A disappointing result in what was a great game.

A great game having already drawn 4-4 with Torrance at home in the first

A poor result to one of the league challengers down in Irvine.
A couple of players out ill or injured meant a few changes to the starting 11 but despite matching Clark Drive in playing good football slack defending and losing players from wide positions was our undoing. We were 1-0 down after around 15 minutes and a second was scored just before half time.

A second league win against Vale of Clyde in 2 weeks - this time morecomprehensive than last week's 4-3 win.
Played on astrograss at Toryglen we started very sluggishly and playerswere making the wrong choices with passes. Alistair Gardner slipped at the half way line and the Vale striker ran half the length of the pitch to score in the first couple of minutes. It got worse shortly after when Craig Blair was pushed in the back and his arm then struck the ball. The referee rather than give us a foul gave Vale a penalty and we were 2-0 down inside 10 minutes.

A good result against a team with a  similar league record as ourselves.

A tough looking tie for Busby agaianst probably the best team at our age group in West of Scotland for last few years. Our task didn't get any easier when Hillwood scored after only about 5 minutes when we didn't clear a free kick into the box. For the rest of the first half we played by far the better football and dominated possession without creating clear cut chances. The Hillwood GK was excellent and held all the shots on his goal.

An excellent win against a team that had beaten us by the same scorline earlier this season. East End started the brighter and caused us a few problems with theirheight up front without creating any clear cut chances. Busby gradually got the upper hand and down the right wing we were getting a lot of space with Kyle Alexander involved in a  lot of the link play.

A good win in the Regional Cup 1st Round, a week after our disappointment in losing in the Scottish Cup. We started casually and lost an early goal. However we got 2 quick goals back with Kyle Maxwell hitting home after good harrying work by Alistair Brown and then Kyle Alexander scored on his debut. It was a tough game with some hard challenges but although we couldn't add to the scoring we had the best of the goal scoring chances. Next round is home to Hillwood in mid January.

Replay held in Aberdeen following 1-1 draw at home two weeks earlier.
A tough game with Cove certainly 'up for it' after the draw in the first game. Clear cut chances were few and far between but after half an hour we got the breakthrough when Alistair Brown scored from close range after a cutback.
At the start of the second half we went 2-0 up after Jack Gaskell got to the bye line and crossed and David Cairns scored, again from close range. At this stage we appeared to be in control but could take nothing for grantedwith 40 minutes to go.
