Bo’ness made a disappointing start to the season going down to Camelon Juniors in the first game of the League Cup section.

There were a couple of new faces in the line up with Friday signings Ryan McCafferty and Paul Tweedie. However it was the home side who made all the early running and keeper Robert Burns marked his first game of the season with a series of good saves that kept Bo’ness in the contest.

However he was finally beaten in 31 minutes when Shirra slipped a pass through to Lister who slotted the ball past Burns at the near post. Burns was again active and was again proving a difficult obstacle for the Camelon forwards who were unable to take advantage of their superior possession.

Bo’ness did better in the second half but to be honest they never looked like causing an upset though the work rate did not falter. As the game drew to a close both teams were looking tired and in the end Camelon were happy to hear the final whistle but they will be concerned they were not able to put the game beyond Bo’ness much earlier in the match.
