 Welcome to Townhead Park
The Manager’s Preview

I’d like to welcome the Kilbirnie Ladeside committee, management,

players and supporters to Townhead Park for today’s game.

We are now two league games into our campaign and I’m very pleased
with the start we have made. Last Saturday I thought we thoroughly
deserved our victory against Rossvale and some of the football we
played was excellent to watch. On Wednesday night at Troon we were
disappointed to only come away with a point, after going 1-0 up so late
in the game. We thought we deserved to come away with all 3 points,
especially with the chances we created and how we dominated for the
last 30 minutes.

Today’s game will be a very difficult one. Kilbirnie will be looking to kick-
start their season but we will be looking to maintain our momentum.
Each one of us will have to be at our best and with your support behind
us I’m sure we can achieve this.
Enjoy the game! ATN
Paul

 Troon 1 – 1 Cumnock
There was late, late drama at Portland Park in this nervy encounter between two teams who
probably feel they should be taking full points off each other. Cumnock’s Jordan Banks thought he
had won it for Nock but Evan Maley equalised in the 90th minute. The last match here was a jittery
relegation fight which Cumnock edged 1 – 0. You got the feeling here one goal would have been
enough to take 3 points again. Cumnock were forced into a change from Saturdays league opener
as Craig McLeish sat this one out due to suspension. Nock gaffer Paul Burns also had Stephen
McKenna, Iain Anderson, Kyle Faulds and Richard Murray missing.

In a very quiet first half neither team took control of the game. Troon striker Ryan Stevenson
seemed to be having an off night as he fired well wide of the target on a few occasions. Cumnock’s
Ally Semple had to be alert to a Pooler header after a corner wasn’t cleared, clawing the strikers
effort away from his goal. At the other end Jordan Kemoe found himself one on one with Scott
Johnstone but the keeper stood tall and parried Kemoes drive round the post. Rhuaridh McIntyre
was unlucky not to hit the target from a Ramage corner, the big defender heading over the Troon
bar from close range.

Half time: 0-0

The second half followed the same pattern as the first with neither Johnstone or Semple having
much to do. After Troon hit the post late in the match Cumnock upped the pace and had a couple of
chances to win it. Substitute Jordan Banks robbed Neil McGregor and darted towards goal, rounded
Johnstone but went too wide. He cut the ball back to Kemoe but the strikers tame effort was saved
by the Troon keeper. Minutes later Banks again was provider this time for Campbell. The young
striker passing up the chance by firing straight at Johnstone. Then with a minute remaining Banks
somehow found the corner of Johnstone’s goal with an excellent finish much to the delight of the
large travelling support who thought the 3 points were in the bag…however Troon’s Evan Maley
popped up with a deflected shot right at the death to give Semple no chance and Troon a share of
the spoils.

Cumnock 3 – 1 Rossvale

Cumnock welcomed history makers Rossvale to Townhead Park for their first ever match
in the top division. The Bishopbriggs club have had a meteoric rise up through the Junior
Divisions.

Rossvale kicked off against Cumnock who had Ally Semple, Paul Burns and striker Jamie
Conn all back in the starting line up after being rested in midweek. Recent signing
Rhuaridh McIntyre kept his place in the team and Burns handed Ayr United loanee
Nathan Baird a debut at right back. The game kicked off in rather strange circumstances
for a Premiership match as no Linespersons were present. Both teams found the
blistering heat a problem in the first half with the temperature rising by the
minute. Cumnock still tried to play their quick passing game and a few times nice
intricate build up play led to efforts on goal for Miller and Conn. On 24 minutes Cumnock
took the lead through Player Manager Burns. In a conjested midfield, the impressive
Craig McLeish played a one – two with Graeme Ramage and then another with
Christopher Campbell and then lifted a pass over the Rossvale defence into the path of
Burns who slid it past James Donnelly in the visitors’ goal. This goal seemed to shake
Rossvale into life and they responded on the half hour mark after great work down their
left hand side. Joe Slattery drilled home a pull back below Nock keeper Ally
Semple. During this period Rossvale looked the more likely of the two teams to take the
lead. Their midfield and strikers were picking up most second balls and this led to
Semple having to make two cracking saves from Slattery who was finding all sorts of
space in the home 18 yard box. Cumnock’s Allister Miller found himself in Referee Chris
Gentles’ book on the stroke of halftime.

