Well done to all the winners

Fauldhouse United have clinched the championship with a game still to play.

Congratulations to Andy Cunningham his backroom staff and all the players on securing the title after a very hard season with Harthil and Haddington chasing us all the way to the wire.

Fauldhouse United played a friendly against Kilsyth Rangers on Monday at Dalzell Park and Michael Howley was awarded performance of the match for his impression of bambi.

The all weather pitch was iced over and although most players struggled to keep their balance Michael took it to a new level (Big Al gave him a 5.7 for his 1st half performance).

Kilsyth won the game 4-2 but they must be used to playing at Dalzell as all their players had trainers on and ours wore boots (bad idea).

Andy Storrar and Scott McDonald have signed new deals at Fauldhouse.

Nice to put a bit of good news on the site after last weeks result.

Fauldhouse United held a minutes silence for Dougie Deacon and Winifred Brannan who sadly passed away.

Jamie McAllister (striker) and Glenn Weir (goalkeeper) have signed for Fauldhouse and Scott McGeachie has resigned.

Arniston beat Fauldhouse 1-0 to retain the cup with a well taken goal after 80 minutes of a keenlyl contested game.

Mark McGarty had the opportunity to draw the game level with a penalty, but a superb save from the Arniston keeper ensured they retained the trophy.

It is always a pleasure to play Arniston and the hospitality shown to all the Fauldhouse supporters and committee is much appreciated.

Shoogly,Jock and Alan made us all very wellcome and there was no shortage of either food or drink.

John Holburn presented the trophy after a gracious in defeat speech by Peter Lynch ( the referee got the blame for Fauldhouse not winning ha ha) and it is always a pleasure to see and have a chat with Margaret Holburn.

Congratulations to Arniston Rangers and we hope to see and beat them next year at Fauldhouse.
