The club played their first Development league match on Friday past and were held 0-0 at home to Inverkeithing Swifts .The lads done well having just been gathered during a few weeks prior to kick off  . The Development team is just that we are looking to develop players to give them a chance to make the first team and with some hard work this is very achievable .We continue our league matches this Friday when we travel to Kilmarnock to play Bonnyton Thistle Football Club at the Synergy Arena with a 8pm kick off . We then Travel to Kelty Hearts next Wednesday to play Kelty Hearts development side in the league before we return home (Clifton Hall School ) next Friday the 6th of September,  to play Camelon with an 8pm kick off . Your support would be gratefully appreciated .

We made it hard for us in the first half but the second half was a much improved performance  and the early penalty miss was forgotten as we ran in four goals without reply . Second half goals came from Donaldson, Kelly and two from captain Nicholas Locke . A good result and performance overall to take into our William Hill Scottish cup next week at Girvan . The next round of the SFA South Challenge Cup will be played on September the 14th when we will be at home to Edinburgh University  with a 2-30pm kick off .

Saturday’s cup tie with Tynecastle has a change of kick off , due to the gala day parade taking place and roads being closed . The game will kick off at 3-00pm  instead of the advertised 2-30pm kick off .

Wednesday’s under 20’s development team friendly due to be played at Blackburn has been switched to Broxburn due to Blackburn United’s park being double booked with a 8pm kick off .We appreciate the Broxburn Ath colt  clubs that were due to train rescheduling their pitch bookings to allow this game to go ahead ,it is very much appreciated at this short notice .

Broxburn Athletic travel to Perth next week for a Football Nation cup tie .There will be a bus with limited availability for supporter’s to book a seat on .The bus will be leaving the Albyn park at 11.45am .Anybody wishing a seat on the bus should contact the committee as soon as possible . The game itself kicks off at 2-30pm  and will be played to a finish .

Broxburn Athletic progressed to the next round of the William Hill Scottish Cup after a 2-0 win at home to Tynecastle . Broxburn sealed the win with two first half goals from Conor Kelly and Alexander Miller  Tynecastle came into the game in the second half but to no avail with Broxburn creating the better chances .An away tie to Girvan in three weeks after they beat St Cuthberts away from home 7-1 today will be a tough tie to get through to the first round proper .

Less than 48 hours to go before we play Tynecastle in the first prelim round of the William Hill Scottish cup . The players have put in a good week of training in preparation for the match and are looking forward to our adventure with the prospect of a good run and hopefully getting to the stages where we will be drawn against the bigger league teams . In the meantime we have to make sure we are well prepared and ready for the whistle at 3-00pm and personally I can not wait . Tynecastle will be up for it as well and any slackness will be taken advantage off by either side . We will not be treating this tie lightly despite what others may say or think Tynecastle are more than capable of a win .Let’s hope we play to our full potential and can get the result that sees us progress .

Our under 20’s took on Tynecastle 20’s on Wednesday evening and lost 3-1 .Most of the visitors played in the successful 17’s side last season that swept the board with trophies including the Scottish cup .Still a few players short and are looking to add to the squad before the Lowland Development league please see advert below
