Frustrating afternoon to have played so well with ten men after Connor Wallace was sent off after 20 minutes was also so disappointing as we for large parts of the game outplayed the run away league leaders .Shaun Donoghue took over in goals with Kieron Anderson being sacrificed . a goal from the hosts five minutes from half time and a second on 70 minutes flattered the hosts as all who witnessed the game will confess . Thought we deserved something out the game with the players efforts and there are lots of positive’s to be taken from this defeat. ( full report on website matches on Sunday morning )

It is with sadness that we announce that former President and Honory President ,George Black , has passed away on Sunday morning >George Joined the committee of Broxburn Athletic in 1974 and was a tremendous servant and supporter of the club having been president and was given an honory Presidentship for his services to the club . he represented the club and regional level and continued to support the club after standing down from the committee in the eighties .He was a life member of the East Region and despite his recent illness was often seen home and away supporting “The Burn ” .The clubs thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time .

A good three points in a much overdue win over Boness today was well deserved . Despite an Anderson missed penalty we kept the pressure up and scored through Grant Gavin from the resultant corner . Continued pressure through out the half did not produce any more deserved goals .When Boness did find their way through they found Connor Wallace in inspired form to deny his former club . A good three points and keeps our unbeaten record going since late November .

The club would like to thank the Patrons of The Badger’s Brook who through a bottle collection organised through John Cunningham ,raised a magnificent sum of £330 which they handed over at last week’s home game against Newtongrange Star . We appreciate the effort and this will go towards helping the club compete in the Superleague and stay there .long may your support of the club continue .
