Last Tuesday, we took on Cumbernauld Colts in the Lowland League Cup Quarter Final at Albyn Park.

Broxburn Athletic are in their traditional kits, Red and white shirts, white shorts and red and white socks.

Broxburn Athletic make three changes from Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Celtic B. In comes Alasdair Shrive, Kyle Bell and Robbie Hamilton, who replace Scott McCrory Irving, Luke Watkins and Jon Robertson.

Cumbernauld Colts make two changes to their 3-1 loss to Celtic B on Saturday the 7^th of February. In comes Patrick Moy and JJ Stevenson who replace Jay Gilles and Jack Devlin.

Both teams had their share of the ball in the first half, without many talking points and not a single shot on target.

First real chance came from the visitors on the twenty fifth minute. Adam Fernie does well to keep the ball in play before getting his cross into the box. His cross finds the head of Thomas Horn who heads wide.

Big shouts for a Broxburn penalty on twenty-nine minutes. Kyle Bell plays a great cross field ball to advanced Robbie McGale on the right. His shot looks to come of a Colts hand. But referee Duncan Williams waves play on. Broxburn have the ball in the back of the net on thirty-four minutes. Gallagher Lennon’s long ball finds Kane Thomson, who chips Colt’s keeper Harry Broun and the ball drops into the empty net. But he is offside.

 Half Time (0-0)

On fifty-three minutes, a shot by Cumbernauld Colts midfielder JJ Stevenson fizzes past the left-hand post.

A Kyle Bell shot is over the bar on fifty-eight minutes.

Cumbernauld Colts make a treble change on seventy-six minutes. On comes Mark McCafferty and Abraham Osemeke who replace Daniel Hatfield and Thomas Horn.

It wasn’t a good night for us last night. Three subs on the bench, one being a keeper and the other two carrying knocks. Wasn’t much between the sides. But Colts took their chance. We look to get back to winning ways on Friday night against Hearts B.
