JUNIOR INDOOR TRAINING at St. C's School today - CANCELLED
Unfortunately, the indoor training for the juniors this week is cancelled. This let request was received a bit late and so St. Columba's school has been unable to get the assistance of the janitor.
Apologies to U10s, U12s and U14s
Ladies 3s training is on at GG for those in Ladies 3s.
During a Sunny January afternoon the Kelburne ladies 3's faced Loch Lomond in the West district second Division. Fielding a young talented squad, with a full bench Kelburne we're looking to improve on there mid table position against the team sitting top. Nevertheless Loch Lomond came out fighting and the first 15 minutes saw Kelburne camped out in their own half soaking up lots of pressure. Against the run of play experienced player/coach Rachael Ewing-Day carried the ball over the 23 yard line, into the Circle and buried a reverse stick shot pass the Loch Lomond keeper. Then with the nerves settled Kelburne began to create more chances with some lovely possession play in and around the circle. Three corners were claimed within this period which unfortunately were not converted. Then just before half time Loch Lomond broke and found there way past Abbie Houston the Kelburne keeper. Making the score at half time 1-1. The second half begun a lot more calmly from the Kelburne side, who seemed happy to zone defend and counter attack when they could. Then at the 50th minute defender Emma Ryan put the Kelburne ladies ahead again, after a great piece of individual skill. Retaining possession whilst skipping past a sea of Lomond defenders Ryan found the bottom right corner to make the score 2-1. Unfortunately the Paisley side failed to claim all three points after an error in defence left the keeper isolated and with little they could do against a clinical Lomond finish. Kelburne countered in numbers to try and fine me the winner, however another 2 corners went unconverted and the active Lomond keeper proved equal to all there attempts. The game finished 2-2, and Kelburne continue to climb the league with 1 further point. Notably three U-14 players made there competitive senior ladies debuts, demonstrating that the youth production line remains strong. While defender Neave Halliday another U-14 prodigy claimed her 3rd Most Valuable Player award of the season.
Final Score 2-2
Kelburne Ladies 3's face East Kilbride away at duncanrig and are at home at Glasgow Green against Glasgow University in a double header next weekend.
Bromac Kelburne Ladies have won promotion back to National League Division 1 with some fantastic attacking performances, culminating in 2 victories on the final day to secure the Division 2 title. With a very young squad with only really 3 players who had indoor experience they completely dominated the league apart from one weekend, where results went against them. After going the full 1st half with an 100% record, they recovered well from dropping points in the opening weekend of the 2nd half to win all the remaining games.
Commenting on the success coach Adam Bain said:
"Captain Emma Barlow led by example and played some of the best indoor I've seen from her. and Molly Godfrey found her scoring form at the best time. Natalie MacKinnon produced some solid performances in goal and in the last weekend really upped her game under the guidance of Rory Kerr.
It has been a real team effort, Cath McLaughan and Olivia Ritchie who were a really strong pairing at the back and gave the forwards confidence to play. Imogen Davies, Rach Bain, Kath Meenan and Ellise Berry all impressed in their first real season of having more pressure placed upon them. All played extremely well.
New indoor players Iona Grant and Marie Kolasinski played a big part in keeping the squad fresh and entertained, as well as Outdoor captain and vice Stephanie McInally and Ellie Halliday who both stepped in at times to ensure the squad was never under strength.
The girls are looking forward to playing in Division 1 next season and testing themselves at that level"
A great effort by all involed to win the league and congratulations from all at Kelburne!

The club are delighted to see that Alan Forsyth has been selected in the new GB Men's central programme who will be coming together to prepare for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Alan joined the programme in the build up to last years Rio Olympics but was unable to break into the final squad despite an impressive season which saw him named player of the year and also top the scoring charts in England. Alan is joined in the squad by fellow Scot Chris Grassick and both will be working hard over the coming years to make the final squad in 3 years time.
Alan is a fantastic role model for all at Kelburne, having worked his way through the ranks from jockey hockey, making his 1st team debut at 14, before going on to play a key role in a number of league and cup victories for the Men's 1st team, with the most memorable being scoring the winner against Grange to win the Scottish Cup with 2 seconds left in the game.
Although based in Surbiton, Alan is a regular at club events when he returns to Scotland and is a great example of hard work paying off, he has come a long way since his days on the grass at Whitehaugh and all at the club wish him well in his quest for selection.

Veteran sharpshooter Johnny Christie was again in top form as Bromac Kelburne retained their place at the top of the National League yesterday scoring 9 times in victories over Grange and Hillhead. Christie has now amassed an incredible 29 goals in 7 games this year, showing why he can still lay claim to be the best goalscorer in the country.
Christie may be the finisher, however he is well supported by a strong squad who have performed consistently well this year under the guidance of Jeff Cairns. Missing Scotland Senior players Lee Morton, Michael Bremner and goalkeeper Rory Kerr, the depth of the squad was evident as Jonas Nommensen, Jack McKenzie, Adam Bain, Craig Morton and Iain Scholefield all claimed goals in addition to Christie's haul. With the squad also containing Josh Cairns, Gary Maitles, Nick FInlayson and Chris Nelson, there is a growing confidence within the group that they can have a successful season.
The squad now moves onto the split looking to consolidate their position in preparation for the crossover games on the 28th. Full report from Scottish Hockey.

