Well done to all concerned!!!!!!

 

YOUTH ACADEMY REPORTS

2003s

Talbot 4-1 Hurlford 

With the wind in their faces and trailing the league leaders Hurlford by a point Talbot needed a win to take the league title, they found themselves down 1-0 when Hurlford managed to nip in and score. Straight away though from kick off lovely 1 touch footy brought Talbot back into it when McCulloch hit the inside of the post and Kane was there to finish, not long after Talbot were awarded a penalty when the Hurlford defender handled in the box and Kane Cooley slotted Home

Half time 2-1

Second half only one team looked like taking it and Mathieson scored from a corner before Jy Guthrie under pressure from the defenders broke away and put the tie to bed

 

Hurlford fought Talbot all the way this year but Talbot wanted it and are now League champions

 

Man, of the match: joint Michael Nolan Jy Guthrie and Cameron McBride

A great season by the lads and the coaches couldn’t be any prouder

YOUTH ACADEMY REPORTS

2008’s

Talbot travelled down to face Cambusdoon on what was great playing conditions.

 

Golds,

Straight from the start of the game the Golds were on form with great passing and excellent team work. The scoring was quickly opened up and this continued with some outstanding goals until the end of the first half. This great play continued in the second half with again some outstanding play and quality finished goals, with 1 player scoring their 21st goal of the season. Another outstanding game for the golds, continuing on their current winning streak. It wasn’t all outfield players with Connor in goals keeping a clean sheet.

 

Blacks,

Looking to continue their good run the boys weren’t long in showing dominance in this game. A few well worked passing moves were put together creating space for wingers to cross the ball, leading to a few goals. Josh Kerr’s wide ball distribution allowed us to counter on the fast break with this bringing us a few successes. Cambusdoon couldn’t deal with our high press and struggled to get out at times. To their consolation Cambusdoon did grab a couple of goals.

The boys deservedly winning this match avoiding any potential banana skin and credit must go to every player for their hard work throughout the match.

 

We would like to wish Cambusdoon the very best for the rest of their season

 

2006….

 

Only one game again for the 06’s away to Glenburn. A few boys missing again for the game but a good positive start from the Talbot boys saw us pressing Glenburn and putting them under real pressure for spells in the first half. Two break away goals for Glenburn left the boys frustrated but we fought on and were rewarded just before halftime. Into the second half and again we lost a breakaway goal to leave us with a huge task to get back into the game. The Talbot boys played on and on another day could have ran away with this game but we couldn’t take our chances. Some fantastic football at times and great awareness but we need to be better at finishing. A good goal late on for Mason McNeillie but too late to build on. Great football at times and unlucky not to have got a better result which we would have deserved.

 

2003….

Tuesday

Caley 2-4 Talbot

 

Talbot started brightly and we’re up 1-0 inside the first minute through Jy Guthrie and 5 minutes later were up 2-0 when Gavin withers scored from a corner after a good delivery from Kyle Shankland , Caley fought their way back into it and bar two outstanding saves from Michael Nolan would have made it 2-2 at half time, second half Caley started the stronger and pulled one back, Michael Kane then got away and finished to make it 3-1, again Caley didn’t back down and kept fighting and playing nice football and pulled it back to 3-2, Michael again pulls off a great save to keep it 3-2 before jay Waddell finally put the tie to bed and grabbed a fourth for Talbot , a good 3 points against a spirited and hardworking Caley side  who wouldn’t give up

Joint man of the match: Jy Guthrie and Michael Nolan

 

Thursday

Stewarton 1-7 Talbot

 

Very good win against 3rd place, jy Guthrie got the team going with a drive from distance, Michael Kane scored straight from a corner to make it 2-0, Stewarton pulled one back but Talbot didn’t let it faze them and hit the bar twice, had 2 cleared off the line and one blocked bravely by a Stewarton defender, the pressure paid off though and Michael Kane got a chance from outside the area and finished well to make it 3-1 at the break

