Red Star Too Hot For Young Saints GG Side

Oban Saints Greater Glasgow Premier Amateur Football League side took to the field recently vacated by their Central Scottish Amateur Football League colleagues for a two o'clock kick-off against Lochgilphead Red Star at Oban High School last Saturday.

After a short breather Referee Martin Rae, who had also officiated at the twelve noon kick-off on the 3G surface, got the action underway in what continued to be pleasant weather conditions.

Saints lined up with Murdo MacKenzie in goal behind a back three of Daniel Sloss, Alex Craik and Ryan Barclay. Across the five man midfield were Robert Johnstone, Daniel MacCuish, Fraser MacFarlane, Cammy Clark and Captain Kenneth Black. Up front were Alan Buchanan and Lewis Buchanan. On a densely populated bench were James Beaton, Kyle Cooper, Craig Easton, Craig Livingstone, Keir MacLean and Andrew Moore.

Eager to test themselves against considerably more experienced opposition the match got off to a bad start for the young Saints side. Defending a fifth minute corner kick a thumping Angus Lewis shot smacked Alan Buchan in the face before hitting the big striker on the arm. Referee Rae correctly pointed to the penalty spot from where Red Star right winger and dead ball specialist Andrew Weir made no mistake to give the visitors the lead.

Things went from bad to worse for Saints in general and Buchanan in particular when he came off worse in a collision with Red Star defender Ben Forbes which ended his interest in the proceedings.

Saints keeper Murdo MacKenzie was in inspirational form and produced the first of a string of excellent saves in the twenty fifth minute to deny Stuart MacLean. 

Red Star striker Ciaran McPhie spun away from Daniel Sloss in the thirty second minute but couldn't beat Murdo MacKenzie who pushed the ball across the face of goal. The Saints shot stopper waited for the net to bulge from the waiting Stuart MacLean but was delighted to see Alex Craik get back with a perfectly executed sliding challenge to take the ball off the toes of the Red Star striker.

The visitors struck again in the forty second minute after veteran defender Craik had turned an Andy Weir right wing cross behind for a corner kick. Weir's delivery from the right was headed away but only as far as Red Star youngster Zander MacKenzie who lashed an unstoppable shot across a well beaten Murdo MacKenzie and into the top corner of the Saints net.

The young Saints side passed up a terrific opportunity to half the deficit going into the interval when Keir MacLean, with the goal at his mercy, blazed wide of target from six yards after an excellent run and cutback on the right wing from Robert Johnstone.

There was a more promising start to the second half from the home side when Skipper Kenneth Black found Keir MacLean with a raking pass. MacLean fed Kyle Cooper on the edge of the box but, despite getting the better of Ben Forbes, Cooper couldn't find away past Red Star keeper Ally Lewis who made a good save low down to his left.

Kenneth Black came driving forward on the left in the fifty third minute and cut inside for a left foot shot which the Star defence managed to block behind for a corner kick. Robert Johnstone's delivery from the right was knocked out to the edge of the box but was returned by Craig Easton for Alex Craik who, from a tight angle, tried to beat Ally Lewis at his near post with the young keeper able to scramble the ball behind for another corner.

After a quiet first half Ally Lewis was seeing a lot more of the ball in the second forty five and was forced into action again to parry a seventy seventh minute Daniel MacCuish shot before gathering safely at the second attempt.

Any faint hopes the home side may have entertained of a comeback were cruelly extinguished in the seventy eighth minute when Ciaran McPhie pounced on a slack pass out from the back and raced through on goal to calmly slot the ball past Murdo MacKenzie for the third and final Red Star goal.

Saints kept plugging away but, in keeping with the general theme of the afternoon, all too often the final pass went astray making life easy for their Scottish Amateur Football League Premier Division One opponents.

There was one final test for Red Star keeper Ally Lewis in the eighty fifth minute with the youngster taking great delight in keeping his clean sheet intact pulling off a fine save to deny Kyle Cooper after good work on the Saints right from Lewis Buchanan and Daniel MacCuish.

Referee Martin Rae, who handled proceedings well, brought the action to an end sending the visitors back down the A816 by far the happier of the two sides. After completing one hundred and eighty minutes of action in one day Mr Rae could now take the rest of the day off before bidding to outdo Twitter's notorious "Demon Ref" by taking charge of the following day's Saints Youth action.  

Despite being faced with more experienced and accomplished opponents the Saints Management team of Donald Black and Robert Johnstone will be disappointed that their young charges failed to produce the quality play they are capable of and will be looking for a massive improvement for next week's scheduled encounter with Oban Saints Central Scottish Amateur Football League side.

