A single first half goal was enough to give Bo’ness United victory in their final League Cup sectional match.
It came along after 34 minutes when Ian Nimmo was pushed down in the Bathgate box, and Graeme McLaren converted from the spot. At that time Bo’ness were looking the better side and although Bathgate saw more of the ball in the second half, the BUs deserved their win.
Bo’ness started the game well, getting shots in on the Bathgate goal. Bathgate got forward but the BU defence was well marshalled by Stuart Hunter, blunting any threat posed by the Bathgate strike force.
When the Bo’ness goal came along it was a good run and cross from Chris Donnelly that brought Gary McCulloch’s push on Ian Nimmo.
Bathgate did get up the park more in the second half but in 59 minutes it took a goal line clearance to stop Scott Gibb putting Bo’ness two goals ahead. The home side kept going, trying desperately to get back at Bo’ness but they drew a blank and Bo’ness finished the section runners up behind Sauchie who now go forward to the semi final..
