Budgie’s Bit
In the build up to last Saturdays game, I had been told by a few of my sources that Cumnock had improved as a team from last season and having now seen them for myself at close quarters I would tend to agree with that. Having said that, all the players were a wee bit disappointed not to have taken maximum points. We had the better of the play and created a few good chances for the first hour of the game but Nock got on top of us after getting their equaliser with 25 minutes to go. I could say that if we had got the all important second goal while on top I’ve no doubt we would’ve came back up the road with all three points but I also think we should be able to win games by a single goal. I suppose a point from this fixture isn’t a disaster although the manner of the way we conceded the goal was extremely disappointing. It was pleasing to hear that we received a bye in the first round of the Scottish Cup as I’m happy enough to receive any favours that are going in pursuit of a good cup run. Today we welcome Irvine Meadow to Holm Park for more League business. There is no doubt this could be a tough test as they have yet to experience defeat in the League, but our guys will know they will need to keep their individual performances at a decent level with cup final places up for grabs the following week. I think we can expect to see many changes from last season’s Irvine squad but many of their players will have a familiar look about them. The old Ashfield management team of Stevie Rankin and Murdie McKinnon are now in charge at the Ayrshire club and they have taken a significant amount of players with them and I’m sure many of our supporters will recognise them from our many exchanges in recent years with the Saracen Park club. We have to get back to winning ways if we are serious about staying near the top end of the League and we also want to head into next week’s final with as much confidence as possible so please get right behind the boys and give them as much vocal backing as possible.
Enjoy the game. Billy McGhie

As the heavens opened the hardy 288 fans dived for cover and it was end-to-end stuff as both sides pushed for a winner. Too often Clydebank’s final ball was slack though and the closest they came was a McPherson header that flashed wide and then a free-kick from the same player that flew over the bar.
Nock looked dangerous going forward but were kept at bay by some brave defending by Paul Bell, who took a couple of sore ones, and Ross www.weddellsgarage.co.uk Campbell and in the end a 1-1 draw was a fair email [email protected] result, although some would say the weather was the winner.
There were several candidates for man of the match but Bell pips James Lundie and Chris McKnight and he can take it as a bravery award for putting his body on the line to stop Nock at all costs.

Clydebank ruled the first half but paid the A nervy penalty shoot-out could easily have gone the other way but the players kept their cool to make it through to face Pollok. penalty for converting just one of their chances as the home side battled We all expected the final to be played on a midweek night but were pleasantly surprised when we back in horrendous conditions.

The fact that it is against our friends from Newlandsfield adds spice to the occasion. It was wet from the start of the match and Bankies rained in shots on the Both sides have great supports so the Maryhill ground will be packed for what will hopefully be a Nock goal. Chris Wilson’s early effort was pushed to safety by keeper Ally memorable final. As Bill will tell you, the cup run will also bring in revenue we hadn’t budgeted for Semple then a McPherson free-kick was blocked. Nock’s first chance fell which will help compensate the club for the difficult start to the season. to Robert Love after a weak Robert Hamilton clearance but his shot was Since the semi-final win we have managed to take four points from a possible six in the League. off target. A win at home to Kirkintilloch Rob Roy was followed by a point on the road against Cumnock. In 24 minutes a powerful run by McPherson took him past two defenders In both these matches there were difficult periods when the opposition had the upper hand although I and into the box and although his shot beat Semple it also evaded the far would say over the piece we were the better side. corner. Minutes later the on-form Bankie had better luck. Wilson found One thing that seems clear though is that this is going to be a fiercely competitive season and every him with a pinpoint crossball and he drilled a superb shot into Semple’s win will be precious. Another thing, our players look up for it and when you have that going for you right-hand corner. then there is every chance you can make your mark.
A Jamie Campbell shot was blocked and Joe Andrew went close as Stevie McLaren, Budgie and I went along to meet our friends at the Clydebank Co-op to finalise a two Bankies piled on the pressure but Cumnock were relieved to go in at the break just one down. Bankies came out year extension to our sponsorship deal. We were delighted to conclude negotiations on improved in the second half playing down the slope and with a strong wind behind them but it was the home men who terms thanks to a incentive package that rewards the team’s success. adapted better to the worsening conditions. It was great to hear how pleased the Co-op have been with us and how we also help to increase their public profile. A Wilson shot was well saved by Semple before Cumnock levelled after 62 minutes. A mistake by Bankies skipper The Co-op have been great sponsors and it is great to have them commit to us until 2016. Austin McCann led to a home throw and the ball found Love.

The former Ashfield gaffer has an excellent record here by memory of Bankies fans Bill winning five of his seven games in charge of the Saracen Park outfit at this ground. He left the Glasgow side Parker and Charlie Hudson to take over the reins at the Ayrshire giants and took with him a large number of his former charges and they who sadly passed away in the will be in expectant mood for today’s clash. Irvine Meadow have faced Bankies twice at Holm Park and have week leading up to the Rob yet to take a point after going down 3-1 two seasons ago and losing by the only goal last term. Roy match.

