JULY 2025

Matchday 1 - 26/07/2025
Clydebank 2-0 East Stirlingshire
Lowland League at Holm Park, Clydebank: kick-off 15.00
The Shire lost 2-0 to newly-promoted Clydebank at Holm Park last Saturday
Manager Pat Scullion's post-match verdict: The match was tight. We played well for long spells against a top Clydebank team in front of a big home crowd. But tonight was the frustrating one. We had spells tonight too but you have to be consistent over 90 minutes.

Matchday 2 - 29/07/2025
East Stirlingshire 1-2 Albion Rovers
Lowland League at Ochilview Park, Larbert: kick-off 19.45

Ahead of the Albion Rovers match, Manager Pat Scullion stressed that he wasn’t too worried about having no points on the board. Last season, the Shire endured a difficult start before going on a strong run mid-season. Against an expenses-only Albion Rovers team, the Shire led early on through Stephen O’Neill but conceded second half goals by Rovers' Tony Garth and Chris Neeson with the homesters Tony Coutts being sent off for two yellows.

Manager Pat Scullion's post-match verdict: "Tonight was frustrating. We had spells but you have to be consistent over ninety minutes. We could have been three or four goals up at half-time. The Lowland League is unforgiving in that sense and we know that already. You have to take your chances when you are on top. It’s that simple really. We managed to get an early goal but we didn’t build on that and missed a couple of big chances. We had the chance to manage the game well but we didn’t. "

"They hit the post on the stroke of half-time but didn’t create much. In the second half, they were the better team and they countered on us well. The red card didn’t help when you are then having to try and chase the game. We gifted them two goals, that is the frustrating part. We are missing a few defensive bodies already and now, with Tony out, that becomes more difficult. Hopefully we can have more faces available quickly. But that may still be a couple of games away."

The team's next match is a home encounter with Bo'ness United and Pat Scullion made a brief reference to the forthcoming fixture: "Bo’ness have brought in a lot of players over the summer and they had a good result last Saturday against Civil. It is still early in the season. It would be a good game to win but we go into every game trying to win.”

AUGUST 2025

Matchday 3 - 01/08/2025
East Stirlingshire 1-3 Bo'ness United
Lowland League at Ochilview Park, Larbert: kick 19.45
A brace by Bo'ness's Ryan Stevenson and a first Bo’ness goal for Jordan Armstrong secured the three points for the visitors. Stevenson’s first-half opener was cancelled out by the Shire's Stephen O’Neill three minutes into the second forty-five, following a penalty kick which saw Irving ordered off. Despite being a man down, Bo'ness went on to score twice with a cracker from Stevenson and a close-range effort from Armstrong securing the three points.
