Bellsdale Park (Beith Juniors 3 V 2 Troon FC)

Beith Belter

This NCA West Of Scotland tie was well worth the £5 entry fee. Beith were up 1-0 at half-time through John (JC) Craig. On 55 minutes Beith went 2-0 up through a John Craig free-kick and headed home from Marc (Skid) McShane. Troon then put a fight with Gary Wilson caught in two minds and Graeme Barbour delivered and slotted the ball home to make it 2-1. It was 2-2 within a matter of minutes when veteran Jonathan Baillie headed home. The match then became a scrappy affair with tackles flying in left, right and centre. Beith then got the vital winning goal through Kenny McLean who put a superb strike from distance past Troon keeper Johnston. 

Beith progress into round 2 but Troon came close to upset Beith hearts.

Bellsdale Park (Beith Juniors V Troon FC)

This Saturday I will post my first ground report on this blog. The ground that I will be visiting is Bellsdale Park home of the Beith Juniors FC who will be playing Troon FC in the New Coins Automatics Cup West of Scotland 1st Round. Beith are sitting top of the Stagecoach West Of Scotland Premier Division and are current League Champions. Troon managed by Ayrshire Junior Football pundit John Redmond they play their League football in the Stagecoach Ayrshire District League and currently sitting in 11th place with 3 points. Beith look favourites but in all honesty Cup ties are tricky thing to predict. Beith went out at the first hurdle last season against Thorniewood United who never won a game before beating Beith so watch this space.
