BROXBURN ATH V BONESS UTD
Disappointing result today lost a goal from set piece before getting back on level terms through Ross Nimmo .only to lose 2 goals in the second half that were very avoidable ..Competed well for about an hour but second goal was a sucker punch and knocked us out our stride as Boness went on to get a third to secure the points . (full report in matches & fixtures asap .

Penicuik Ath v Broxburn Ath
A poor display first half gave Penicuik the platform to take all three points four goals shipped by long ball tactics was not easy on the eye .The second half was much better but we gave ourselves far to much to do following the first half collapse .Positives we did look better the second half and on another day chances created may have gone our way but we just have to dust ourselves down and go to Kirkcaldy next week and put in a performance that can see us through to the next round of the Conservatory Convertors Fife & Lothian’s cup .(match report on matches & fixtures asap )
