I am sure all would have heard the sad news that Alan Kerr a life long supporter of the club past away at the beginning of last week. His  funeral will be held on Tuesday the 13th of August at 2pm at West Lothian Crematorium .There after , all are welcome to join the family at Albyn Park ,Broxburn Athletic Football Club , for refreshments and snacks .

A share of the spoils today at Camelon was about right . The first half finished blank but Camelon scored in the first minute of the second through Jordan Herron before Nicholas Locke got a leveller which was immediately countered with a second for the hosts through David Morrison . The equaliser was top drawer from Craig Scott who fired into the roof of the net from 40 yards out . (full report under matches on website )

The under 20’s notched up their  first win despite again being short of numbers . With the majority of the players back in the next couple of week’s it was  good to see them come back from a 2 goal deficit to win 3-2 . A morale boost no doubt with the win coming over a experienced Dunipace side .Their next friendly in the build up to the season which starts at the end of the month  is on Wednesday the 7th of August against Tynecastle with a 8pm kick off at the Albyn Park ..

The under 20’s took on a experienced Pumpherston junior side and all though they lost 5-3 was a lot of positives that the fledgling team can take from these games as they build a squad to compete in the Development league .They will be playing again on Friday night at the Albyn Park 2nd of August with a 7-45pm kick off .

A welcome three points with a good performance over a good Crossgates side . Goals from Beesley (2) ,Donaldson and Kelly set up a good win before two very late goals took the shine of the result with their goals coming from Lewis Crosbie and Lewis Sawers with Crosbie accidently clashing with Connor Wallace as he slid the ball under the advancing keeper  and received a bad injury for which he went after the game to get checked out at hospital . We hope his injury is not as bad as it looks and he makes a speedy recovery .

A good game to open up the season with a draw probably a fair result ,but had we taken our chances we would have won comfortably but  despite a lot of the game the first half we only had a Andrew Gillen goal to show for our efforts . Boness came into the game the second half and got their equaliser through Ryan Stevenson   A lot of positives from the game today and hope we can take them into our next game away to Crossgates on Wednesday evening  the 31st of July with a 7-30pm kick off in the Premier league .
