 + Match Report (By John Spowart)

Bo地ess United had to be happy with a share of the points in their first home League match of the season against Dundonald Bluebell.

Martin Graham looked offside as he pounced onto Paul McQuade痴 through ball but the whistle didn稚 come and the early shot beat Robert Burns to give the visitors the lead. Bo地ess looked a bit shell shocked for a while but they worked themselves back into the game and Paul Burns came closest to equalising with a shot that pulled just wide of the target.

Dundonald were full of energy giving the BU defence plenty to think about and Scott Lawrie was unlucky to see his shot crash off the bar before they doubled their lead in 38 minutes when Paul McQuade weaved his way through before chipping over Robert Burns.

Bo地ess made changes for the start of the second half and were soon pushing forward with Stephen Payne and David Morrison seeing good chances go a begging. The game went through a ragged spell as Dundonald struggled to keep the ball but Bo地ess failed to make the most of the opportunities presented to them. However the BUs stuck to the task and finally got a goal back in 76 minutes when Scott Brown received a pass from Kevin Donnelly before angling a shot past Dundonald keeper Ryan Connor.  Three minutes later it was all square and the same players combined this time Scott Brown smashing Kevin Donnelly痴 pass into the net from close in.

Dundonald showed some character and were soon back in front when a deflected cross landed nicely for Gary Westwater who slotted into the net from a few yards out. The visitors must have thought they had done enough to win the game but this time it was Bo地ess who showed their mettle and Scott Mauchline found space in a busy six yard box to shoot into the net.

A draw was probably a fair result though Bo地ess will be concerned with a disappointing first half performance though they bounced back in the second with a determined never say die display
