Paisley Pirates continued their triumphant league campaign with a dominant 5-1 win against North Ayrshire Wild.

Auchenharvie witnessed Aiden Wilson's exceptional performance as he scored twice, with Chris Wilson, Bari McKenzie, and Cale Tanaka also contributing to the scoreboard.

Paisley Pirates now boast three wins from three matches, placing them third in the league with six points, level with Dundee, but trailing leaders Whitley by two points despite having played one less game.



The team have netted 13 goals and allowed six, resulting in a plus-seven goal difference.

North Ayrshire’s lineup featured familiar faces, including former Pirates netminder Euan Simpson and forward Ross Andreucci, both playing against their old club.

The match was not without its share of drama as Pirates defender Calum Blair, currently marking his 15th year with the club, faced ejection due to a third-man-in infraction.

Cale Tanaka, with his stellar performance, was named the Pirates’ Man of the Match.

The Pirates now set their sights on a tough away double-header.



On Saturday, October 3, at 6.30pm, they will play against Edinburgh, who also started the season perfectly with two wins, currently sitting fifth with four points.

Following this, Paisley will travel to Dumfries on Sunday, October 4, to face fourth-placed Solway at 5.15pm, who have secured five points from their opening five games.

Fans are encouraged to support as the Pirates aim to extend their unbeaten run through another crucial weekend.
