Well we keep on saying it box office at Premier League matches for as little as £3  or £7 doesn’t come better than this . Six goals sandwiched between controversial penalties and goals and to cap it all off just when you thought the game was going to peter out , not likely . The referee did well only to send two off the field of play after a melee with five minutes remaining . The hosts took the lead after 14 minutes when Martin Lawrie scored from the spot . Broxburn took a half time lead through Ross Allum and David Greenhill . An early Cameron Ross goal in the second half was followed by a controversial penalty with the referee consulting his assistant who originally had not indicated any thing wrong , giving the spot kick with Martin Lawrie  scoring again from the spot . Goal of the game came in 80 mins when great one two’s carved open the home defence before Cammie Ross despatched the ball into the back of the net . After the melee there was more red when two goal hero for the home side received a second yellow card after stopping another Cammie Ross run towards goal . We now concentrate on Wednesday’s home match against Hill of Beath in the Premier League  with a 7.30pm kick off .

The preliminary draw for the Scottish cup was drawn today and Broxburn Athletic have been drawn away to Dunbar United . This is scheduled for Saturday the 28th of August , details of ticket arrangements will be announced as soon as we have them .

Another excellent performance from the team tonight with goals from Liam Ireland , Greg Binnie and Cameron Ross answering a first half  opener from the hosts by Robert McKenzie . With players not getting a decent break and games coming thick and fast it is tribute to the full squad that they are stepping up to the plate and producing performances like tonight’s . Well done to all and keep up the good work the supporter’s appreciate the efforts being put in . We now concentrate on Saturday’s League match at Blackburn where we will be looking to keep up the good run .

Going into this game we had to call on all our resources to get a result . The players did the colours well . Injuries are crippling us but the strength we have in depth has seen us through the past couple of weeks .The squad are raising the bar for their team mates to meet as competition will become fierce when all fit .  Another returnee , Gordon Donaldson made captain for the game put in a captain’s performance receiving the man of the match award  With goals from Ross Allum and Cammie Ross settling the game with Taylor Hendry getting one back before the break for the hosts . Broxburn could have added more to the score line had some of their many second half chances been turned in , but three points away from home in this league are very grateful . We now patch ourselves up and prepare for quick return to play on Tuesday evening away to Whitehill Welfare this time in the East of Scotland Qualifying cup 1st round with a 7.30pm kick off

Well if that was not value for money i do not know what is . So low after 20 minutes going down 3-0 then to score in the last minute to win the match 4-3 , what a roller coaster ride .  Goals from Ferguson , Peden and Smith had the visitors packing the three points in their kit bag to get ready to take home . Broxburn had other ideas and the mood of the visitors changed when Broxburn cut the deficit to one by the brake with goals from Nimmo and Purves . A thunderous strike half way through the second half  from Greenhill game the home side the desire to push for a winner with Newtongrange struggling to get back into the rhythm that so them race into a 3 goal lead . The pressure paid off for the home side when a Allum strike deep into injury time sealed the valuable three points back , that were in the Star locker room early doors .  We now have a rest from midweek games and have time to ease the week and get ready for the game next Saturday away to Tynecastle  in the league at Meggatland  Stadium in Edinburgh .
