ARDROSSAN’S FIRST FOOTBALL MATCH
It will be seen from our advertising columns that the Ardrossan Castle Football Club intend playing their opening game at football today and, as this game is rather exciting and amusing both for players and spectators, not to speak of the novelty of the game in this district, we have no doubt that many who have never seen football played properly will avail themselves of this opportunity.
