Quick mention for our referee yesterday v
@KilsythAth
, Ewan Dunn. Was a very balanced and mature young referee who handled himself excellently on the day. We need to support these talented young guys as they work their way up the ladder.👏
We are learning fast but outdone by the pace of play and experience across the Bankies' squad. Proud of our young team and the performance and looking forward to getting back to league action next week. Good luck
@clydebankfc
for the remainder of the season.
FULL TIME:
@HarmonyRow1915
0 - 5 Clydebank.
Bankies progress in the
@SouthChallenge
Cup with a good win thanks to goals from McKinlay, Little (2), Black and McPherson.
All the best to the guys at Harmony Row for the rest of the season and thanks for the warm hospitality 🤝
So that it all over! An amazing senior platform to take on to our new home,
@Giffnock_SC
from the 2023/24 season. From our first senior game for Harmony Row v
@GlenvaleFC67
in '21 to our final game v
@ThreaveRoversFC
, there have been many highs and lows. Onwards and upwards!
We are delighted to have the opportunity to join the

Giffnock stuck well to the game plan today to take the sting out of Glenvale's attack. A great result achieved with a young team, including five teenagers on the pitch - the

WOSFL Div 4 Promotions
Congratulations to
@GlenvaleAFC67
,
@ThornWOS
and
@LugarFC1878
on their promotions to Div 3. Glenvale led from the front all season, Thorn played a great brand of football and Lugar were resilient to the end. Best of luck next season!!
Well done again to Clarky for picking up his 4th MOTM for his 4th hattrick of the season. Top performance coming off the bench with less than half an hour to play.
Big shout out also to Alex Kerr from
@GiffnockSCU20s
for another clean sheet between the sticks!
A great way to round off 2023 for
@GiffnockWOSFL
on a terrible night for football. The team weathered the storm (in so many ways) to go in at half time 2-1 down after losing a couple of early goals. A resurgent performance in the second half rounded off the come back win.
... and while we're at it, MOTM was never in doubt today with a second half hat-trick and an assist in our high scoring draw with
@ekthistlefc
. Congratulations to Clarky again on his 5th MOTM of the season!
Great to have new signing, Stephen McFall (

) on board until the end of the season on loan from

Stephen grabbed a couple last weekend on his debut for the team in our win against Eglinton.
Welcome to the family Stephen!

Thanks again to our amazing
@PupilsAFC
hosts for looking after us again on Saturday. Three bus trips this season to the Mull of Kintyre (and one cancellation) and a lot of fun on the way back down the road. Looking forward to our visits next season!
Lost 4-1 today at home against Harmony Row we got back into the game briefly at 3-1 with a penalty scored by Donald McCallum. Shortly afterwards we were down to 10 men with a red card.
Impressive visitors sealed the game with a late goal.
Congratulations to Chrissy Drennan on his Top Goalscorer of the season award, narrowly pipping Harry Galloway to the post due to more assists. A star performance from midfield from the bravest player in the squad.
Great to see a strong turnout and an excellent session last night from the senior team in advance of getting back to competitive action again this weekend against
@EasterhouseFA
in the league. Good technical ball work from the boys, some ball work needed for the cameraman ...
Some great performances and MOTM contenders throughout the team in our game v
@PupilsAFC
but the stand out on the day with his hat-trick and his hold up play was Clarky at centre forward.
Taking advantage of the weather, we took the chance to train inside last night. A great session in the gym at 4 Corners Boxing in Johnstone and a huge thank you to Kevin McIntyre for putting the boys (and Arnaud!) through their paces!!
🥊⚽
Big shout out to Danny O'Neill ho has gone from strength to strength since stepping up to
@BeithJuniorsFC

We visit

Again, looking for a strong

A battling performance today and a hard earned point against a resurgent

Last game of a challenging season for

Another great MOTM performance from
#21
Johnny Brown at Left Back against
@PupilsAFC
yesterday as part of a consistent and settled defence with real attacking intent. Congratulations on his second MOTM of the season!
Today we say our sad farewells to a Harmony Row stalwart, Alex McKean, who has been an integral part of the success of his club and the 21s over the last two decades. Our sincere condolences to his family from all at the club and from his 21s team.
Strong performance today and a sold 3 points to start off 2024. A great debut performance and 2 goals from Stephen McFall (on loan from
@Maryhill_FC
) and an assist and goal each from Cammy M and Aidan. All the best to our friends at
@Eglinton_FC
for the rest of the season.
Man of the Match for today's game, as voted by his teammates and Coaches, is
#18
Conor Boyle.
Conor took the step up to Senior football this year from our under 17s squad. Youngest player in the squad - if you're good enough you are old enough.
Congratulations Conor!
Another strong performance and great to get the 3 points on the board against a young
@SaltcoatsVicsFC
on a "four seasons in one day" sort of day in Saltcoats. Excellent second half performance from

from our
@GiffnockSCU20s
between the sticks - the pathway is working.
MOTM v
@ThornWOS
MOTM performance, as voted by the team, from Aidan Donaghy with a goal and assist in our win over Thorn the other evening.
He has contributed in almost all games this year with 13 goals and assists out of our our 57 goals in the league to date.
The boys took it indoors again last night at
@MOBOSportsAcad
in Paisley. Great session all round and big thanks to Burton O'Brien for hosting us at his excellent facility.
A score representing a much better performance against a both technical and physically strong
@eglinton_fc
team in our midweek game. Defensively secure and creative going forward. Thanks again to
@eglinton_fc
for their hospitality and best of luck for the rest of the season.
We have been quietly working hard in the background making plans for the season ahead. Player announcements and player sponsors coming soon but, in the meantime, a huge thank you to all of our team sponsors who are supporting us this year.
Huge congratulations to all at
@ThornWOS
on their entirely merited promotion to Division 3. A great team with a strong local following and good to see another grassroots team making its way up the
@OfficialWoSFL
divisions.

Strong controlled performance from

unbeaten. Great facility and hospitality. Positive comments from

Alex McKean, Mr Harmony Row and stalwart of the 21s management team and league set up, sadly passed away yesterday. He will be missed by all of his friends at the club.
