MATCH RESULT

Harbour Lights 2-9 Caledonian Spartans

First match of our Scottish Cup title defence against an unknown opposition. We were tasked of an away tie to new setup based out of North Ayrshire, and it was challenging conditions considering the quality of surface, high winds and low sun glare. But to no-one’s surprise, we dominated the match from minute one and only gave the opposition any sniffs at goal from our own defensive errors. It was truly a one-sided affair, played in positive spirits throughout. Credit goes to our opponents who stuck at their gameplan for the full duration of the match despite our quality shining through and killing the game early doors. Anyone reading this report would be here till Thursday night reading our individual descriptions for each of our goals - instead we will describe the best of the bunch, which came from central defender Craig Reid, who galloped through the heart of the Irvine midfield, like a prime Virgil Van Dijk, and let one unleash from 30 yards into the bottom corner.

Anyways, mission complete. Second round of the Scottish awaits and we fully back our side to do the business in the next round. We’re away to read the comments in the West Lothian Civil War 🍿

MATCH RESULT

Caledonian Spartans FC 2-0 Easterhouse Football Academy

Huge win today as we bounced back from last week’s disappointing defeat against Rossvale. Today’s opponents, Easterhouse, have already raised a few eyebrows by defeating last season’s league rivals, Pollok therefore we knew today would be a battle!

We dictated the play for the most part and took the lead halfway through the first half as Phil Carvil produced some magic feet to slip past the left back, cut onto his left foot and unleash a curling effort from 15 yards into the far-top corner. Our opponents did threaten and required Ryan Devenney to make several one-on-one saves! We doubled our lead around the 60th minute as Darren Law was released through on goal, and he made no mistake by expertly passing by the huge-frame of the opposition goalkeeper. Multiple more efforts came our way later in the match but a collective of woodwork and fine goalkeeping kept the score at two.

Overall, great result and always pleasing to keep a clean sheet as well! Onto the Scottish Cup next week, where we begin our defence against Harbour Lights of Irvine!

MATCH RESULT

Blantyre Albion 2-3 Caledonian Spartans

Hard fought victory today in Bellshill as we faced a well established Championship side. Defensive errors were truly back as both Devenney and Moffat will be having nightmares tonight about their contribution towards the opposition. We will put it down to rustiness and might as well get the mistakes out early doors 😅

Let’s not focus on the negatives and let’s take about the positives! New signing, Lee Ferguson would get our first goal of the match after jinking his way past the left back and firing low across the goalkeeper. The substitutions would make the difference today, as Darren Law would score our second and third goals. Firstly, scoring from close range after some nice wing play by Lee Ferguson, and secondly scoring directly from a free kick after flashing it across goal - it might have been slightly deflected by the defender but we won’t mention that 👀

We battled hard against an extremely stuffy, compact side but we got another 3 points on the board and the winning train continues 🚂

PRESEASON REVIEW

The cobwebs have been wiped off, and the lads have been put through their paces in the last month, all preparing for the new season which begins next Sunday against Southside AFC. New faces have been introduced and settled excellently with many putting ‘Man of the Match’ performances over the course.

The best performance and result came this week against Pollokshields United where we demolished GDSFC Premiership opposition 9-0! We followed the resounding victory today by beating Dennistoun Saints 7-4. Lastly, we will compete in the Callum Moffat derby as we face Saturday side, Busby AFC on Wednesday night to complete our preseason schedule.

We are looking forward to competing in the GDSFC Championship this season against some familiar faces as well as new opposition. Let’s go!

CAPTAIN’S MESSAGE

“Another season and another double. Scottish cup and league champions! Thanks to Pollok for coming down and supporting us for the last few games to make sure we got over the line 🤝

MATCH RESULT

Caledonian Spartans 5-0 Fordbank Star

A highly anticipated matchup that had the richest of rewards. Yesterday’s opponents had the support of our league rivals who were in attendance but swiftly departed before half time, just like 2 weeks previous. Our opponents were no match for our ever present matchday squad that squashed all doubts of a last minute league upset as we fired 3 into the opposition’s net before half time. The pick of the goals arrived midway through the second half as birthday boy, Phil Carvil entered the field of play, rocking his new hairband and doing his best Andrew Pirlo impression with a curling free kick finish from 30 yards, with his first touch! Tony Sawyers tried his best to beat that finish with a delightful lob over the keeper in the last 10 minutes, making it Hawaii 5-0 🏄‍♂️

A delightful final day of the season rounding off the season beyond our wildest dreams. League and Scottish Cup double secured 🔒 5 goals and a clean sheet. Once again, thank you again to all players that have contributed to our season as well as all our friends and family who supported us from start to finish.

See you next season 🫡
