ARDROSSAN THISTLE FOOTBALL CLUB     1885


The Ardrossan and Saltcoats Heralds of 24 April and 8 May 1885 carried the reports below.

SALTCOATS GREEN STREET ROVERS 1 - ARDROSSAN THISTLE 4
The Ardrossan Thistle and Saltcoats Green Street Rovers played a game in Saltcoats (probably on 18 April 1885) in the presence of a few spectators. The Thistle won an easy game by four goals to one.

SALTCOATS BRITANNIA 3 - ARDROSSAN THISTLE 1
Last Friday night (1 May 1885), these teams met on the ground of the former and after a hard-contested game resulted in favour of the Britannia by three goals to one.

Ardrossan Thistle Football Club was apparently founded in 1885 and played only two reported games.