McAuley Header Cements Victory

Kick Off 12.00pm
Referee Mr Martin Rae


A collector's item headed Myles McAuley goal earned Oban Saints the bragging rights in a hard fought friendly victory over near neighbours South Lochaber Thistle at Oban High School last Saturday afternoon.

Referee Martin Rae ensured the match day protocols, including no spectators inside the perimeter fencing, were strictly enforced for the twelve o'clock kick-off played in pleasant winter sunshine.

Scott Johnston dropped out of the squad from the previous week's trip to Dunoon however Manager Willie Gemmell's selection options were given an unexpected boost when David Beaton and James Ford passed late fitness tests to take their places on the substitutes bench. 

Saints lined up with Graham Douglas in goal behind a back four of Ruaridh Horne, Steven MacLeod, Kerr Newbigging and Scott Maitland. Martin Bonar partnered Matty Kelly in the holding midfield roles with Aaron McKay, Gavin Forgrieve and Cammy Hill supporting central striker Craig MacEwan. On the bench were David Beaton, Lewis Campbell, James Ford, Willie Gemmell and Myles McAuley.

Saints kicked off attacking the Glencruitten end and brought Jags number one Andrew Brown into action inside the first minute when the big keeper had to come through a ruck of bodies to clutch a Gavin Forgrieve free-kick from the corner of the eighteen yard box. 

From a fourth minute free-kick on the edge of the centre circle Matty Kelly played the ball out wide to Ruaridh Horne on the right whose deep cross found the head of Cammy Hill. Despite a good leap on the corner of the six yard box Hill was unable to direct his header on target.

Brown was again quick to sense the danger when Scott Maitland's eighth minute pass up the left wing sent Matty Kelly in behind the Thistle defence. Cutting into the box Kelly's touch was a fraction heavy giving the edge to the keeper who closed down Kelly and gathered safely.

Brown continued his busy start to the game needing two attempts to finally stop Aaron McKay's effort from a Craig MacEwan pass on his goal-line in the twelfth minute.

Saints lost the services of Scott Maitland to a tightening hamstring which prompted a switch to a 3-5-2 formation. Replacement Myles McAuley moved into midfield leaving Ruaridh Horne, Kerr Newbigging and Steven MacLeod to form the back three.

Unexpectedly McAuley's introduction would prove to be a master stroke by Gaffer Willie Gemmell when the midfield powerhouse netted the only goal of the game after twenty minutes. Gavin Forgrieve had a shot from eighteen yards blocked behind for a corner kick on the right. The youngster trotted over to take the corner kick himself and sent over an excellent delivery which McAuley met perfectly on the penalty spot to send the ball crashing into the roof of the net.

With Saints having put four past Thistle on their two previous encounters the visitors were determined to keep things tight at the back and succeeded in keeping home opportunities to a minimum. When Saints did break through they found Jags keeper Andrew Brown in inspired form making vital interventions to deny Ruaridh Horne and Aaron McKay.

Gavin Forgrieve, who enjoyed an influential first forty five minutes, made way for David Beaton in a half-time switch from Gaffer Willie Gemmell. 

Aaron McKay and Ruaridh Horne combined well on the right in the fifty first minute forcing Jags left back Ross MacLean to concede a corner kick. Matty Kelly's delivery eluded the grasp of Andrew Brown and was headed back into the danger area by Martin Bonar at the back post. Ruaridh Horne found space on the penalty spot but couldn't redirect the bouncing ball back on target sending a difficult chance over the crossbar.

A good turn on the eighteen yard line took Saints Skipper Craig MacEwan away from his marker however his fifty third minute shot could only find the side netting.

David Beaton continued the off target theme hoisting a fifty ninth minute volley from a Ruaridh Horne right wing cross over Andrew Brown's crossbar.

Saints continued to press for a killer second goal but almost found themselves back on level terms in the sixty eighth minute. The visitors successfully defended a David Beaton corner kick and launched a swift counter attack through Skipper Martin Munro. The Jags talisman was allowed to carry the ball a long way but crucially couldn't shake off the attentions of Steven MacLeod who kept Munro under enough pressure to prevent the shot and allow Graham Douglas to slide out and gather at Munro's feet.

Sixty seconds later Munro succeeded where he had earlier failed and evaded the attentions of both MacLeod and Douglas and couldn't believe his luck when Martin Bonar got back with a last gasp clearance clattering into the post in the process. 

It was Saints turn to hit on the break from the resulting corner kick with Craig MacEwan finally getting an effort on target only to find Andrew Brown equal to the task with a flying save to tip MacEwan's curling right foot shot onto the crossbar.

