16 OCTOBER 1893
FOOTBALL – AYRSHIRE COMBINATION
KILBIRNIE v. STEVENSTON THISTLE
The visitors were short of two of their usual team, but they had capable subs in Somerville at goal and Hamilton at half-back, while Carson was an absentee from the home team, G. Todd taking his place.
A. Low kicked off up the hill and against the wind for Kilbirnie. Stevenston repulsed in good style, and made a vigorous attack, scoring five minutes from the start. Play raged in midfield for a time, then Kilbirnie made it hot for their opponents. But the defence was good. From a break away the Thistle right wing got the second point for the visitors. Kilbirnie now pressed severely, and from a pass by A. Low number one was scored for the home team by F. Watt.
The remainder of this part was equally contested, but no further scoring took place.
After the interval the home team started off briskly, and Todd equalised. Then Kilbirnie had it pretty much their own way, the match ending in favour of Kilbirnie by 3 goals to 2.

STEVENSTON HARRIERS
There was a good turnout of the members at the weekly run of this club on Saturday.
The hares (Messrs Ross and Brown) were despatched at 4.20, followed by the pack seven minutes later, paced by R. Campbell, with H. McMillan, whip.
The trail lay through the fields of Dubbs Farm, across the railway tracks, skirting the chlorine works, then on to the road alongside the Garnock by way of Ardeer Factory, past Misk Farm, Lucknow, and through the sandhills on the homeward course, finishing up with a nice run.
Distance 5½ miles.
The weather was dull and the ground soft from heavy rains.

Here is a question that I've been meaning to ask for ages. It's been mentioned a lot in this sort of report.Penny Tray wrote: ↑Wed Oct 16, 2019 8:02 am GLASGOW HERALD

Re: Stevenston - On This Day In History
JD,
The act of removing part of the roof or pavement, either by blasting or other means, in order to heighten the passage into a mine, was called "brushing," and the person whose job it was to do this was designated a "brusher".

Re: Stevenston - On This Day In History
Thanks PT.
I had it my mind that it was some kind of menial sweeper-up, while it was really a job with some serious responsibility.
How wrong can you be?
