Talbot manager Tommy Sloan was in top form at the recent AGM as he highlighted his signing policy for this season. So far 13 players have been signed up with the manager looking for at least another four. Tommy told those present that he was looking for players who would challenge for positions and although he admitted he had some irons in the fire he remained tight lipped about who they were.

With holidays and a couple of players with niggling injuries it looks like Talbot’s opening pre-season games could involve a few trialists. When asked about the signing of Danny Boyle the manager replied that he was in the same mould as Mark Campbell and will be a big asset to the club. He also mentioned new keeper Brian Hewitt who he described as a good keeper with plenty of experience. He should be a great mentor for big Andy Leishman as Tucker pointed out it was himself that was trying to coach Andy. “Brian has bags of experience and played with a lot of top clubs, he is definitely a good signing.

Talbot take on Newtongrange this Saturday with a 2pm kick off.

There was a decent turnout at the Talbot AGM held in the Social Club. The gathered throng were put through the financial state of the club by Clark Davidson who detailed Talbot were in a healthy state of affairs and congratulated the club committee and fans for their continued fundraising.

Club Secretary Henry Dumigan pointed out to the meeting that if Talbot were to survive and keep their stature in the Junior game then they need young blood on the committee. Henry added that although the current committee are not in the dinosaur category he did intimate that it would be good to get some younger members or supporters into the committee.

The meeting was then chaired by David Gibson from the BRC and the current committee were voted on en-bloc.

There was a minutes silence before the meeting to remember the supporters that are no longer with us.

Talbot would like to thank everybody who attended.

Talbot’s first pre-season friendly involves a visit from East cracks Newtongrange Star. The Star who are now under the guidance of former Musselburgh gaffer Stevie McLeish have added a number of influential signings for the start of this season. A number of them come from McLeish’s old club Musselburgh and this looks like being a tough encounter.

Talbot to date have only added two new signings but have lost the services of Davie Gillies, Scott Johnston, Willie Boyd, Robert Love and Martin Findlay. Goalkeeper Scott Johnston has joined ADL Champions Girvan while Robert Love has joined Largs Thistle. Davie Gillies has joined up with his old team mate Gavin Friels at Dalry Thistle.

The Talbot website are pleased to announce that Talbot assistant coach Allan McLuckie has agreed to write a weekly article for the website. Allan will take time out to answer questions and put his points across to the Talbot support. We look forward to hearing from Allan.
