Shipyard in five star show.
A first half hat-trick from Paul Ferrier ensured the points were staying at Recreation Park as the Shipyard dominated for most of the match and put Saturday’s poor performance behind them. As usual with a midweek fixture, getting enough bodies was the problem and the Shipyard had veteran Mark James as one of only two substitutes. Gray continued in goal and Gear made his first start for the club whilst Lamont started in the midfield. Continue Reading

Bowhill knock Shipyard out of cup
A severely depleted Shipyard side had no answer to the hard working and well organised Bowhill team that ran out comfortable 3 – 0 winners at Wallsgreen Park. With regular keeper Andy Martin suspended along with Tam Williams, Owen McCue injured and Kieran Marsh unavailable, Billy Whitehead had to shuffle his pack and decided to go with Stuart Gray in goals. Gordon Grieve moved back to centre half with Bryan Cook and Steven Dow gaining starting slots. Kenny Gear made his debut from the bench and Lee Small returned again after his long injury lay off.

On a fiery pitch and with a blustery wind blowing, both teams tried to play good football in what was an entertaining match.

Ferrier double seals cup victory
The Shipyard put last week’s disappointment behind them as they eased to a comfortable win against Kinross in the Scottish Brewers Cup at a misty Recreation Park. The Shipyard dominated for long spells and missed a hatful of chances before a double in the second half from Paul Ferrier sealed the win. Mark Hamilton missed out as he had not fully recovered from the knock he picked up last week at Strath. Therefore his 100% appearance record was gone, though he did take a place on the bench. Mark Brough returned to the starting line-up after recovering from his injury problems. Continue Reading