Half time: 1-1

www.cumnockjuniors.com
Cumnock 3 – 1 Rossvale
Cumnock had Semple to thank yet again from going behind as Rossvale started the second half
where they left off in the first half. Again Joe Slattery was the man denied by a tremendous
save from Semple at full stretch somehow saving Slattery’s shot with his left foot. This save
seemed to spark Cumnock back to life and after a quick counter attack Donnelly made a great
save from Campbell. The link up play down Cumnock’s right hand side between Baird and
Campbell was causing Rossvale problems and a few flash crosses from Campbell just had no
takers in the box for Cumnock. On 51 minutes Cumnock took the lead again. McLeish found
himself in shooting range and curled a great effort low into the corner from 20 yards. 4
minutes later the turning point in the game presented itself. After a long ball caused problems
for the Rossvale defence outrushing keeper Donnelly headed clear straight to Ramage who
immediately volleyed back towards goal only for the keeper to produce a stunning
save. However he was a few yards outside his box and Gentles immediately showed him the
red card for deliberate handball outside the box. Matt Niven taking over in goal lined up a wall
from the resulting free kick only for Ramage to find a way through it but he saved
comfortably. Cumnock were piling on the pressure looking for the killer goal and to be fair to
stand in keeper Niven he had a couple of fine saves. Cumnock did find the killer goal when
after a fine pass from Baird, Jamie Conn turned his marker in the box and blasted into the
net. Right at the death man on the match McLeish was shown a red card for dissent. The only
blot on an eventful opening match for Cumnock.

We would like to thank everybody that supported us in the Tesco

bags for help scheme way back last year, where we finished 1st in
the category. With a chunk of money we have kitted the boys out
with new waterproof jackets.
With Tesco’s permission, we
also got Release printed on the

promote the local mental
health charity, as it provides
invaluable support to young
men in Ayrshire. Robbie, from

 Who are we?

We are an online non-profit organisation set up to tackle the stigma of

men's mental health. We aim to encourage men to take the first step and
speak out.

Run by volunteers who are all support-trained, we are all here to listen. We
pride ourselves on our quick response rate, something we feel extremely
strong about. We do not take any expenses out of anything raised so all
money donated goes straight back into our campaigns to raise awareness.

We must stress we are not a counselling service - but more of a first-step

chatting platform. We will offer as much support as we can before
signposting to relevant other charities, if we feel the need to do so.

Each conversation is 100% strictly confidential. When messaging, you will be

assigned a volunteer who will remain with you throughout your journey - be
that 5 minutes or 5 months. Any issue that is making you feel low - i.e
stress, family issues, money worries, depression, exam results etc.

Although our page is predominantly aimed at men, we will help anyone

who is struggling and in need.

We are here to listen and help as best we can.

PLAYER PROFILE

Chris Campbell

Age: 26

Position: Winger
Which clubs have you played for previously?
I’ve played in the states doing a scholarship for 2 years in Philadelphia,
Ayr United and Maybole Juniors.

What made you sign for Cumnock?

I signed for Cumnock because I felt it was the perfect club for me as a player to
develop my game further. The opportunity to play at the top end of Junior
football also caught my attention because I want to try my best and help make
this club successful.

What's been your biggest achievement in football so far?

My biggest achievement so far in football would probably be playing out in the
U.S. I developed lots as a player out there because of the physical demand; every
player you played against was an athlete so you always had to be on top of your
game.

What's your opinion on VAR?

I think VAR has its positives and negatives but personally I think it’s good for the
game.
Messi or Ronaldo? Messi