Second half Talbot stepped it up a gear and played some great football the big man small man partnership up front worked brilliantly with jay Waddell flicking the ball on and Michael Kane reaped the benefits by running in behind and grabbing a second half hat-trick to take his tally to 5 for the night, Callum Walker finished the scoring by heading it on for himself, chesting it down and finishing well in a crowded area

To cap a great win and team performance

Joint man of the match: Michael Kane for his goal fest and birthday boy jy Guthrie for a classy performance in the heart of midfield

 

Saturday

Prestwick 2-4 Talbot

 

Usual close game against a hard Prestwick side, Michael Kane managed to put Talbot up 1-0 at half time with a nice finish

Second half the refs gave Prestwick a way back into the game by awarding a penalty that Talbot feel was harsh 1-1 Cameron McBride put Talbot back into the lead coming in at the back post with a header 2-1, Callum McConkie makes it 3-1 with another headed goal from a corner and Zac Mathieson then follows suit and puts in another header from a corner , Prestwick pulled one back with 10 minutes to go as bodies were starting to get tired after 4 games in 8 days the boys have done superb and now set up a winner takes all clash for the league on Saturday at home vs Hurlford

Man, of the match: Cameron McBride

 

 

U19s….

 

Talbot welcomed Irvine Thistle to Beechwood Park in the league cup. With a perfect pitch there could be no excuses today. Irvine started the livelier of the two teams as they pressed Talbot into mistakes and took the lead when a well hit shot from outside the box settled in the bottom corner. 0-1

Irvine were on top at this time and could have went further ahead but for a couple of good saves from Rooney. With about 10mins till halftime O’Donnell sent a speculative ball from his own half over the Irvine defence which the goalie totally misread and ended up with the ball in the net 1-1 half time

Second half and Talbot started to take control of the game and were passing the ball well and opening up the Irvine defence regularly. Talbot took the lead when a good run and cross from Campbell was controlled and finished well by McLean 2-1 and soon added a third when Wright broke away and his shot came off the post straight back to him and he tucked it away 3-1.

With Talbot looking comfortable now it was time to bring on subs, Meikle returning from a long injury and new signing Anderson. But there was still time for goal of the game, as Campbell crossed a free kick to the corner of the box where Shields controlled and volleyed across the goalie into the top corner. Full time 4-1 Talbot

Well played everyone today

TALBOT YOUTH ACADEMY

YOUTH ACADEMY REPORTS

2006 match report:

Only one game for the 06’s at Ayr academy against Valspar. A really good start to the game again from the Talbot boys but they found themselves going behind by two goals which really didn’t reflect the game. A good positive attack saw us pull one back through Harry Biggans just before halftime. Into the second half and the Talbot boys fought hard and played well in spells but again a couple of mistakes cost us dearly and Valspar took advantage. Unlucky day again for the 06’s and again the score didn’t reflect the game. Bit of work to do but lots of positives to take away from this game.

 

2003s….Wednesday        Talbot 0-2 Prestwick

One of those days where nothing went right for the Talbot boys and the performances we’ve been used to this season were below the usual standards and Prestwick deserved the points

Man, of the match: Gavin Withers

 

Saturday                       Cunninghame 3-4 Talbot

Slow first half with Cunninghame twice taking the lead but were pegged back by goals from Michael Kane and Jy Guthrie

Half time 2-2

Second half Talbot found their feet and put on a performance to enjoy with neat passes and the football was flowing, Michael Kane got his double and his 20th and 21st goal of the season to make it 3-2 before Jy Guthrie also hit his second of the match to make it 4-2 with 5 minutes remaining Cunninghame snagged a goal to make it 4-3 but Talbot saw the game out and took the points

Man, of the match: Michael Kane

 

2008s….