Martin Bonar's collision with the frame of the goal ended his afternoon and signalled another defensive reshuffle with Myles McAuley dropping back into central defence and young striker Cammy Hill finding himself at left fullback.

Substitute Lewis Campbell sent Aaron McKay sprinting forward on the right from where he picked out the supporting run of David Beaton however it was Brown to the rescue once more for the visitors with another excellent save to deny Beaton. From the resulting corner kick Lewis Campbell found the head of Cammy Hill who sent his header flying over the crossbar.

Aaron McKay made way for James Ford for the closing fifteen minutes leaving Gaffer Willie Gemmell as the only unused substitute.

Further off-target efforts followed from Craig MacEwan, Lewis Campbell and Cammy Hill as Saints continued to dominate without being able to put the game out of the visitor's reach.

With five minutes remaining Saints were almost made to pay for their profligacy in front of goal when dangerman Martin Munro escaped Cammy Hill on the right wing and picked out strike partner Andrew McLean in the middle who glanced his header wide of Graham Douglas' right hand post.

Fittingly it was Andrew Brown who had the last word capping an inspired performance to clutch a twenty two yard James Ford shot before Referee Martin Rae brought a highly competitive friendly encounter to an end.

Another Argyll Derby Win For Saints

Kick Off 1.30pm
Referee Mr Jimmy Litster


Oban Saints and Argyll neighbours Dunoon Amateurs took advantage of Argyll and Bute's continued tier two Coronavirus protection level status to stage a friendly fixture at Dunoon Stadium last Saturday afternoon. The vast grass playing surface successfully passed an early morning pitch inspection however underfoot conditions were extremely heavy ensuring quality football remained at a premium throughout.

Referee Jimmy Litster ensured strict matchday protocols were observed by both sides where Saints overturned a half time deficit to earn a deserved victory over their Scottish Amateur Football League Premier Division One hosts.

Injuries, work and family commitments continued to hamper Manager Willie Gemmell's selection opportunities however Myles McAuley made a welcome return to the squad and the travelling party was further boosted by the inclusion of young Lewis Campbell .

Saints lined up with Graham Douglas in goal behind a back four of Ruaridh Horne, Steven MacLeod, Kerr Newbigging and Scott Maitland. Partnering Scott Johnston in the holding midfield role was Matty Kelly. Supporting Skipper and central striker Craig MacEwan were Aaron McKay, Gavin Forgrieve and Cammy Hill. Joining Gaffer Willie Gemmell on the bench were Martin Bonar, Lewis Campbell and Myles McAuley.

Hosts Dunoon Amateurs kicked off with the strong wind at their backs and were immediately on the attack. Evan Meyar-McDonagh and Paddy Mullholland linked well on the right wing with Mullholland sending a right foot shot from the edge of the Saints box high and wide of target.

A wind assisted ball out from the back turned the Saints back four however Lewis McCall was unable to capitalise sending his shot from the left corner of the eighteen yard box into the grateful arms of Graham Douglas.

After a slow start Saints were eventually able to exert some pressure on the Dunoon defence when Aaron McKay closed down and dispossessed full back JJ Friel. The Saints youngster raced into the box and squared to Craig MacEwan however the Saints Skipper couldn't get the ball out of his feet in the soggy conditions and a good chance was lost.

Dunoon central defender Allan Laughlan got enough of a block on Gavin Forgrieve's nineteenth minute shot from twenty yards to ensure that Saints first effort on target was an easy take for keeper Euan Hunter.

A slip at the vital moment from Kerr Newbigging gave Ewan McIlkenny a sight of goal and the Saints defender was a relieved man to see Graham Douglas spring high to his left to push McIlkenny's right foot shot over the crossbar.

Newbigging was involved at the other end in the twenty fourth minute having a shot from a Scott Johnston knock down blocked on the six yard line after Aaron McKay had won a corner on the Saints right.

The hosts lost the services of Lewis McCall who limped off injured injured after twenty five minutes and was replaced by Kyle Sinclair.

The Saints defence was caught napping at a twenty seventh minute throw-in on the Dunoon right. Ewan McIlkenny was allowed to make his way to bye-line inside the Saints box from where he picked out Evan Meyar-McDonagh who slammed the ball low into the net past the despairing dive of Graham Douglas.

Craig MacEwan and Gavin Forgrieve both failed to trouble Euan Hunter from set pieces and when MacEwan eventually did manage to get an effort on target the Dunoon keeper was able to safely gather the Saints Skipper's header from a Matty Kelly right wing cross.

On the stroke of half-time Kelly was this time on the end of a Gavin Forgrieve cross from the right but sent his header high over Euan Hunter's crossbar.

