We would like to wish all our sponsors and supporter’s and our invisible helpers for their support this festive season . We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it comes in 203 Have fun stay safe and see you all in the new year .
We would like to thank former players Stevie Pitman, Derek McWilliams and Gary Maley for filling in a bounce game and providing opposition with Livingston development side last night after Dunbar Utd pulled out at the last minute . Broxburn took the lead through Errol Douglas with Livingston drawing level through a penalty kick . The second half started well and a good performance through out saw us get two hat tricks through Greg Binnie and Darren Downie to finish the scoring 7-1 . A worthwhile exercise to get much needed game time after bad weather etc saw us idle the past couple of weeks . We wish the Livingston lads all the best in their development and hope to see them progress in their careers .
This week’s Keydraw was won by John Rafferty jr who wins £50 as Shaun Harrison who helped with the draw failed to pick the correct key to open the Jackpot box . Next draw will have a Jackpot of £950 with 8 keys left to pick from . The next draw will be next Tuesday the 27th December at 7.30pm live on our facebook page . We thank Shaun for his help with the draw .
Bitterly disappointed we did not get playing today but with standing water on the 4G surface suggested problem underneath the surface which was a danger to players . The whole 18 yard box was effected some parts worse than others . Could have been put off earlier in our opinion saving a lot of people a waste of time and expense . On behalf of Broxburn we apologise for any inconvenience this caused today and hopefully lessons have been learned going forward .
Tomorrow’s match away to Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts will have a 10am inspection . It is currently 50/50 according to the hosts and will be dependant on over night temperatures . We will inform all as soon as the decision comes through on our social media pages .
