We appreciate the support given the club in recent games and hope we have gave all a lift . The players certainly get a lift from the support given to them . This Saturday we will have representatives from the SFA at the game and behaviour of all is imperative .Clubs can get into serious trouble for breeches of protocol .I am sure we will have a joyous and hopefully a winning day , please endeavour to make  it an enjoyable event for all and enjoy the day .

What can we say ,what a day out in Fife a very creditable 1-1 draw at high flying second division Cowdenbeath was remarkable . If truth be told a draw was the least we deserved out the match and a big game next Saturday in the replay at the Albyn Park with a 3pm kick off . A big thanks to all that travelled today and the players commented on the lift that you all gave the side today .On behalf of the club we would also like to thank you all including the players for making a historic moment in the history of Broxburn Athletic . See you all next week at the Albyn Park #BACK THE BURN

Cowdenbeath have issued details for Saturday’s William Hill Scottish Cup 2nd round . Broxburn Athletic supporter’s will be accommodated in the Old Stand  with entry via the high street turnstiles  .Admission for the game is Adults £10 and Concession’s   £5 (over 65 and under 16 )

A comfortable passage into the next round  of the South Challenge cup  .Two goals from Alexander Miller and Gordon Donaldson set us up but a late goal combined with some fine saves from Daniel Lang  all ways gave the home side a chance up till the final whistle . Some good performance’s all over the park with a few players missing today was very positive going into next week’s William Hill Scottish cup 2nd round at Cowdenbeath .Now we can start thinking about this match and the build up all next week till kick off .

Congratulations to the 20’s Development team who won their first game last night at Clifton Hall School against Preston Athletic  4-2 . After a few disappointments the boys came good last night and hopefully will give them confidence in games coming up . Once again well done boys  .Big thanks to Shelby who played his last possible game as an overage player last night as he has played six games maximum allowed .Shelby will be in the first team squad today at Dunbar United .
