Shoddy defending and lacklustre attacking saw Talbot exit the South Challenge Cup in an afternoon fraught with schoolboy defending and a red card to boot. The healthy Talbot support left Albyn Park wondering if they had been put out the cup by a half decent side or whether their performance merited such a disappointing result.

THANK YOU TALBOT ARMY
Talbot would like to thank all the supporters who made the journey up to Aberdeen for our recent Scottish Junior Cup tie against Brig of Don FC. In these hard financial times it was a superb turnout especially our young Ultra’s who made all the atmosphere at the Aberdeen Sports Village .
The match report, video and the photographs will be up soon. Hope to see you all at Cumnock next week.
LARGS UNDER THE LIGHTS WHILE RAIN THREATENS SCOTTISH CUP TIE
Talbot will face Largs Thistle under the lights on Wednesday the 15th of November due to the tie being cancelled on the 25th as Largs take on Johnstone Burgh in the second round of the Indigo Comms West of Scotland Cup and Talbot head to Arthurlie for their rearranged PDM Premier League clash. The Arthurlie match is due to Troon and Girvan facing each other on the 25th to decide who’s travelling to Beechwood to face Talbot on December the 9th.
This weekends Scottish Junior tie up at Aberdeen is a cause for concern due to reports of inclement weather reports in the North East which might put the visit to Bridge of Don in jeopardy and has forced Talbot into asking for a pitch inspection at 2pm on Friday as they are booked to stay overnight.
The weather situation has also alerted the SJFA who have penned the 2nd of December if the tie is cancelled. If this is the case then Talbot’s money spinning home tie against Pollok will have to be arranged for a future date. Reports have it that the pitch at the Aberdeen Sports Village is fast draining due to its proximity to Aberdeen links.
Other information regarding the match is it will be officiated by referee Kevin Murray, admission is £7 and £4
