It was good to get playing time under way and we are very grateful to Tayport for filling the void in this friendly fixture at short notice .First half goals from Alexander Miller (2) and Jonni Turner put us 3-0 up at half time .The third from Miller was quality with a great cross field pass from Craig Scott inch perfect for Miller to fire into top left hand corner .The second half saw the return to the now fit Craig Purves and he did well in his come back game he replaced Chris Townsley at half time . In the middle of the half Nathan Donnelly-Kay ,who signed on this week replaced Jonni Turner with Connor Wallace replacing birthday boy Shaun Donoghue who turned 19 and local youngster Daniel Duncan getting half an hour in place of Craig Scott .Daniel turns 16 this Sunday the 15th of July . Alexander Miller got a fourth and his hat trick on 76 minutes with his own fourth and Broxburn Athletic’s goal number five on 90 minutes .With New signing Greg Binnie getting a sixth in injury time .Overall a good work out ,good performance and something to build on before the real games start at the end of the month in earnest .