Bromac Men's 1s players Rory Kerr and Lee Morton have been selected for the Scotland squad as they head to the warmer climates of Spain for a training camp to play 3 matches against Russia this weekend.
Morton has previous experience within the group and he will be looking to cement his place within the squad for the upcoming challenges of the World League and EuroHockey Championships. For Rory Kerr, this will be his first experience at this level and is reward for a string of fine displays since joining the club in the summer.
The duo will have a number of familiar faces within the team as ex Burne stars Alan and David Forsyth, Willie Marshall, Ed Greaves and Michael Bremner form the back bone of the squad. Good luck to all involved this weekend.
On the domestic front, the Men's 1s will look to continue their strong start to the Indoor campiagn when they face Grange and Hillhead. Kerr and Morton will be absent but the squad is boosted by the inclusion of Jack McKenzie and veteran indoor specialist Chris Nelson.
On Sunday, the Ladies 1s will continue their quest for promtion to division 1. Coach Adam Bain has selected a strong squad and will be keen to get the second half off to a strong start.
Good Luck to all playing this weekend.
On behalf of the Management Committee I would like to wish all our members and families, sponsors and partners a very Merry Christmas from all at Kelburne.
Recharge your batteries for what will be an exciting and I'm sure highly successful 2017 both on and off the pitch.
The Bromac Men’s 1s squad have made an impressive start to the 1st half of the Indoor season and sit top of the league at the halfway stage. Under the guidance of Jeff Cairns the squad have produced some strong performances and are keen to push on in the 2nd half to secure the clubs first Indoor title.
Notice was served in the first game of the season. Armed with strong squad including the returning Josh Cairns as well outdoor stars Johnny Christie, Iain Scholefield and Lee Morton, and backed by some different tactics from Coach Cairns, the team were able to upset defending champions Inverleith to win 8-4, with Christie leading the way with a hat trick.
In game 2 the team faced another league challenger in Menzieshill and again persisted with the tactic of playing 6 outfield players. Again a positive result was achieved in the form of a 4-4 draw, although both teams had chances to win the game. Scorers in the game were a Christie Hat Trick and Gary Maitles.
Game 3 was a goal glut for the team and the strength of the Indoor squad was shown to the full as Uddingston were demolished 12-1 with a display of powerful attacking hockey, with several fantastic team goals scored. Christie continued his scoring spree, this time with 4, German Jonas Nommensen grabbed three, Craig Morton and Adam Bain bagged doubles and Josh Cairns rounded of the scoring.
In week 2, the team were boosted by the return to the club of Michael Bremner, who has rejoined for the Indoor season, but were hampered by injuries to Cairns and Nick Finlayson. Again the team was able to produce some good attacking hockey to win both games relatively comfortably.
First up was Clydesdale, who were dispatched 9-4. Goals coming from Christie 4, Nommensen 2, Lee Morton 2 and Finlayson. The second game belonged to veteran striker Christie who put local rivals Western Wildcats to the sword with a double hat-trick, taking his total to 20 from 5 games so far. The team were 5-1 up at the interval with a Christie hat trick complimented by goals from Bain and Lee Morton. The second half produced a procession of goals with 3 from Christie to complete his haul as well 2 from Bremner and 1 a piece from Bain and Maitles.
A fantastic year for the squad comes to an end and they will be recharging the batteries in preparation for the upcoming battles in 2017 on both the Indoor and Outdoor front.

Mens' West District Indoor League - Kelburne Beat University of West Scotland - 26.11.16
Match took place at the Lagoon Paisley - PB 09.30
A Comfortable start to the league against a UWS team playing their inaugural WD Indoor match, unfortunately without a GK today in first WD indoor league game.
12-1 victory for KHC
Goals from Finn Halliday (5), Niall taylor (3), Ryan (2), Billy Anderson (2).
Indoor debuts for Lochlan Morris and Gary Brolly, both doing very well.
Kelburne were looking to finish off the 1st half of the outdoor season with a win through in Edinburgh, on a cold afternoon at Peffermill, which would keep them at the top of the league going into the winter break.
It took time for Kelburne to get going and the 1st 20 minutes were below the standards expected but they were still able to find themselves 2-0 up at half time through New Zealander Nick Finlayson and the talented Jack Mckenzie. 1st coming from a short corner deflection and secondly quick thinking of a rebound to put the ball into the roof of the net.
At half time coach Shepherd had a few harsh words to say to rally the boys for the 2nd half and deservingly so as the impact was noticeable from the restart. There was more pace and energy throughout the team resulting in a better all round performance.
A further 2 goals from Jack Mckenzie to complete his hat trick and one from Jonas Nommensen concluded the scoring. Kelburne had numerous chances to score but for some fine goalkeeping keeping the score down.
Kelburne will be happy going into the break on a positive note but there is still a lot of hard work to do on the resuming of the outdoor leauge in February.
Kelburne 5-0 Watsonians
