Next Game: Meadow v Petershill


IRVINE MEADOW v PETERSHILL

Stagecoach Super League Premier Division

Meadow Park, Irvine

05-09-09

Kick Off : 2pm

-

Meadow welcome Petershill to Meadow Park this coming Saturday knowing that a good performance will be needed if we are to get back to winning ways. Petershill got off to a bad start in their league campaign going down 2-4 at home to Arthurlie. Many people thought they would struggle this season as they lost a lot of players during the close season but they have come back well and won their next 2 league games against Lanark Utd and Bellshill to sit 3rd in the league with 6 points from 3 games.

-

Recent games between the 2 sides have been very close and both league games last season ended in 1-1 draws. Zander Ryan scored Meadow's goal in the first game at Meadow Park while Andy McLaren, who is no longer with the club scored our goal in the return fixture.

-

Petershill currently have 2 ex-Meadow players in their squad, defender Kevin McBride who left Meadow Park to join the 'Hill this close season and striker Stephen McGowan who left Meadow in season 2007-08 to join Neilston before moving on to Petershill.
