Broxburn started very well and early on Cameron Ross showed he was in the mood when getting to the byeline and forcing an early corner . Fraser McLaren made a good run down the right for the hosts but his excellent ball into the danger area found no takers on nine minutes . Liam Peden made a good run into the box that Connor Wallace  saved well before John Grant cleared the danger . On 29 minutes Scott Richards sent in a free kick that caused mayhem in the box before the home defence cleared off the line . The opening goal did come after 31 minutes when ALEXANDER MILLER  got into the box before being brought down and the on form striker made no mistake from the spot . Within three minutes both Richards and Ross saw shots blocked and cleared as Broxburn turned the screw . Miller saw an attempt deflected for a corner on 39 minutes . Cameron Ross , two minutes later , saw a shot well saved from point blank by Daniel Laing in the hosts goal . The first half was running down and Ross saw a shot go just over the bar from a corner . Dunbar could have equalised when a corner into the box was cleared off the line by Donaldson . The last opportunity of the half fell to Scott Richards who was set up by Ross but the big keeper pulled off another save to keep his side in the game .

Early in the second half a ball into the box was cleared off Miller’s head by the defence as the striker was about to steer the ball home . Lloyd Fiddler tried an effort from 30 yards out but went harmlessly over the bar . With 51 minutes on the clock a Richards throw in found Ross who saw an other fine save at the expense of a corner . From the corner GORDON DONALDSON headed the ball past a crowded six yard box into the net .  A Richards free kick into the box was met by Grant Gavin but once more the keeper showed his worth to the home side . This was the procedure for the second half with Ross and Miller finding it difficult to get past Laing . The home side got back into the game on 76 minutes when a ball into the box was bundled over by STEVEN TAIT . . Unfortunately for the goal scorer that was his last contribution to the game when three minutes later he received a second yellow card for a rash tackle on Richards three minutes later  .The game was bit one sided with Laing continuing to defy the Broxburn Strikers . Dunbar could have sent the game into extra time in the last minute when a ball into the box found the visitors defence posted missing and Fraser McLaren had a free header four yards out that he will be disappointed about as it went past the right hand post .

The visitors got off to the best possible start when Conor Kelly was brought down in the box and CRAIG SCOTT stepped up and scored from the resultant spot kick  on three minutes . Cameron Ross made a good run through but Mitchell in the hosts goal smothered the ball . On fourteen minutes Calum McDowall got into the box but Conor Wallace saved at his near post . The corner came in and chaos ensued in the box but nobody from Blackburn could get the final touch to send the ball goalward and the danger was eventually cleared all though offside had been given . Blackburn were forced to change keepers when Darren Mitchell had to go off injured and Johnathan Clements took over in the sticks on 16 minutes . Two minutes later he watched a Conor Kelly shot go past his right hand side from the strikers right hand side of the park . A good ball into the box from a Beesley corner saw the hosts scramble it clear . Good play half way through the half when Ross sent in Binnie who in turn laid the ball back to Kelly who shot over the bar . Two minutes later Jack Beesley sent in a dangerous free kick from left to right but the ball whizzed through the box with no takers . On 27 minutes a good piece of play so a good ball out to McDowell on the right but his ball was just too strong and it went harmlessly out for a bye kick . At the other  end a minute later Binnie cut a ball back from the bye line to Ross Nimmo who laid it off to Cammie ross who’s shot was blocked . Richard Hutton should have done better when through one on one with Connor Wallace with Connor coming out best to save from the Blackburn forward . A corner for the visitors on 36 minutes found Greg Binnie who shot over the bar . Cameron Ross got the ball into the box with five minutes remaining of the half but the keeper punched clear . Blackburn had the final shot of the half when John Drummond shot wide right of Wallace’s post .

The visitors doubled their lead on 55 minutes when ROSS NIMMO pounced on a poor ball out to run in and fire past Clements in the host’s goal . The referee had only due noted the goal when another mistake at the back saw GREG BINNIE gather the ball before running through on goal and firing into the top left hand corner giving Clements no chance . On seventeen minutes Linton set up Locke but the captain couldn’t get any power in his shot and Clements saved comfortably . Blackburn got a lifeline on 71 minutes when a Craig Young free kick in from the left sailed over everybody to find STUART MacLEOD at the back post to score the easiest of chance’s . Nicholas Locke saw a shot go wide right of the target . With seven minutes remaining Blackburn turned the pressure up on the visitors who were comfortably in front .A ball in from the right found unmarked RICHARD HUTTON who powered a header home to make it a nervous finish for the visitors .Cameron ross had the final chance of the game with 4 minutes remaining but shot past the right hand post from the left hand side of the box .

In perfect conditions for football Camelon kicked off and after three minutes had the ball in the box but Gordon Donaldson headed clear .Three minutes later Cameron Ross got down the left before sending a good ball across the box but the defence cleared  the danger .The closest to a goal came after 20 minutes when Nicholas Locke fired in a shot from 25 yards but saw it crash off the cross bar and break to Beesley who’s pass into the box was met by Scott who’s effort was saved .Half way through the half a good run down the left by Miller finished with a good ball across the six yard box where Beesley cut it back again but this time Brian Kinnear cut it out and gathered . Ryan Kane had an effort blocked and cleared for the hosts on 36 minutes .Two minutes later Ryan Lochie put a good ball into the box and Allan Docherty flashed his header wide left of the target . Nicholas Locke fired a shot just wide right of the goal on 42 minutes .

The second half exploded into life a minute in when Camelon carved open the entire visiting side right down the middle before JORDAN HERRON fired home when clear in the box under the advancing Wallace .  Docherty hade a good effort go just wide on 55 minutes when coming in from the left shooting wide right . On the hour mark Craig Scott fired wide left from the right hand side . Three minutes later Docherty was thwarted by Purves at the near post at the expense of a corner . Cameron Ross tried an effort from 20 yards that was saved . Connor Wallace done well to save from Alan Sneddon turning the effort past the right hand post . Herron saw his ball into the box cleared by the visiting defence . Broxburn were on level terms half way through the second half when a good one two between Miller and Beesley saw the ball into the box met by the head of NICHOLAS LOCKE and was delighted to see the ball squirm through Brian Kinnear’s hands into the net . Level terms did not last long when a minute later a ball into the edge of the six yard box saw a melee of touches before DAVID MORRISON poked the ball home .  Jack Beesley shot wide two minutes later as the visitors tried to get back on level terms . With fourteen minutes remaining Cameron Ross set up Craig Scott who’s rocket stung the keeper’s fingers as he tipped it over the bar .  A minute later Ross again was the provider this time Miller headed over the bar . Broxburn were really pressing now and Donaldson set up Ross out on the left but his shot was saved . The pressure paid off on 83 when they were awarded a free kick just inside the Camelon half Michael Linton slid the ball to the unmarked CRAIG SCOTT forty yards out who looked up and fired a rocket into the roof of the net  . In the dying embers of the game both sides had chances . Donaldson saw a shot turned for a corner .The corner came in and Miller headed just over the bar with the keeper beaten . At the other end Sneddon headed just wide right and in injury time Tiwi Daramola fired in a shot that Connor Wallace done well to parrie clear . That was the end of the chances and probably on reflection a fair scoreline and result , all though both sides may have a claim for the three points . We now regroup and get prepared for our William Hill Scottish cup match at home to Tynecastle next Saturday with a 3-00pm kick off .
