Man of Match Robert Burns
 + Match Report (By John Spowart)

Bo地ess United left Newtongrange with all the points though the home side will be disappointed not to take anything from the game. Robert Burns was immense in the Bo地ess goal as he defied the young Star side, particularly in the second half when it was one way traffic for most of the time.

The game started at a brisk pace with play flowing from end to end and both sides created chances to take the early lead. Burns had already made a couple of good saves when the BUs edged ahead in 17 minutes. Andy Scott got onto the end of a Stephen Payne free kick to blast a header past Star keeper Ryan Carnie.

Four minutes alter Bo地ess doubled their lead as Scott held up the ball before slipping inside to Scott Mauchline who drove into the net despite Carnie getting a hand to the shot.

Newtongrange were stunned as they had more than matched Bo地ess shot for shot but they did get back in 38 minutes when Grant Meaney headed past Burns from a Joe Dunbar cross.

Into the second half and Newtongrange swept forward but they could not find a way past the Bo地ess defence where Robert Burns made save after save. However it was at the other end that a goal was scored when with eight minutes left Bo地ess scored against the run of play. Bo地ess broke up the park and Scott Mauchline passed inside to David Morrison who smashed in a shot via the underside of the bar.

Newtongrange did get a goal back right on the final whistle when Darren Meaney shot past Burns from a John Dunn cross.
