With the crisis around the world beginning to create unprecedented situations through out all walks off life .  .we hope all concerned stay safe and we will get through this together .Anyone who is having difficulty coping and needs any help we can help with, do not hesitate to contact the club and if we can we will do what we possibly can  to help. The club is now on lock down and we will keep you up dated when we are informed from the authorities handling the crisis .The one thing we have bringing in income is our Keydraw which is at a critical stage with only three keys left and a £1300 jackpot .With pubs and restaurants etc being closed down for an  a un specified time and contact with people and funders to be cut to a minimal  ,  we feel it would be unfair to carry on under the circumstance’s .The jackpot will be frozen and keys frozen until the situation improves giving everybody a fair chance to continue supporting our fund raiser .We will give plenty of notice when this will resume in the meantime stay safe and follow all instructions being given out and this will be over sooner rather than later .

On advice from the SFA who in turn received advice from medical officer .There will be no activity at the park until further notice regarding  football training .This is indeed going to be a long haul and I hope all come through it unscaved . The situation is unprecedented  and we will update you on our social media as soon as we find out any information you should know . The hall is still operational to outside hirers  and it will be up to them and their associations what they do next .

The SFA have told all clubs from the top to grassroots that due to the Coronavirus all football will be suspended until further notice . As yet no one knows how long this will last and updates will be posted when and if they are issued in due course . This is unprecedented situation across the world and we will all have to be patient and hope this passes quickly . The English football authorities have put a review date of the 4th of April where as we have no limit to the suspension in Scotland .It will undoubtedly be a challenging time for clubs and we hope all come through this period safe and sound .

As comfortable as the 6-1 score line would suggest , it was done with a professional polished performance ..With the squad down to bare bones with illness and injury ,the strength of squad shone through . A hat trick from Connor Kelly added to by goals from Scott Richards ,Greg Binnie and Jack Beesley sees us progress through to the third round which is scheduled for Saturday the 18th of April and the draw is still to be made .The strength of the squad is going to be vital in the week’s to come with mid week matches scheduled for the next few week’s .Ryan Foggo from the under 20’s got some first team game time in the cup tie . We wish Coldstream all the best for the rest of the season and thank them for their hospitality  .

We have been given our remaining fixture’s until the end of the season . Fixtures scheduled for midweek Wednesday may be changed to Tuesday nights ,we will update in due course . Missing dates are for future rounds of the league cup subject to Saturday’s result at Coldstream .  . Below is the remaining fixture’s for the club

Todays game was not the best first 45 minutes to watch but on the second half display we just shaded a very tough match . The goal late in the game from John Grant was worth the wait as we climb to second in the table after today . We will continue to chase down Boness United in our quest for the title . .

This week’s match at home to Sauchie in the Central Taxi’s Premier league will be played at Livingston Football Club’s “Tony Macaroni Stadium” with a 3-00pm kick off . Broxburn Athletic season tickets are valid for this match and like the last game against Dunbar United we will be accommodated in the East stand with Adults £6 and Concessions £3 .This will be our last home game on our travels with the park almost guaranteed to be handed back to us next week some time .