08s welcomed Shortlees BC to the Merlin park, for the first ever meeting of the teams

Blacks were looking to extend their undefeated run and right from the very start Talbot seemed up for the game. Wave after wave of attack eventually saw Talbot take full control of the game. The boys put together a few good moves working the ball through the middle then getting it out wide, although overall passing, movement and communication wasn’t at as a high a level as the week before, which will be worked on in training before next week’s game.

 

Golds recorded a very energetic performance for the duration of the match at the Merlin, utilising the space on the pitch to create good chances. A good attacking performance from Shortlees BC required the Talbot team to work hard defensively before starting any attack. Good pressure around the pitch resulted in Talbot regaining possession in good areas which created a lot of chances for us.

I’d like to add a special note of how pleased I was to see the team stick to their pre-match game plan, and also how they managed to keep focus on their positional discipline right through until the final whistle.

 

Another special thanks to outfielders Tommy and Ally who covered our Goalkeeping position in absence of our injured no.1 of whom we wish a speedy recovery.

We would like to wish Shortlees all the best for the Rest of their season.

TALBOT FOOTBALL ACADEMY

TALBOT 2003S

 

Talbot 4-0 Caley

 

First time on the Merlin this season after being on the astro and the lads looked nervous as the ball bobbled around and Caley handled themselves fine

Half time 0-0

Second half and with the boys finding their feet they played more assured football and started to turn it on,

Left back Logan “joe” Murray won the ball just inside the Caley half beat three then on his favoured right foot unleashed a shot from distance that blazed into the net 1-0,capitan Gavin withers then went up for a corner and won a header only for it to hit a Talbot man but he showed great awareness to still stab the ball home , jay Waddell almost made it 3 but for an outstanding last gasp challenge from the Caley defender, Talbot were in the groove and Kane and Guthrie were bringing out their bag of tricks and at this point the strikers took over after seeing the defenders score and first josh jones finishes well before Kyle Shankland finished the match off after good work from Michael Kane who cut it back

Man, of the match: Kyle Shankland

 

Hurlford 4-2 Talbot

 

League rivals Hurlford finally got the better of the Talbot boys to make the gap at the top 3 points

 

Hurlford went into an early lead before josh jones hit his 30th of the season to level it up, Hurlford again went in front but left back Logan Murray scored his second goal this week with a long range free kick to make things even at the break

Halftime 2-2

Second half Talbot started bright and but bad marking from a corner let them take a 3-2 lead, Hurlford started to look hungrier near the end a quick free kick caught the boys off guard and Hurlford scores to put the tie out of reach

Full time 4-2

 

Man, of the match: Kyle Shankland, for his drive and determination

 

2008s…..

 

Both teams traveled to Kilmarnock to face Dean Thistle.

 

Golds:-  Taking on the lessons learned from a poor performance last weekend and working on these at training. The game started off with great pace from all the players and a goal coming in for the golds shortly followed by another and the game was on, however an own goal brought Thistle back into the game. Going into the second half it was soon 2 each, some inspirational words given to the players and the goals started again with outstanding performance from all the team and a hat trick coming form Kaitlin, 2 from Tommy, goals from Douglas, Ally & Ayden to finish the match and all this without the No1 goalkeeper. A very special thanks from the coaches to Tommy & Ally for stepping into the nets, well done and we hope Connor is back for the home game against Shortlees this weekend.

 

Blacks:-  With only had 7 players available, so it looked like a difficult morning in the heat for the blacks. But this wasn’t the case as the blacks put in THE best performance seen by the team in a long time. With no subs, the players were instructed to move the ball quickly, and they did with every player involved in numerous free flowing passing moves and long spells in possession and scoring some beautiful goals. The best if the bunch came from a move that started with gk Kerr and every player involved in a quick tempo passing move and tapped home by Meikle.

Special mention to Kerr, Hayden, Watson, Reid, McCabe, Bishop & Meikle. All 7 player deserve all the credit for this performance.

Keep up the good work ⚽️⚽️
