Busby Amateur Football Club

Second of a double header against Goldenhill after our 3-3 draw on Thursday. This time we played better and got a deserved victory. However once again we made it hard for ourselves and gave away the opening goal. However we equalised following a break forward by Kyle Maxwell from sweeper and his low cross was swept home by Alistair Brown from 10 yards.

First of a double header against the team bottom of the league ended in a 3-3 draw. It was a tough game with the referee letting too many challenges go unpunished. The first part of the game was pretty even with not many clear cut chances.

A disappointing result and by far our worst defeat of the season against a very strong Arsenal team. Arsenal scored early on and Blair Johnson went off injured after getting studs across his ankle. A further goal left us going in at half time 0-2 down.

Scorers - Tony Guatella, Dean McKirdy, Shaun Alexander (pen), Alistair Brown
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.
