took an early lead on 5 minutes after winning a free-kick a few yards inside the visitors’ half. George Sewell lofted the ball high into the Glens where Brendan Sharpe won the aerial battle with Michael McMullin to head the ball on for the alert Jack McDowall to guide his header into the net from 12 yards out.

Glens drew level on 15 minutes after keeper David Markey launched the ball upfield only to be headed high back towards the half-way line where Paul Paton on the run sent a looping header over the top of the Meadow defence to the edge of the box where Hugh Kerr nicks the ball as Stuart Davidson tries to get it under control and then draws the keeper to the corner of the six- yard box before rolling the ball across the box toward the penalty box for Michael Moffat.

HT Meadow 1 Glens 1

Into the second half and the visitors made a couple of changes with Cammy Ross and Michael Moffat making way for Alex McWaters and Dylan O’Kane. Play continued to ebb back and forth and a Meadow corner from the right clipped off a head to run out for a throw-in to the Glens on the opposite of the park. Gary Fraser took a quick throw to McWaters and on picking up the return ball he launched it long and high up the flank for Dylan O’Kane to chase and gather of the corner of the box and his quick feet took him to the corner of the six-yard box unchallenged and slip it past the keeper and into the net. Glens 2-1 up on 69 minutes.

Back came Meadow to draw level on 74 minutes following a game of head tennis between both sides to and fro across the half-way line after the ball fell for Simon McBryde to gather and burst down the right before squaring the ball into the box where the incoming Thomas Cruden met it sweetly to rifle it home from 15 yards out.

Another Meadow break down the right, ended with the ball into the box being cleared and snapped up by O’Kane who instantly rolled it back to Paton, before heading upfield at speed. Meanwhile Paton slipped the ball to McWaters on the right to chip a perfectly weighted forward pass over the head of a defender and to match O’Kane’s run who took a touch before breaking into the box only to be bundled to the ground by the back-tracking Stuart Davidson. Up stepped Shug Kerr to slam the spot kick past keeper Kyle King to put the Glens 3-2 up on 79 minutes.

Glens made another change with Sam McKee making way for Cammy Crooks.

The visitors added a fourth on 86 minutes after Paton gathered the ball tight on the right-hand touchline, just inside the Glens’ half, from where he picked out Kerr with an exquisite lob up the wing which was trapped by the striker who then held off Sewell and Paul O’Byrne to drive deep into the Meadow box and cut the ball across the face of the goal for the inrushing Gary Fraser to kill it with his left foot before slotting it home with his right foot from 6 yards out.

Glenafton 1 Arthurlie 1

Glenafton Athletic	1 (1)	McKee

Tues 26 Mar 2024	KO 7:30 pm	Loch Park, New Cumnock

Prior to kick-off a minute’s silence was held in memory of former Glenafton player and lifelong supporter John Hamilton who sadly passed away last week.

Glenafton made one change to the eleven that started against Cumnock Juniors on Saturday with Cammy Crooks replacing Hugh Kerr (unavailable).

Prior to kick-off a minute’s silence was held in memory of former Glenafton player and lifelong supporter John Hamilton who sadly passed away week.

With a 7:30pm kick-off the match was played under the Loch Park lights with biting cold wind blowing from east to west along the length of the pitch. The home side kicked off with the wind at their back once, that is, the ball could be settled on the centre spot!

Although Arthurlie enjoyed some early possession including some goalmouth scrambles. However, Glenafton soon got a grip of the game recent signings Cammy Cross and Cammy Ross looking lively in their first home game.

It was good build up play down the left with Crooks, Mick McMullin and Sam McKee combining before the latter engineered his was into a busy box. From here McKee clipped fashioned a shot that had the home support filling their lungs with the cold air in anticipation, as the ball seemed at first to be heading wide of the back post only to curl as commanded and find the space between the upright and keeper Clarke at full stretch before bulging the net. Breathe out and cue celebrations Glens 1-0 on 12 minutes.

The Glens continued to press and the strong wind was playing with havoc the keeper’s several not getting any distance and swerving out for throw-ins. The home side won several corner-kick, including three in quick succession but it was visitors’ rearguard that were winning the aerial battles.

Arthurlie weathered the storm and drew level on 35 minutes. A determined break down the left saw them keep possession winning tackle after tackle leaving a ‘Lie attacker free to chase a loose ball making its way into the edge of the box forcing keeper David Markey to race from his line and the collision that followed earned him a booking and Arthurlie a penalty. Up stepped Dylan Dykes to slam home the equaliser.

Glens responded an won a couple of free-kicks on the outskirts of the box the second which McMullin floated to the back post where Ollie Rowe won the aerial battle to head the ball home but deemed to be from an offside position.

HT Glens 1 Arthurlie 1

Arthurlie made a double substitution at the break with Lee Roulston and Tam McGaughey making way for Conor Bolger and Max Kerr. The wind had eased, but just a little, while the temperature dropped in harmony.

Play raged back and forth with few clear-cut chances on show. Glens brought on fresh legs with Cammy Ross coming off to warm applause and replaced by Dylan O’Kane. There were now four players on the park calling Dylan – all blowing in the wind.

O’Kane looked lively in an around the box and won a free kick at the edge of the ‘D’ but this too was cleared by the ‘Lie defence.

Glenafton’s best chance of the half fell to Michael Moffat who won the ball on the left, just inside the ‘Lie half, and then skipped past two defenders to the corner of the box before drilling a low angled shot that beat the keeper but drifted inches wide of the back post.

At the other end Arthurlie came close to grabbing all three points with a cracking volley that crashed off the cross bar. In a further push for the winner, they brought on striker Scott Anson for Dykes.

However, both sides had to settle for a share of the points.
