Stirling Uni v Broxburn

A good start to the pre-season build up with Zander Miller getting a goal in each half to cap a fine early performance from the whole team .These games are more about performances than results and both were on display today as the boys deserved to win  despite a depleted squad  due to holidays and injuries  . We started well and right through the side it was a positive performance  against our Lowland league hosts  . We looked sharp and eager to help each other as team work was excellent .Conditions were not too bad on an open pitch with a wind at our backs the first half but we adapted well with the wind in our face the second half and restricted the home side to few chances  and created a few ourselves  one of which we took .  The first goal came after 27 minutes and perseverance gave us a second with 10 minutes to go . Just like to thank the supporter’s who made it to day and hope you liked what you saw even at this early stage .
