Under-16 Boys Triumph in RS McColl Cup Clash Against St Paul’s
On a drizzly Monday night under the floodlights, our Under-16 Boys’ Football team delivered a gritty performance to secure a 2-1 victory over St Paul’s in the Glasgow RS McColl Cup.
The match started brightly for our side, with two well-taken goals in the first half. Finlay Dougall opened the scoring after some silky build-up play, and Pieters Mayavo doubled the lead before the break with a composed finished following a world-class save from Aaron Fitzpatrick at the other end, giving us a strong 2-0 advantage heading into half-time.
The second half, however, was anything but straightforward. St Paul’s quickly pulled one back and an early red card left us down to ten men, setting up a tense finale. What followed was a masterclass in resilience and defensive organisation. Every player dug deep, and the team showed incredible character to hold firm against relentless pressure.
Special mention goes to Dillan Carroll, who earned Man of the Match honours for two unbelievable last-ditch interventions that kept our lead intact.
This hard-fought win not only secures our place in the next round but also highlights the teamwork, discipline, and sheer willpower that define this group. Well done, boys!

S4 Boys Football
On Tuesday 7th October King’s Park travelled to Scotstoun Leisure Centre to take on St Thomas Aquinas. It was the first league match of this seasons campaign and it turned out to be a thriller. Two very committed teams determined to come away with the 3 points it was no surprise they had to settle for a share of the points.
King’s Park took a very early lead as Colin went through on the goalkeeper. With the last kick of the 1st half St Thomas scored to equalise. In the second half St Thomas raced into a 3 – 1 lead. With 89 minutes on the clock Ethan shifted the ball onto his right foot and unleashed a powerful shot from just inside the box that sailed towards the top corner. 3 – 2 down in the final minute of injury time the boys won a free kick outside the box. The whole team piled into the box hoping to get on the end of the cross and it was Tony who managed to get his boot on it to force the ball over the line. A dramatic late equaliser earning the team a well deserved point.
