The first competitive match at New Western Park took place on Sunday 8th August 2018 against local rivals Johnstone Burgh. Renfrew FC had played home matches the year before at Burgh's Keanie Park so it was fitting that they helped us kick off a new era of football in the town. A crowd of 350 saw Alain Kinney score the first ever goal at New Western Park and Scott Arthur added a 2nd goal as Frew beat Burgh 2-0 in their opening Sectional League Cup group match.
