🔵⚪️ 📣 Announcement 📣 🔵⚪️

With our season now finished we are on the lookout for a new management team to come on board and take the club forward in the 23/24 season.

Ian, Craig and Casey have been running the team for the last 4 years now and are taking a step back from the coaching to concentrate on other ventures.

With a good core squad of boys still at the club we are now looking for someone to come in and run the team and bring in some new players and some fresh ideas to take the team forward into the new season.

With support from and strong links to Blantyre Vics Senior, under 20 and Youth teams there is a great platform to grow this team, make your mark and input your philosophy before the start of next season.

If you are interested in this opportunity please message the page for more details.

Sundays game ended in defeat to a well organised Bardykes Rovers.

On reflection Bardykes had more chances to score than us and took there chances well.
However there were plenty of positives to take from the game as it was quite the battle and we actually played some really nice passing football, unfortunately we just couldn’t put the ball in the net.

We wish Bardykes all the best for their future games

We are now on the lookout for a goalkeeper to come and join us.

With our two goalkeepers out of action for the foreseeable we need a committed gk to step in and take the mantle.

Training Wednesdays and games Sundays.

If you know someone that would be interested please get in touch.

Thanks

Last weeks Result:

Narrow defeat against Newmains last week as a windy day made the game quite difficult for both teams.

First half was fairly even, went into the break 1-0 down after conceding a penalty. Had to replace our keeper Shea McPherson at half time after he broke his finger and had to go to hospital. Casey went from one end of the pitch to the other as he stood in for Shea between the sticks.

2nd half, Newmains started well and scored two goals fairly early on, one of them another penalty🤦‍♂️
Although we found ourselves 3-0 down with about half an hour to go we knew we were still in it and we were creating plenty of chances, We managed to score 2 to pull us back into the game.
Fair play to the Newmains keeper as he pulled off some absolutely cracking saves to keep them on top and we just ran out of time to find the equaliser.

Thanks to Newmains for the game and we wish them all the best.

No game this week for us so we look forward to the Sunday Trophy round 2 next week.

Another league win for the Vics.

Was a pretty scrappy match from start to finish but we held on to the lead after a couple of mistakes let DT back into the game late on.

Done enough to get the 3 points though and we move on to next week.

League Result:

Our Second league match ends in defeat to a strong Albion Rovers under 21’s.

In what must’ve been an entertaining game to watch for the neutral, this hard fought battle in the blazing sunshine ended in a defeat for the Vics.

There was a lot of positives to take away from the game on Sunday though. The lads had the bit between their teeth and came out fighting from the start.

The game had everything in it, squandered chances, a red card, end to end football, goal line clearances and even a late equaliser from the Vics that was deemed offside by the referee.

It just wasn’t to be for us, however, after a poor start to the season the improvement in the squad was there to be seen.
With some of our new additions starting to settle in and gel with the rest of the team, it’s now starting to come together.

There’s still plenty work to be done but we’re getting there.

We thank Albion Rovers for the game and wish them all the best for the season!