Forgrieve made way for Martin Bonar in a half-time change which also saw Saints switch to a 3-5-2 formation.

Saints made a positive start to the second half and, inside the first minute, Ruaridh Horne slipped Craig MacEwan into the inside right channel. MacEwan beat Jamie Robertson and cut onto his left foot for a shot which Euan Hunter did well to push behind at full stretch.

The home side had the ball in the net again in the fiftieth minute but Referee Jimmy Litster correctly disallowed Ewan McIlkenny's header from a left wing corner kick for pushing in the six yard box.

From the free-kick Saints worked the ball forward and were given the opportunity to draw level when Craig MacEwan was pulled down after a smart turn in the Dunoon box. The Skipper took responsibility for the spot kick himself and made no mistake beating Euan Hunter low to his right.

Hunter saved a fifty second minute Craig MacEwan header from a Scott Maitland left wing cross before Saints number one Graham Douglas had his first real taste of second half action. Cammy Hill brought down Evan Meyar-McDonagh twenty eight yards out and Douglas could only parry Christopher Richmond's firmly struck free-kick before gathering safely at the second attempt.

Stepping forward from midfield in the fifty sixth minute substitute Martin Bonar smacked Euan Hunter's left hand post with a rasping thirty yard drive as Saints stepped up the hunt for a second goal. They didn't have too much longer to wait and sixty seconds later Scott Maitland's strong running won a corner kick on the left. Craig MacEwan came short to meet Matty Kelly's corner kick and took the ball to the corner of the eighteen yard box before firing off a shot which Euan Hunter couldn't hold. The Dunoon keeper could only push the ball into the path of Kerr Newbigging who found the net from eight yards range.

Newbigging and Cammy Hill departed after sixty seven minutes to be replaced by Myles McAuley and Lewis Campbell.

Steven MacLeod had Ruaridh Horne and Martin Bonar for company in the back three for the closing stages and lead the defence by example with a perfectly timed sliding challenge to deny Ewan McIlkenny a seventieth minute strike on goal.

Dunoon keeper Euan Hunter made two fine saves to prevent Lewis Campbell from stretching the Saints lead but was powerless to prevent the young substitute from finding the net in the eighty fifth minute. Dunoon skipper Jamie Robertson flashed a dangerous ball across the Saints box but without any takers which paved the way for a swift counter attack up the right. Ruaridh Horne found Craig MacEwan for a lay-off into the path of Lewis Campbell. The youngster raced forward with fellow substitute Myles McAuley in support. Having witnessed McAuley's finishing in training Campbell wisely ignored the screams from the touchline to play in McAuley and curled a delightful finish across Hunter and into the top corner.

Referee Litster, who handled a typically competitive Argyll derby well, brought proceedings to an end after three added minutes with both sides pleased to have completed another ninety minutes of action while their respective league campaigns remain suspended.

Friends Reunited As Saints And Red Star Meet Again In Friendly Action

Saturday 14th November 2020
Friendly
Lochgilphead Red Star 0 - 2 Oban Saints
Lochgilphead Joint Campus (3G)

Kick Off 1.00pm
Referee Mr Jimmy Litster


Just three weeks after their last encounter Oban Saints and closest neighbours Lochgilphead Red Star once again took advantage of Argyll and Bute's tier two Coronavirus protection level status to stage a friendly fixture at Lochgilphead Joint Campus last Saturday afternoon. Fortunately the forecasted heavy rain stayed away for the most part making the journey home for the players, still in their playing kit, slightly less uncomfortable than it could have been.

Referee Jimmy Litster ensured strict matchday protocols, including no changing facilities or supporters inside the perimeter fencing, were followed by both sides where goals from Gavin Forgrieve and Captain Craig MacEwan gave Saints a deserved victory over their Scottish Amateur Football League Premier Division One hosts.

Injuries, work and family commitments once again severely hampered Manager Willie Gemmell's selection opportunities with only thirteen players, himself included, available to make the trip.

Saints lined up with Graham Douglas in goal behind a back four of Ruaridh Horne, Steven MacLeod, Kerr Newbigging and Scott Maitland. Partnering Scott Johnston as holding midfielders was Matty Kelly. Supporting Skipper and central striker Craig MacEwan were Aaron McKay, Gavin Forgrieve and Cammy Hill. Joining Gaffer Willie Gemmell on a sparsely populated bench was Martin Bonar.

The hosts were first to threaten and passed up a good early chance in just the third minute. Breaking forward on the right wing Andy Weir had Skipper Aaron Moore and Chris Hart to aim for and sent over a tempting cross which Hart headed wide of Graham Douglas' left hand post.

