Lochar Thistle Welcome to the homepage for Lochar Thistle
(members of the Dumfries and District Amateur Football League, affiliated to the S.A.F.A. and S.F.A.)

 
Lochar Thistle are long standing members of the DDAFL and this season will start their 43rd in the league. Club Chairman George Kirk has been associated with the club for 40 of those years in many different roles including team manager. Over the years Lochar have had some pretty useful sides but before last season had only won the league title on one occasion in 1982/83, finishing as runners-up on another four occasions. They have contested their fair share of cup finals and although they have lost more than they have won over the years, their recent performances have been much better and the club had their best season recently winning 4 cups in a row over the 05/06 and 06/07 seasons.

The team have steadily improved over the past few of seasons and the fact that they have contested many cup finals in that time and finished in second and third in the league shows how consistent they are.
 
Their title win last season was well deserved with the side going undefeated over the league season recoding 13 wins and 1 draw and 0 losses. The club also contested 5 finals, winning two, the QoS and Tayleurian. They will be keen to repeat that success and will look to strengthen again over the close season.
