COUNTY THISTLE AFC
16 Jul 2008

We where founded around about may 2007. After a few training sessions we played our 1st game against Tynecastle at Springburn going down 6-0 we where then defeated in a further 3 friendlies all against 1st division opposition before starting in the SSMFL against Cumbernauld and at the end of that campaign we won 9 drew 1 and lost 10 and finished mid-table. In our 2nd season 2008/2009 we where looking to progress and the target that year was clearly promotion which was comfortably achieved although marred by some indiscipline which eventually proved costly in more ways than one. The following season 2009/2010 we competed in the then 2nd division now the 1st and along with extended cup runs finished 4th securing a place in the premiership for season 2010/2011 but without a doubt the highlight of the season was County winning the Lucozade 4th division and playing against Aardvark from Coventry at Old Trafford and producing a stunning display running out 5-1 winners and the trip up the road was an experience that will live long in the memory of everyone that was there. No matter what lies ahead in our debut season in the premier as always we will win as a team and lose as a team.
