Second half fight back and we secured 3 points with goals from degnan and Harrison. Tremendous work rate throughout the team and deserved the victory . Kilsyth 2 Cnauld 1 ft
Sad to report the passing of Tam Finnie. Tam set up and can the supporters travel club which ran buses to all away games for many years. A loyal and vocal supporter of the team.
Well earned 3 points yesterday on what turned out to be a mud bath of a pitch. Phil Dolan with a rare header opened the scoring and a fine run through the middle and cool finish from Kelly secured the win. Great team effort . We can win Away !!😀 No goals for Salim!! Great run 👏
Great result today in a entertaining cup tie. We started on the front foot and looked dangerous from the off. Medda had wee spells and hit the post with a rasping free kick as well as a missed pen. Much deserved victory and delighted for Goldie and his team. (Salim) and (Kelly)
Great performance today on a beautiful day at Duncansfield . Despite falling behind early we dominated the game and the energy levels were a credit to the players on such a hot day. Wouldn't be fair to single anyone out . Well done lads .
Hard fought victory today at home to Ashfield. Ashfield showed why they sit second top as they battled back from 2 down at break. A late penalty for Ashfield made it a nervous ending as we held out for a big 3pts. Prentice and Stewart with the goals for Kilsyth.
Massive 3pts for the team today away at Vale of Clyde. Tony Hampson and Div Waters with the goals in the first half and a pair of beauty's they were. Vale hit back on stroke of half time. The second half was a tense affair, but we held firm . Final score Vale 1 Kilsyth 2
Safely through to the next round in a keenly contested game at Rothie Rovers . Gary Stewart with his 9th of the season with first half strike . We held on towards the end but the back 4 and Carlin were resolute in defence.
Rothie 0 Kilsyth 1 ft
Gary Campbell picks up his mom award after a bagging 2 goals to help his team recover from a poor first half that saw us trail 2 nil at the break. Gary's 2 goals after Prentice has converted a pen secured the points. Thanks to Ewan Ross for sponsoring yesterday's award.
A trio of new signings tonight as we continue the drive to get back on track . Oliver Tobin comes in on an initial loan deal from Shotts along with Daniel Haskim, who has completed a permanent deal. Completing the trio is Kelvin Daniels, who has appeared as a trialist recently
