A good victory today over a good opposition and progress into the last eight of the Alec Jack cup was a very satisfactory afternoon up in Perth against Jeanfield Swifts Conor Kelly’s first half goal was well defended and could have seen the game go any way until Alexander Miller scored with five minutes left gave us a just result . Teams also through today are  Dalkeith Thistle , Camelon , Boness , Dunipace , Hill of Beath , Tranent  and Edinburgh United who won their first round match today and still to play their second round tie against Haddington Athletic . The third round draw will be made soon .

Comprehensive win over a poor Ormiston side who did create a few awkward moments for Broxburn but we were professional in our display and finishing and it could have been more having hit the woodwork three times . Three goals from substitute Ross Nimmo and a double from Alexander Miller was added to by Gordon Donaldson ,Conor Kelly and Greg Binnie . Will be a tougher test next week at Jeanfield Swifts in the Alec Jack cup .

A great result for the boys at the weekend with a blistering start going 1-0 up in 30 seconds followed by another on eight minutes .Despite Gretna pulling one back on ten minutes we went in 3-1 up at half time a lead we held until the final minute when they got two goals in a minute to send the match into extra time where Alexander Miller completed his hat trick to win the match adding to Nicholas Locke’s opener . Reward for this is a home tie against Preston Athletic dates to be announced
