Girvan boss in quit shock

Jun 19 2009 by Mike Wilson

GIRVAN are looking for a new manager after Willie Thomson quit on Monday evening.

Thomson, who led Girvan to fourth place in the First Division, was only one win away from steering them into a Premier League play-off against Glenafton.

He has cited family commitments for his decision to leave Hamilton Park after two seasons.

Secretary Ronnie Hutcheson said: “Willie did a superb job but we understand his reasons. There is no other club involved.”

Girvan could turn to a present player to fill the hot seat but are inviting applicants. Call Ronnie on 01465 714780.

IRVINE MEADOW bid to end the season with a four trophy haul tonight (Thursday). The Premier League champions, who also won the Ayrshire Cup and Ardagh Cup, play Pollok in the final of the Evening Times Cup at Newlandsfield.

A Chris McGowan deflected shot gave Meadow a 1-0 win away to Blantyre Vics on Monday evening.

Meadow have signed former Ayr United full-back David Lowing who was freed by Stirling. They have also added ex-Killie youngster Gary Wild from Petershill.
