Blantyre Steal a Draw in Injury Time!

Ashfield have dropped 2 points after conceding what can only be described as a last gasp effort from Blantyre. This is a game which Ashfield dominated until the last minute of injury time when a goal was conceded uncharacteristically from a corner kick. Dominating the match Ashfield went at Blantyre from the first whistle doing everything but score, including from the spot!!!

The score remained this way until the 92nd minute when Justin Longmuir scored for the visitors against the run of play.

Ashfield v Lanark United

Lanark United come away with the spoils in a game which was end to end stuff.

It was Lanark in the end that came away with the points after an error in the Ashfield defence allowed the Lanark striker to race clear and finish low into the net. Final score Ashfield 0 - 1 Lanark United.

Ashfield Knocked out of the Scottish!!

Ashfield were today knocked out of the Scottish Cup in a tightly contested match, which was taken out of distance by the Superleague leaders in the final ten minutes. After going 2-0 down Ashfield scored from the spot through Darren O'Donnell to peg the visitors back and continued to put Lochee under a great deal of pressure resulting in the Lochee Goalkeeper making a couple of crucial saves. The game was put out of sight by a magnificent Lochee free-kick which was fit to win any game! Lochee again broke to kill the game off and claim their place in the next round with a final score of 4-1. Manager Stevie Rankin remained upbeat an insisted that his players had again proved that they compete on a much higher level and that the score line did not reflect on the actual match.

Ashfield back on Track!!

Ashfield bounced back from last weeks defeat to take all three points at Saracen Park on Saturday with a 2-0 victory over Larkhall Thistle. Goals from Tony Chalmers and Darren O'Donnell gave Ashfield the points but if it wasn't for some good goalkeeping and heroic defending Ashfield could have scored more goals. A very good performance in what was always regarded as a tough fixture.

Match Details

3rd September 2007 - Saracen Park - 2.00pm K.O

Hard day at Beith

A brave but injury stricken Ashfield went down 3-1 to an excellent Beith side managed by Ex-Arthurlie man Frankie Lynch. A promising start for Ashfield, who should have taken the lead after a couple of glorious chances, was dwindled out after the departure of Stevie Martin with a serious groin injury. Although Ashfield were defiant throughout, Beith took a well deserved victory and booked their place in the next round. We wish them luck.

Ashfield take on Premier opposition

Ashfield with will tomorrow take on Beith Juniors who lead the Premier League Table. It will be Ashfields second time in consecutive seasons to be facing this calibre of opposition at this stage of the West. Last season resulted in Pollok being knocked out at Saracen Park.

Narrow defeat at Port Glasgow

Ashfield were narrowly defeated 1-0 after a number of calamitous refereeing decisions which saw 3 Ashfield players red carded and two penalties awarded against the team. Ashfield goalie Stevie McGovern saved one penalty and was very unlucky with the other but was unable to stop Port Glasgow taking all 3 points. A sad end to a game for Ashfield, not only for the result, but for three red cards in a game which did not have a bad challenge in 90 minutes. A good match spoiled by a referee who thought himself to be the most important man on the pitch.

Ashfield put the Bens to the Sword

Ashfield produced another convincing performance today as they out played Benburb for long periods of the match. Unable to break down the Bens defence in the first half, the field showed real patience in their play and were deadly in their finishing when the opportunities came. A convincing 2-0 victory for the field.

Bens next up at Saracen Park

Next up for Ashfield is the visit of Benburb to Saracen Park. The Bens were also promotion winners last season finishing in third place after a hard fought second division season.

Ashfield gain hard fought victory at the Candy

Ashfield continued with their good start to the season with a hard fought 3-0 victory. St Roch's provided difficult opposition for the field in the first half but were unable to shackle a resilient Ashfield side that rounded off the day with a brilliant Davie Gumley goal late on in the match.

Ashfield visit the Candy

Ashfield will next visit neighbours St Roch's in the Stagecoach Central District League, Division 1. Last years fixtures resulted in both sides taking away wins, with Ashfield scoring seven goals at Provanmill Park. This should be another extremely difficult game for both sides.

Ashfield Continue With Unbeaten Run

Ashfield continued with their unbeaten run today with a fiercely contested scoring draw against Rutherglen Glencairn at Saracen Park today. Glencairn, containing ex-Ashfield players Scott McArthur, Paul McDougal and Stephen McGladrigan were unable to defeat Ashfield on this occasion due to a Mark Thomson Free-kick. This clash also brought the ex-Ashfield Management team of Stevie Rankin and Willie Paterson head to head for the first time since Paterson’s exit to take up the job at Glencairn. After a share of the spoils both managers felt that the draw was a fair reflection on the game although both were disappointed with the ten bookings made by the referee in a fiercely contested but sporting match.

Victory at Castle Park

Ashfield recorded their first win of the season with an excellent 5-2 victory over Blantyre Victoria today at Castle Park. Goals from Paul Maxwell, Joe Tartaglia, Tony Chalmers and Michael Tolland secured all three points for Stevie Rankins men.

All Square at Saracen Park
