SALTCOATS BOY SUFFOCATED
A distressing fatal accident occurred on Saturday afternoon at a refuse coup at Auchenharvie Colliery, Stevenston.
A number of lads were engaged searching for coal when one of them crept into a hole for the purpose of bringing out some coal. A quantity of loose earth fell and buried him. His companions failed to observe the accident, and some time afterwards a man passing saw the lad’s feet sticking out of the heap.
Assistance was obtained, and he was extricated, but life was extinct.
The body was identified as that of ANDREW PARK ANDERSON, (13), son of Archibald Anderson, miner, residing at 7 Arthur Street, Saltcoats.

SATURDAY 1st APRIL 1972
THREE GOALS IN 7 MINUTES END SALTCOATS HOPES
CUMNOCK 5 SALTCOATS VICTORIA 1
Scorers : Cumnock - Kerr, 12min; Smith, 23 min; Cardie, 63 min; Wilson, 66 min and 70 min.
Saltcoats - Young, 14 min.
Three goals in seven minutes, midway through the second half, crushed any hope Saltcoats might have had and sent Cumnock safely and confidently through to the semi-final of the Ayrshire District Cup.
Until the 63rd minute, when everything started to come off for Cumnock, Saltcoats had fought well enough to be within shooting distance of a semi-final place.
But then Cumnock clicked into top gear and their superior fighting power only stressed the visitors' weaknesses. Saltcoats, who had defended bravely, found that courage was not enough to beat the skilled Cumnock forward play and the home side struck three times to put the issue well beyond doubt.
The greatest flaw in the Saltcoats side's game was their sluggishness up front. They lacked a hard hitting striker who could put the ball in the net and their attacks were all too easily broken up by the home defence.
Cumnock started well and thrust forward for an early goal. Frank Sheridan did not stand on ceremony as the ball was forced down the wing and determinedly booted it away for a corner.
The home side almost got the quick opener they wanted when Childes was beaten to the ball by Kerr but the keeper brought off a brave diving save at the second attempt.
But the pressure had to pay off and in 12 minutes Cumnock took the lead. This goal was a tragedy for Childes who had had some fine saves. Wilson raced away on the left wing and cut the ball high across goal. Childes got to it but could only punch the ball as far as Kerr whose shot struck Caughey and went into goal.
Things looked black at this stage for Saltcoats as Cumnock attacked keen to add to their score, but only two minutes later it was back to level terms. Cardie made a mess of a clearance, the ball broke to Bobby Young and he cracked an unsaveable shot past Bentley from 20 yards.
Cumnock maintained their efforts and only a brave save by Childes from a hanging cross by McCall prevented the home side from regaining their lead.
Minutes later Saltcoats came close.Frankie Clarke dispossessed Keirs and slammed in a low drive which hit the diving Bentley on the chest and was scrambled clear.
Then in 23 minutes Cumnock were in front again. Again it was a mistake by Childes that led to the score. The keeper failed to punch away a McCall cross and Smith netted easily.
Five minutes later John Thomson was carried off with a wrenched knee and McTear was brought on.
Despite tremendous pressure Vics managed to hang on until the interval and as the game progressed it seemed a favourable result was within their grasp. With the wind behind them in the second half hopes were high that Saltcoats would give Cumnock a real fright.
But in the first minute of the restart Vics had a let-off when Barrowman missed an open goal after Childes had failed to hold a Kerr cross.
Saltcoats forced play into the home half but their forwards lacked bite and it was no real surprise when the Cumnock team broke away to score in the 63rd minute.
Wilson cut in from the left wing and put the ball across goal for Cardie to net with the minimum of effort.
Then as the Saltcoats defence began to wilt Wilson struck twice to put Cumnock four goals in front and give Saltcoats too much to do. Vics could claim with some justification that the right winger was in an offside position when he collected the pass before scoring the fifth goal but in the end it scarcely mattered.
Before the end Cumnock brought on Bitten and Kinsella for Kerr and McCall and Vics replaced Gold with Shaw.
Cumnock : Bentley; Ritchie and Watson; Keirs, Hunter and Cardie; Wilson, Smith, Kerr, McCall and Barrowman.
Saltcoats Victoria : Childes; Thomson and Murdoch; Sheridan, Caughey and Nicol; Tierney, Young, Gold, Clarke and Hepburn.

SATURDAY 6th APRIL 1974
LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE AT SALTCOATS
SALTCOATS VICTORIA 1 IRVINE MEADOW 3
For the second time in four months Saltcoats were reduced to ten men against Meadow and lost a game that was there for the taking.
It was 1-1 in the 73rd minute with play swinging from end to end when the ordering-off occurred. Ian Hepburn ( Saltcoats ) and Hugh O'Brien ( Meadow ) exchanged blows as a free-kick was about to be taken. Referee A McFaull ( Glasgow ) sent the Saltcoats player off.
The Saltcoats spectators at Campbell Park hurled angry abuse at McFaull and Cairns was booked for arguing with him.
To add insult to injury he awarded a penalty to Meadow. O'Brien who seemed to relish in the ordering-off of Hepburn scored with the kick but it was retaken due to a Vics man standing in the box. O'Brien shot the retake wide.
The balance had been firmly swung in Meadow's favour, however. Two minutes later they scored - and it looked offside.
Hume broke on the right and the trialist striker shot across the face of the goal. The other trialist was standing on his own as he pushed the ball home.
Five minutes later the Saltcoats defence was caught by a counter-attack and the trialist scorer crossed for Hume to head the third goal.
At half-time Vics keeper Alan Morrison was injured and substitute full-back Isaac Greenaway donned the jersey.
The first 35 minutes of the game were fairly scrappy with an awkward breeze making ball-control difficult.
Meadow's trialist forwards were very alert, however, and Morrison had good saves from each in quick succession.
Saltcoats went ahead in 42 minutes. Reid started the move from midfield and Hepburn laid on a chance for Davis to shoot home.
Two minutes later the trialist winger had a run on the left and his cross was knocked into goal by O'Brien.
Before the ordering-off, it was very tight with the best chances to Vics but fine saves by Hay and lack of support for Davis saved Meadow.
Until the 73rd minute which scarred a fair game Meadow's league hopes may have been in jeopardy.
For the home side Cairns, Thomson, Young who was booked near the end, Greenaway, Reid and an outstanding Davis were best.
Meadow's trialists, and Renfrew and Hume were their star performers while O'Brien put himself in the running for an Oscar.
Worst performer was Mr McFaull who was always 50 yards behind play.
Saltcoats : Morrison; Cairns, Thomson, Young, McCutcheon, Jamieson; Reid, Hepburn, Davis, Pratt, Blackwood. Subs, Greenaway and McGhee.
Meadow : Hay; Adams, Renfrew; McLaughlin, McCrone, Paton; Hume, Short, Newman, O'Brien, Newman. Subs, Nicol and Miller.

HERRING FRY
…..Mr Fullarton, from Saltcoats, observed that about 20 skiffs had been seen that morning coming in from trawling, with quantities of herring fry, of which it took 4000 to 5000 to fill a box; but as they were unfit for human food, no one would buy them, and they were sent off to London.