Saints responded with a Gavin Forgrieve cross from the left which Aaron McKay at the back post headed back across the face of goal but just in front of the onrushing Matty Kelly.  

Saints took the aerial route again in the thirteenth minute with Ruaridh Horne providing a good delivery from the right which Andy Weir did well to turn back to keeper Ally Lewis ahead of Cammy Hill.

Red Star had Stedfast man Ciaran McPhie back in their ranks for this fixture and the young striker tested Graham Douglas in the fifteenth minute with a snap shot from the edge of the box which the Saints keeper held comfortably.

Ally Lewis clawed away a sixteenth minute Gavin Forgrieve free kick after Cammy Hill had been felled by Andy Weir. Hill was on the receiving end again two minutes later this time from Coll McCallum who was given a stern talking to from Referee Jimmy Litster.

The home side were defending well and it took until the twenty first minute for Saints to register their first effort on target. A sweeping move from right to left saw Scott Johnston pick out the overlapping run of Scott Maitland who found Gavin Forgrieve in the box for a low shot which Ally Lewis held well to his left.

Saints kept probing for openings and Skipper Craig MacEwan flashed a twenty fourth minute diving header wide of target from a Cammy Hill cross curled in from the corner of the eighteen yard box.

Young Red Star keeper Ally Lewis used his feet to good effect to take an Aaron McKay right wing cutback off the toes of Craig MacEwan after McKay and Ruaridh Horne had linked well in the twenty fifth minute.

Red Star fullback Coll McCallum made a vital interception on the half hour mark to stop a Craig MacEwan through ball from reaching Cammy Hill before once again being in the right place at the right time to block a Matty Kelly shot from twenty yards.

Kelly did manage to find a gap after being tee'd up by Craig MacEwan in the thirty third minute but Ally Lewis was equal to the task holding at the second attempt low to his right.

Graham Douglas was called into action in the thirty sixth minute saving well from a Chris Hart shot after the Red striker had shaken off the attentions of Kerr Newbigging and Scott Maitland.

Saints finally found a way past Ally Lewis in the thirty ninth minute but were thwarted by the frame of the goal. Little and large wingers Aaron McKay and Cammy Hill switched wings and McKay on the Saints left burst into the box holding off the challenge of Andy Weir and lifted the ball over Ally Lewis only to see it come back off the crossbar before being thumped to safety by Kyle Selfridge.

Both sides made changes for the start of the second half. Martin Bonar replaced Scott Johnston for Saints while Chris Hart made way for Innes Meikle for the hosts.

Meikle was quickly involved in the action heading a very presentable opportunity over the Saints crossbar after good work on the right from Ciaran McPhie and Andy Weir.

The deadlock was broken in the fifty seventh minute from a quickly taken free kick by Cammy Hill after Martin Bonar had been brought down in the centre circle by James McGuiness. Hill spotted Aaron McKay in space on the right and sent him scurrying forward. McKay cut into the box and picked out the run of Craig MacEwan who was foiled from six yards by Ally Lewis. The young keeper's good work was however undone when he couldn't hold MacEwan's shot allowing the ball to spin away from him. Ben Forbes was on hand with a sliding challenge to knock the loose ball away from MacEwan but only as far as Gavin Forgrieve who gleefully tapped home from four yards.

Lewis saved again from MacEwan three minutes later this time managing to hold onto the ball at the second attempt before a neat Matty Kelly turn on the corner of the Star eighteen yard box wrong footed Ben Forbes creating the space for Kelly to curl a ball to the far post a matter of inches in front of the outstretched boot of Scott Maitland.

Maitland got forward again in the seventy first minute finding Gavin Forgrieve in front of goal who took the ball down well only for Innes Meikle to get back with a vital challenge at the expense of a corner kick. Martin Bonar climbed well at the back post to meet Forgrieve's delivery from the right but couldn't direct his header on target.

Despite being unable to hit the target himself Bonar as however able to claim an eighty first minute assist for the second and final goal. The big midfielder, a key member of Red Star's 2018 Scottish Amateur Football League Premier Division Two title winning side, won possession well in the centre circle and opened up his former team mates with a perfectly weighted pass for the forward run of Skipper Craig MacEwan. Top marksman MacEwan comfortably beat stranded Red Star keeper Ally Lewis with a deft chip from twenty eight yards into the unguarded net.

Referee Jimmy Litster, who ensured the two local rivals remained on friendly terms throughout, called time on proceedings after three added minutes with both sides satisfied to complete another ninety minutes while the majority of their respective league rivals remain sidelined.
