So near yet so far ,when up 2-0 we were in a great position but credit to Bonnyrigg who never gave up and their ten men secured the title in the last ten minutes . We can be proud of the effort of the players this season and giving us the dream . We will be playing in the newly formed premier league next season which everybody knows will probably be a better league to play our football in and competition will be better for the club.

Disappointing result today and now for the first time this season relying on another club doing us a favour if we are to progress to the championship . An even game  separated by one goal .

We have taken a massive leap in the history of Broxburn Athletic .After today’s clinching of the Conference league “c” ,we are two games away from the Lowland League .Goals from Donaldson ,Harrison , Nimmo and Binnie in the first half secured the league . A round robin will now take place and after today’s results we now play Penicuik Athletic at Penicuik next Saturday the 27th of April with a 2-30pm kick off .Then Bonnyrigg Rose will host Penicuik Athletic in mid week with the final game of the round robin here at the Albyn Park on Saturday the 4th of May when we will host Bonnyrigg Rose with a 2-30pm kick off ..The format of the play offs is as follows it will be three points for a win ,one point each for a draw but if there is a draw there will be a penalty shoot out for an extra point to try and avoid a stalemate at the end of the round robin  games .Tonight we party and let our hair down but Tuesday we regroup and prepare ourselves for two tough games in the next two weeks .
