Broxburn had the first chance with a good move on 9 minutes when Nico Gibson put the ball through to Conor Kelly and he cut it back to Scott Richards on the edge of the box but his shot went just over the bar . The opening goal came after 17 minutes when a good run by Nicholas Locke was passed out to Cameron Ross who’s shot was well saved  but as the ball broke out right CONOR KELLY picked it up and fired home from outside the box on the right hand side deceiving all to find the back of the net . A couple of minutes later a corner into the box saw Andrew Grant out jump all but his header went just over the bar . Half way through the half a free kick into the box was spilled by the keeper but his defence cleared for a corner before any Broxburn Attacker got near it . Locke saw a free kick from the left go narrowly past the right hand post a minute later .On 36 minutes Coldstream could have equalised when Matt Corfield headed wide of the right hand post . Broxburn doubled their lead on 40 minutes when GREG BINNIE received the ball 20 yards out and sent the ball past Turnbull into the back of the net . Corfield , a minute later again headed past the post with Wallace beaten . Broxburn went up the park with the bye kick and Scott Richards gathered the ball and went right before putting it on a plate for CONOR KELLY to shoot high into the net . With two minutes left Greg McCrudden  saw a shot saved by Wallace . in the last minute a free kick played into the Broxburn box was not defended and when the ball fell to KIERAN LEE he scored giving Wallace no chance and gave his side a life line back into the game .

At the start of the second half Coldstream started well and Craig Heugh saw a shot defended for a early corner . It was the visitors who added to the scoring on 49 minutes when Locke gathered the ball in the right hand side of the box and got to the bye line and fired across the six yard box where SCOTT RICHARDS was at the back post to score . Broxburn put the tie to bed on 62 minutes when Greg Binnie made a run into the box and the defender attempted to trip him but all though Binnie kept his feet the ball had run away and the referee gave the penalty and CONOR KELLY stepped up to score and complete his hat trick . Broxburn could have went further ahead on 71 minutes when Cameron Ross made a good run into the left hand side of the box but shot into the side netting with team mates free in the box maybe a better option . On 74 minutes Broxburn got their sixth when Richards sent JACK BEESLEY through and as Elliot Turnbull parried the original shot over his head Jack was first to the ball to force it into the net .With the game reaching the end Locke saw an effort go a begging . The last action of the game saw a corner into the hosts box where Andrew grant’s effort came off the bar . .

A good overall performance with the players coming in doing well . The strength of squad will be needed time and time again in the coming weeks and it was good to see them step up to the mark .

At the other end good play between Donaldson and McCaughie finished with the later shooting over from 20 yards out . David McCaughie shot wide right from the edge of the box on nine minutes .

Cameron Ross four minutes later saw a great shot tipped over the bar by Darren Dolan in the visitors goals . Steven Dolan had a chance in the last ten minutes of the half when a good ball into the box was sent wide right of the target .

From the kick off Nicholas Locke was sent through but his effort went over the bar . A corner in to the Sauchie box on 56 minutes saw a John Grant header  tipped over the bar . A hour gone and a ball ricochet in the box  before Craig Donaldson fired well over the bar . Half way through the second half Nicholas Locke and Alexander Miller created an opening that was saved really well by Dolan . Ten minutes remaining and with the scoreline coming in from other games it was important to get a winner . Cameron Ross shot just wide left of target . Four minutes later an effort from Locke was saved as Dolan kept his side in the game turning the ball behind for a corner at full stretch . The corner in was knocked out but only as far as JOHN GRANT on the left hand side of the box and he steered the ball into the far top right hand corner to the delight of his team mates . Scott Richards and Greg Binnie attempted to increase their sides lead but to no avail . A hard three points from an improving side so happy with the reward . .

On a day more suited to water polo it was Dunbar who got the ball into the box in the first minute but the Broxburn defence cleared the danger  . Broxburn took the lead on 9 minutes when Nick Locke went on a run and was brought down outside the box . NICHOLAS LOCKE stepped up to curl a free kick into the top far right hand corner giving Daniel Laing no chance . On 11 and 13 minutes Ross and Miller had good chances for the home side .

Kelly himself saw a turn and shot deflected for a corner on 29 minutes . The home side regained the lead on 34 minutes when Locke past wide right to Kelly who’s ball to the back post was headed back across the goals by Miller and NICHOLAS LOCKE who had continued to run was there to fire his side in front . Cameron Ross created a chance a minute later but the effort went wide right of the target . With 3 minutes of the half remaining Michael McFarlane should have done better when a free kick into the box was met by his head but he steered the ball wide right of the target unchallenged And in the final action of the half Fraser McLaren shot came off the bar before being cleared .

