Newton Stewart

And so do National 2, plenty of points in this division as well.

Dundee 38, Preston Lodge 24, Falkirk 58, Howe 5 36, Highland 98, Kirkcaldy 7, Newton Stewart 33, Stumel 21, and Peebles 22, Gordonians 7, which means Highland top of the table unbeaten with bonus points, 20 for them.

Falkirk in second with 16.

Gordonian's 15.

Peebles 13.

Newton Stewart 12.

Kirkcaldy 10.

Dundee 9.

Celtic, B, one.

Newton Stewart, two.

Dalby, a star.

I think for me, Craig, there was obviously a full card in midweek as well in the Lowen League.

Aye,

no, definitely.

Newton Stewart, Battle of the South, Battle of the South, Newton Stewart, Dalberti Star, Newton Stewart get the win.

I don't mean this in any bad way against Dalberti Star before any of the Dalbertians come for me, but I was really pleased for Newton Stewart because they've been They've been contributing to most of their games, apart from maybe the 9-0 against Auchinleck.

Yeah.

I mean, you've got eight teams on the borders if, if you include Newton Stewart as well as, uh, in the ITV area that, that, that we cover.

And, um, and that's eight teams who are all away, and now they're all at home this week.

Yeah.

Turning to National Two, well, the results from last week, Gordonians 45, Dundee 42.

The high point scores continue.

Howa Fife 17, Newton Stewart 36.

Newton Stewart getting their first win there.

Yes, we do.

In Wigtown, right? Sorry, at Newton Stewart, which is at the Galloway Distillery, which is Sam Heughan's Galloway Distillery.

Newton Stewart, yes.

And so we are going next Friday.

You know Sam Heughan's Galloway Distillery? Yeah, I

It will spoil the views and isn't really a bad idea.

For those of you who don't know what Cairnholy is, I've actually done a video about Cairnholy, It is a Neolithic site just up the coast from Newton Stewart, or between Newton Stewart and Kirkcudbright, to give you the sort of closest larger towns.

And it is older than pyramids as a site.

It has been used as a ceremonial site and it has been used as a burial cairn since 4000 BC.

So being a simple person who didn't quite comprehend what 160 would be, going, oh, it's just eight eights times or so.

So I found 160 quotes from Crockett that were from...

Heston Island right across to Newton Stewart and I painstakingly wrote all the quotes out.

And then we brought them all down and I realised how heavy 160 slates were.

No, but we just wanted to, we knew obviously that, I think our team, I think we played obviously through and ready for it, etc.

They would have fancied that against us and we fancied that against them and as we started racking up the points and then I think we had Dalbeattie and Newton-Stewart we didn't actually play too well against Dalbeattie and then we went into Newton-Stewart and we were terrible to be honest with you I'll be honest with you but on the day we just massively let ourselves down so that's the one that's sitting in the throat a wee bit that's the only points that we've lost we've been sitting here with a clean record but No, for us, we just want to try and build up as much momentum as we can, get into the, play these so-called big teams.

But again, you look at, we played B, we've managed to beat Celtic B, who are doing really well as well.

So, Johnston Borough were tipped today really well at the start of the season.

Unbelievable.

National Two results from last week, Dundee 17, Kirkcaldy 22, Gordonians 54, Preston Lodge 15, Highland 70, Howar 5-0, Newton Stewart 24, Falkirk 27, Peebles Thirty-nine, Stu Mel 26.

So Highland, Peebles, and Gordonians out of the traps quickly, unbeaten two out of two.

Howa Fife losing 70-nil at Highland is, for me, a bit of a shock.

Yeah, they'll be looking for three from three.

Kirkcaldy away.

Well, the Saturday lineup is Gordonians against Dundee, Howa Fife against Newton Stewart, both winless, Kirkcaldy v Peebles, who know obviously each other very, very well, Preston Lodge, the newcomers against Falkirk, and Stu Mel against Highland.

Uh, very interesting ones there.

The art town, the artist's town.

You've also got Newton Stewart, another really up and down course, quite a hilly one as well.

You've got in Dumfries, obviously, you've got the county and the Galloway, two pretty well considered courses.

And then you've got Southerness as well, probably the jewel of that area.

Um, so that'll be, it'll be interesting to see.

And Shanker's just saying he thinks their only points drop was against Newton Stewart as well.

It's mental.

Aye, which is why-

That's why we love it, Shanker.

That's why we love football, 'cause things like that happen, you know?

Aye, that's, that's the funny thing, 'cause Newton Stewart bottom of the league.

That's, uh...