Top Goalscorers The departure of Chris Strain and the vast majority of his players means that this brand new side don’t carry that particular monkey on their backs but their supporters will no doubt be looking for signs of an Player Team League Cup Total improvement at this ground if they are to be challenging for the title this term. The bookmakers don’t share Willie Sawyers Rob Roy 4 9 13 any optimism that the Medda fans may have as they rate them as mid-table at best for the season. Chris Mackie Petershill 6 6 12 The loss of a striker of the quality of Richie Barr, by far the top scorer at the club last season, made many David Gormley Auchinleck Talbot 9 3 12 neutrals believe that the Ayrshire men would struggle for goals this time around although this was slightly Mick McCann Auchinleck Talbot 0 8 8 compensated for by the arrivals of Chris Hall and Paul Maxwell from Ashfield. In five group games in the Ian Diack Pollok 1 7 8 sectional league cup they did manage twenty goals but that was insufficient for them to qualify for the knock out phase as newly promoted Hurlford United and Kilbirnie Ladeside finished above them in the Robert Love Cumnock 4 4 8 table to send the holders crashing out of the competition. Both clubs have made decent starts to their Stewart Kean Hurlford Utd 1 7 8 league campaigns with Medda the slightly happier team after taking seven points from three games Bryan Young Auchinleck Talbot 3 5 8 against Bankies seven from four played. New boys Hurlford United make up the trio of clubs on the seven Richie Barr Pollok 5 3 8 point mark with last season’s champions Auchinleck Talbot setting the early pace on twelve points and a Paul Maxwell Irvine Meadow 2 4 6 100% winning league record thus far. Talbot do not have a league game this afternoon so a win for either John Dempster Hurlford Utd 0 6 6 side is needed today to close the gap a little. Nobody can afford to give the Beechwood Park side too Aaron Connolly Glenafton Athletic 2 4 6 much of a start if they are to challenge them for the title but it doesn’t mean a defeat is the end of the world Gary Smith Arthurlie 4 2 6 either as there are still many points to be won before anyone can claim the league crown. Gareth Armstrong Glenafton Athletic 0 5 5 This is possibly the sternest test that Irvine Meadow have faced in the league so far. Their opening league Chris Craig Kilbirnie Ladeside 1 4 5 fixtures looked favourable on paper, from their perspective, with games against two newly promoted teams Michael Reilly Auchinleck Talbot 0 5 5 and another against a club who have recently changed management and lost a number of established Paul Woods Petershill 0 5 5 players. Stevie Rankin’s men haven’t been found wanting and delivered seven points from these three Joe Andrew Clydebank 1 4 5 fixtures although the highly critical observer would suggest they should have taken all nine from a set of fixtures like that. If they win their game in hand, which happens to be against Hurlford, then they could Stevie Dymock Arthurlie 0 4 4 close the gap at the top to just two points. However, some Meadow fans have already written off their Tommy Martin Clydebank 0 4 4 prospects of challenging for league honours this season as the club has undergone massive changes from Ciaran McElroy Clydebank 1 3 4 last term and the rebuilding may take some time to bear fruit. It is fair to say that the style of play that Stevie Rankin’s Ashfield side adopted doesn’t win many fans amongst the Clydebank support. That said it Results 7th September 2013 BIGGEST HOME WIN was very effective for them in games played at Holm Park as they won here on a regular basis. Irvine Aug 31st 13 Auchinleck Arthurlie 6-0 Arthurlie 2 Petershill 2 Meadow fans are used to their side playing open football and not the “spoiling” game that Ashfield seemed Cumnock 1 Clydebank 1 to play. It remains to be seen if the new Medda gaffer will have his charges playing in the old Ashfield style BIGGEST AWAY WIN and if that goes down well with the fans. At the end of the day it is all about winning points but Irvine Hurlford Utd 4 Largs Thistle 0 Aug 24th 13 Arthurlie Clydebank 2-5 Meadow and Clydebank fans alike much prefer to see their teams playing well when they take the field. Irvine Meadow 1 Kilbirnie Ladeside 0 However if it means that, on occasion, “winning ugly” is necessary then the supporters will take that as no HIGHEST AGGREGATE SCORE points have ever been awarded for playing well and losing. A victory for Clydebank this afternoon would Kirky Rob Roy 2 Auchinleck Talbot 4 Aug 24th 13 Arthurlie Clydebank 2-5 go some way in helping the club in its ambition to finish the season in the top three yet again. Pollok 2 Glenafton Ath 2 Top Scoring Team Can Clydebank maintain their 100% winning record over Medda at Holm Park? Ninety minutes of football will tell.
