The club are pleased to announce the signing of Nathan Donnelly-Kay .Nathan played with the Broxburn Athletic Under 19’s last season and had a dual registration and has played a few games last term for us . Nathan is yet another promising young player looking to follow in the steps of others who have made the step up from the juveniles .

Broxburn succumbed to four second half goals from Spartans after a promising first half . Michael Linton missed a penalty in the half quickly followed by a great save from the hosts keeper when Alexander Miller was through on goals two minutes later .These games are no mark for the season but to get some match fitness in time for the start of the season with our opponents already having played four games at a good level it told in the second half. Lots of positives to take from the game and we move on to training Tuesday and Thursday before next weeks tournament at Kelty .Only players missing today were Kieron Anderson (work) , Darren Gribben (work) , Craig Scott (work ), Craig Purves injured and Chris Townsley holiday .

Preseason training has started and good turn out with only a couple of personnel still on their holidays to come back in . Good sessions so far and the boys are eager to get started .With Saturdays game at Spartans in mind players will be looking to get of to the best possible start .As I allways say preseason friendlies are just that warm up games where players , coaches and managers can see what they have and have to tweek, if any tweeks are needed , to the side or formation .

Please note that Saturday’s game at Spartan’s is a 1pm kick off and not a 1-30pm kick off as was first advertised
