Scottish Junior Cup: Never-before-seen photos of Auchinleck Talbot's 2006 triumph

Title triumphs, cup celebrations and promotion parties.

They're the best moments for any footballer or football fan.

Reaping the rewards of a successful campaign simply can't be beaten.

We know these memories are special. That's why our teams of photographers do their best to capture them forever.

Only a select few pictures can make it into our newspapers meaning a large number of great snaps end up on the cutting floor.

But with sport currently at a standstill due to the coronavirus outbreak, it's the perfect opportunity for us to dive deep into our archives and get those never-before seen images out there.

Over the coming weeks we'll be looking back at some memorable triumphs featuring Ayrshire Junior football teams.

This time we've gone back to 2006 and Auchinleck Talbot's 2-1 Scottish Junior Cup final triumph against Bathgate - a record seventh time the Bot had won the competition.

Check out our gallery below for almost 50 never published before photographs from the day, courtesy of snapper Steve McKendrick.

If you'd like your team featured, send an email to eric.mcgowan@reachplc.com and we'll do our best to accommodate.
