S.Irvine Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Newmains are delighted to have signed striker Martin McAteer for next season. The prolific scorer in amateur football had better offers from higher division Junior clubs but for reasons known to himself accepted our offer to join the new look Billy McKie Newmains United & as a club we're absolutely delighted with his decision. Fullback Eddie McArdle has also rejoined after a spell at St Rochs, & 19 year old ex Queens Park left back Kieran Higgins has joined up. We're also delighted to sign James Duffy from Yett Farm BC. At 6'1, James played on trial v. Blantyre Vics & St Rochs, in the final two games of the season. At 15 years old & physically strong the boy looks a real find. Midfielder Alan Allison resigned for another season. Rejected offers from junior teams nearer to his North Glasgow home to remain with the club. 11 out of 14 players offered deals from last seasons squad now resigned.

S.Irvine Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 thanks mate good luck in the season ahead, sounds positive from your end Easy to be positive at Newmains when your working with Billy McKie & Mr Sunshine himself Joe Roy. Read quite often on P&b how well other managers are regarded, but Billy McKie is doing a superb job. Bringing in Joe as assistant, his signings in January changed the team completely, adding Shona White as physio & keeping Ian McKnight have the dressing room buzzing. The fact 11 players have decided to stay when a number had offers elsewhere shows the players are buying into what Billy's trying to do. Billy also has involved himself in arranging meetings with the council which has resulted in the club being promised a new ground within 3 years, and for the current pavilion to be renovated. Work started to the pavilion last week so the council have been as good as their word. The inside of the pavilion had become an embarrassment to all connected to the club.

S.Irvine Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Craigmark 7, Newmains 0. Shocking United performance. Actually, worse than that. On the positive side, better to find out early preseason which players look up to the task of improving the side. Sometimes you find out more about your team in defeat than you do in an easy win!!!

S.Irvine Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Newmains. 1 Ayr Utd U20's. 4 With 8 signed players unavailable, United produced a much improved performance from Saturday. A stunning 45 yard Alan Allison chip shot had United level 1-1 at half time. The use of trialists/squad players & rolling subs in the second half allowed Ayr to take control of the second half, although 4-1 was a bit flattering scoreline. After the game, United released Ally Gray, Brian McKinlay, Greg Kane & Danny Gallagher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
