Splendid Barrhead Victory!


Congratulations to the U14 Football Team on their 1-2 victory over Johnstone High School.  The difficult away fixture took place in treacherous conditions at Ferguslie Park, Paisley.

The boys gave a courageous display and exhibited a strong team ethic,  managing to overcome an early setback after conceding a penalty kick.

Robbie Townsend levelled the score after winning a brave challenge with the opposition keeper and Mark McKinnie’s cool finish ensured the 3 points returned to Aurs Road!

The players involved were – Ross Cooper, Ben Clements, Luke Wilson, Christopher Patrick, David Mundemba, Robbie Townsend, Daniel McCusker, Stuart Faulds (c), Gary Pritchard, Jamie McQuade, John Davis, Michael Toal, Ewan Stevenson & Mark McKinnie. 

Mr Galloway and Mr Hendrie were both extremely proud of the boys – not only for getting a positive result but for the impeccable conduct displayed.

Senior boys steal a sensational victory

The under-15 boys made a number of changes to their starting five due to injuries to Stewart Booth and Jon Faulds. The players coming in upped their game and demonstrated why Coach Van Looy had picked them for the starting five. As the game progressed their was excellent defending from Craig Campbell and Marc McKinnie.  At the other end, Stuart Faulds controlled the play, Dylan Jenks did some excellent work taking numerous rebounds. In the end, Eastwood’s top scorer proved to much to handle, with successive 3-pointers late in the game. Eastwood High ran out eventual winners after a thoroughly entertaining game.

The senior boys then took to the court. With only 5 senior boys eligible to play the match the game got off to a slow start – 12 points a piece at the half way stage. The game continued to be tied at the end of the 3rd quarter; 22 all. In to the 4th quarter and Barrhead pushed for the win, Fraser Black stepped up with a big 3-pointer (13 points in total). This proved to be the difference in the end and Barrhead won the match 30 -31.

A fantastic effort by the 5 senior players – Ahmed Crawford, Fraser Black, Scott MacCuish, Colin Redmond and Calum MacIssac. Congratulations to Dylan Jenks and Craig Campbell who both made their senior debuts.
