thebooler 4,509 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 This is a picture of Barskimming Road around the time.The football field is to the right of the horse and cart.I'm gonna look into this a bit more to see if I can come up with any interesting facts, though I've never done anything like this before.The houses in the picture still stand to this day.I used to live in the one 2nd from the top of the street, by the bend in the road.

thebooler 4,509 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Interesting........................................The picture above, taken around the time of the Rangers' visit to the village for a Scottish Cup tie, is the street to the left of the football fields, which are still there today.However, according to the information on this link, the game was actually played at Connel Park, which is now the site of a housing scheme.http://en.wikipedia..../Mauchline_F.C.

thebooler 4,509 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Interesting point here:-Eleven Ayrshire teams have reached the quarter-finals - Kilmarnock (34), Ayr United (12), Annbank, Ayr Parkhouse & Kilmarnock Athletic all twice and Ayr Thistle, Beith, Hurlford, Kilbirnie, Mauchline & Stevenston United all once. Mauchline actually reached the last six. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterC 12,489 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I love reading about the early years and how football was still very much in its pioneering age. Has anyone thought ask Minstral if he was at the game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