The second half started under a torent of rain and it was Ross on 51 minutes who created a good opening but shot wide right from the left hand side of the box . Kelly provided Miller with a great ball but the striker’s header was well saved by Laing . Dunbar equalised on 59 minutes when DEAN BALLANTYNE shot from the left hand side and it took a slight deflection to divert into the back of the net .  Broxburn regained the lead 5 minutes later when a great move finished by a one two from Kelly and CAMERON ROSS who finished well . In a ding dong battle the visitors were level again on 75 minutes when Lloyd Fiddler got into the box and his effort was turned in at the near post by STEVEN TAIT  .  Ross on 82 minutes shot into the side net . Donaldson saw an effort saved on 84 minutes as the hosts pressed for the winner . With three minutes remaining Donaldson saw an effort come off the post . A minute later Greg Binnie brought out the best in Daniel Laing who full stretched turned the ball behind for a corner . The corner came in and GORDON DONALDSON prodded the ball into the empty net and went to celebrate with his friends in the crowd . A good game under trying conditions and both sets of players deserved credit for the way they played the game . A vital three points for the BUrn in our quest to keep the pressure on the leader . .

Broxburn looked in the mood from the start and after two minutes it was Locke who made a good run down the left but his ball into the box was behind his attacking team mates . On five minutes Daryl Devlin saw an effort saved by Wallace . Locke again put a good ball in on 12 minutes from the right and the defence cleared just before Nico Gibson was about to head home . Craig Scott should have done better on 20 minutes when Locke set him up with a cut back but the midfielder’s shot was weak at the keeper . A minute later Whitehill attacked down the left and a cross into the box came of the bar before  Grant Gavin turned it behind for a corner . The corner swung in from the left into the middle of the box and GARY HAMILTON fired home from eight yards . Ross made a good run and shot on 24 minutes which was deflected for a corner . A minute later Locke put the ball out left to Gibson  but his shot went wide left . Broxburn were pressing for the equaliser and Locke again cut the ball across for Ross but his shot went wide left . Just after the half hour mark A corner in was met by the head of Grant Gavin but he was disappointed to see it go over the bar .Controversy on 37 minutes when the home defence were all over the place and good play by the visitors saw a cross ball cut out by Youssef Bejaoui with his hands but both officials failed to see the offence outside the box .

Nick Locke forced a good save in the first minute of the half . The visitors got on level terms a minute later  when NICHOLAS LOCKE went on a run down the left before shooting under the advancing keeper . Ross couldn’t capitalised on a good ball in from Locke on 55 minutes . Scott Richards put Conor Kelly through on 63 minutes but the strikers effort went over the bar . Whitehill spurned a chance on 65 minutes when Sommerville put a good ball on to the head of Scott Wright but the header went wide of the target . Greg Binnie saw a good ball in cleared from the danger area on 74 minutes with Whithill seeing a Ross Connell effort deflected for a corner at the other end two minutes later . Craig Scott saw a 30 yard free kick rocket of the post with a minute remaining .Broxburn almost shipped all three points when Grant Gavin was short with a pass back to Wallace but the big keeper managed to get there and steal the ball off Anthony Muir as he was about to strike .

A disappointing point with the chances created but could have gone the other way also so we move on .

St Mirren booked their place in the Fifth Round of the William Hill Scottish Cup with a deserved 3-0 win over Broxburn Athletic.

After a goalless first-half, Jon Obika opened the scoring in 54 minutes to finally make the breakthrough.

Two goals in the closing minutes from Danny Mullen and Obika put the seal on the win as Saints saw off the stubborn East of Scotland League side.

It took until the final few moments to wrap up the match, but it could have been a more comfortable afternoon had the Buddies opened the scoring with a chance inside the first 60 seconds. Calum Waters low ball across the box was laid on a plate for Obika who didn’t catch the shot well enough and clipped over the bar.

The Buddies asserted themselves in the opening stages and had the vast majority of possession and territory. Junior Morias curled into the arms of Broxburn goalkeeper Connor Wallace with eight minutes played, while Ilkay Durmus dragged an effort wide on 15 minutes.

Obika sent a tame effort into the arms of Wallace on 22 minutes after a neat exchange with Morias and really should have had Saints ahead three minutes later. Morias charged down the left-hand side and slide the ball across the area where both Obika and Durmus were waiting. The former got a toe onto the ball but it somehow creeped centimetres wide of the post. The English forward then headed past the same post just after the half-hour mark.

For all the dominance Saints were failing to make Broxburn goalkeeper Wallace work, but that would change after the interval with the goalkeeper making a good stop to deny captain Kyle Magennis on 50 minutes.

Durmus should have had St Mirren ahead two minutes later but somehow smashed wide from eight yards.

Thankfully, the wait for the breakthrough only lasted another two minutes with Obika opening the scoring on 54 minutes. It was a scrappy goal for Broxburn to lose with a low Waters effort coming off an unfortunate Broxburn defender and ricocheting off Obika into the net.

The Buddies fitness told after that and only heroics from Wallace kept the scoreline down. The goalkeeper made terrific saves to deny Morias twice, while he did well to push away a Mullen volley. Arguably the pick of the bunch came when he denied Jamie McGrath a debut goal on 79 minutes. The Irishman curled towards the far corner from the edge of the area with Wallace at full stretch to tip the ball round the post.

Wallace would make further saves in the final 10 minutes to stop Obika and Morias attempts, but Saints finally added a second to secure their place in tomorrow’s Fifth Round draw with Mullen curling home from 20 yards.

Mullen then turned provider a minute later when he slammed the ball across the ball to meet the chest of Obika to put the icing on the cake for the Buddies.
