Berwick 0 v 1 Stirling
30/10/04

Stirling came away from Berwick with 3 points mainly due to a controversial penalty that Trigger slotted away. Both teams tried there best on a heavy and slippy pitch and eventually the Binos came out on top. The Binos lined up with several changes from last week. Out went the suspended Mark McNally and Nugent moved into the centre of defence with Neville at right back. Rowe slotted into Scotland's central position to complete the new look defence. Both McDonald and Hay regained there starting slots, with Ferguson and Gethins relegated to the bench. This was far from an exciting game, but in the end the Binos returned to Stirling with 3 precious points. Match report to follow.

Arbroath 2 v 1 Stirling
24/10/04

Stirling lost to a much improved Arbroath side by 2 goals to one yesterday. Many fans where hoping for a improved performance after last weeks hammering, but most came away disappointed after getting out played by the Red Litchies. Scott McLean got back on the scoring trail, but it wasn't enough for the Binos. Arbroath easily could have won this game by a lot more if it wasn't for the heroics of Stirling keeper Myles Hogarth. Mark McNally was sent off for the Binos, but even this wouldn't have changed the outcome. Match report below.

Stirling retain Stirlingshire Cup
24/10/04

Stirling retained the Stirlingshire cup by beating local rivals Falkirk on penalties. Both teams fielded a mixture of fringe and youth players and the full time score ended 3-3 with a Gethins double and Stewart Devine wonder goal that took it to penalties. Sean Roycroft was the unlikely hero when he slotted home the vital penalty. The Stirling faithful came away happy, as any win over Falkirk is always sweet. Match report below.

Latest Young Reds Important Update
04/10/04
A letter will be going out this week advising all those who have enrolled that, as previously decided, there will be no Soccer Sevens on 12th October due to school holidays.In addition, there will be no Soccer Sevens on 19th October due to the club's participation in the Stirlingshire Cup Final. It would appear that some of the youth players will be playing which would mean less coaches for the Soccer Sevens. To avoid any problems, it is easier to cancel. An extra week will be added to the next block, if possible.
