Kenny Harrison c/o The Masonic Arms won £50 in this weeks key draw  but unfortunately did not open the jackpot box .Next week;s jackpot will be £1150 with only five keys left to pick from .Next draw is Sunday 13th of March 2016

Fixtures for next two weeks have been issued with our trip to Musselburgh Athletic  this Saturday 5th of March in the McBookie Superleague with a 2-30pm kick off at Olive Bank  followed by a home game against Hill of Beath in the McBookie Superleague with a 2-30pm kick off .

Kevin MacDonald has decided to give up playing football after snapping his cruciate ligament during last week’s game at Sauchie  .It is very disappointing for “Geordie” who was beginning to show how good a player he is and will be a big loss to the club as will football out of his life will be .We hope he has a speedy recovery and he is successful in the future whatever he has in store .

Next week Saturday the 27th of February Broxburn are away to Sauchie in a McBookie Superleague match  with a 2-30pm kick off  .

A bad day for the east in the ETHX Energy Scottish junior cup with both Linlithgow Rose and Bonnyrigg Rose crashing out to heavy defeats from west region sides Bonnyrigg lost 5-0 at home to a good looking Pollock side and Linlithgow Rose lost 4-1 away to Killwinning Rangers  . That leaves Carnoustie (at home to Auckinleck Talbot ) and Camelon and Kelty Hearts who play each other flying the flag for the east region hopefully this week coming . A lot of late call offs but well done to Armadale for getting their match on with Montrose Roselea  in the Premier league  and it ended 1-1 .
