FIRST YOUNG RED SIGNS FOR YOUTHS
Stirling Albion Young Reds are delighted to announce that youngster Alex Cleland has been signed by SAFC Youth Development Initiative Under 13s. Alex becomes the first graduate to Youth Development level from our Young Reds Scheme and in particular the FVFDA Development squads.

Steven Leiper, Young Reds Co-Ordinator said, "To have produced our first Youth Development player after only one season participating in the FVFDA structure is a real achievement by Alex and his former coaches Willlie Maxwell and Norman McLay.

When we started our FVFDA teams last season we stated that one of our ambitions was to offer our players the opportunity to progress along the pathway to the SAFC Youth Development Initiative structure and the success we have had with Alex proves we are delivering against that ambition."

Everyone involved with Young Reds and Stirling Albion FC wish Alex all the very best in the Youth Development Initiative and we will all follow his progress there with interest.

 

STIRLING ALBION 2 v 2 AYR UNITED
Stirling Albion recovered from the loss of two early goals to draw 2-2 against Ayr United at Forthbank Stadium on Saturday.
An entertaining match saw the visitors race into a two goal lead thanks to two well taken goals by Bryan Punty.

Stirling pulled a goal back before the break when Nathan Taggart slotted home and Ian Harty completed the Stirling comeback from the penalty spot midway through the second half when he converted after he was fouled by Mark Dempsey.
Stirling included new signing's Mark Docherty and Chris Hamilton in team to face Ayr United. Other new signing Kevin Ross is not cleared to play yet.

Afterwards Boss Allan Moore said "The team battled back well from two goals down and I'm dissapointed we never went onto win the match. We are still building this new team and we have got to take confidence for the way we matched Ayr who are top of the table."

Both Chris Hamilton and ex-Celtic under 19 player Kevin Ross have been at the club for a number of weeks and have appeared as trialists within that time.

DEVINE INJURY
Stewart Devine will see a specialist this coming week for a groin injury. Devine has had a slight problem for a few weeks and the injury was aggravated further when he played in our reserve match last week against Irvine Meadow.

Boss Allan Moore hopes the diagnosis from the specialist will be good news, but it is feared that Devne will miss at least a few matches.
