kilmaurs Thistle 2004-2007
15 Aug 2007

Kilmaurs Thistle were formed as a club in June of 2004 with a very small player group of 7 players. The club in the first year ran with a single U9 and U1O team and struggled in the first season within the Central Ayrshire Youth FA. The players and coaches loved playing football though, and despite the results managed to recruit more players from Kilmaurs and surrounding areas and managed to attend the Easter Football Festival at Craig Tara in Ayr. Both teams participated despite many funny and painful incidents over the weekend.
The 2005-06 season allowed the club to add an U8 team and the coaches prepared this team for entry to the league itself. Most games for the existing team were fraught with difficulties but realtionships were builtwith other teams and we managed to help the teams to have fun, play football , learn , develop and win now and again.
2006-2007 A new Committee and constitution was agreed and this season was a resounding success with the U9 team had a great season culminating in some great games of football and many wins during this season.
The U11 especially deserved credit for this season aas they played some great football over the season but got more draws than they deserved and a few wins ( what a team )
The U12 had a real battle to keep players this season and suffered throughout the season but the club had a team prepared to try their best and give their all for the coaches.
2007-2008 A new Committee and a new team at U10's gives the club a great chance for the first time to have 2 teams for a season as an age group.
The new U11's have had a magnificent start to the season and were invited to the pilot summer league at Kilwinning and performed brilliantly with some great wins and some battling display from all the players, coaches and parents.

The new season dawns and the club have lost some great boys and parents we are use to having around including some people that will always be welcome around the football club and their boys will always have a place in the club history . We wish Connor, Ben , Aydan, Alex, Craig, Jack C, Fraser, Allistair and Ross all the best for the new season whatever team they will be playing for.

The club wish to thank Walter and Joan for eveything they have put in in terms of support, time , energy and being involved in all of the good things that we have been involved in the last 3 years.

Stevie and Jackie for their support and unstinting devotion at the side lines through the good and bad times(always remember craig tara fondly)

Our player of the season awards take place on the 17th August at 7pm at the Powerleague in Kilmarnock.
The new season starts at 9.45am for the U10 teams and 11.15am for the U11 team on the 1st September.
