Boness United

A terrific performance coming back twice with a make shift set up after injuries and work commitments left us without a recognised defence .Losing a goal as we did by a O.G. to gift the hosts the lead was not good but the Kieron Anderson free kick from 30 yards out lit up Newtown park for the Boness lad . The hosts regained the lead with about twenty minutes remaining through former Broxburn player Fraser Keast . We never gave in and a great run by Kieron through the middle of the park and a finely weighted ball into the path of Alexander Miller in the last minute silenced some of the Boness crowd that had been giving Anderson a hard time . We fully deserved something from the game and the spirit in the squad is high and looking good for the future . Good to see Alexander Murray get some game time at last .

The club are pleased to announce that Brian McNaughton will be the new manager and will be ably assisted by Steve Hislop .Brian we all know and Steve brings to the club a wealth of experience from both on and off the park .Aged 39 he was 12 years in senior football before going into the junior ranks and played up until 3 years ago .
