Chris Brown picked an opportune time to score his first goal for Bo’ness with an injury time header that gave the BU's a narrow victory against Dundee East Craigie.

The Dundee side made a great start to this East of Scotland Cup tie, going two goals up inside the first ten minutes, both strikes coming from Danny Low. The speedy left sided player caught out the Bo’ness defence in 6 minutes, latching on to a cross ball to shoot past Aaron Stalker from close in. Two minutes later an almost identical move finished with the same outcome and the BU's were up against it.

Bo’ness recovered from the early setback and pulled a goal back in 23 minutes when a Stephen Payne low drive from wide on the right deceived East Craigie keeper Ryan Mitchell who let the ball slip past his feet into the net.

The second half saw Bo’ness press forward looking for an equaliser and in 60 minutes it came with some style as Stephen Payne curled a great free kick shot into the top corner of the net. East Craigie still looked dangerous when they got forward and it proved to be when Lindsay Davidson regained the lead for his side with sixteen minutes remaining on the clock. Aaron Stalker saved at the feet of Dale Robertson but the ball broke to Davidson who lashed the ball into the net despite Will Snowdon’s efforts to keep it out. Play was held up as Robertson, injured in the clash with the Bo’ness goalkeeper was carried off and the East Craigie player had to be taken to hospital in an ambulance.

Bo’ness battled back and on 90 minutes Scott Brown headed in on the line after Will Snowdon diverted a corner into the danger area. Lindsay Davidson got through the BU defence but Aaron Stalker did well to block away the effort and as it was four minutes into the time added on it was Bo’ness who got the winner, Chris Brown diverting a Stephen Payne header past Ryan Mitchell.

Bo’ness were far from convincing but they kept going to ensure a continued interest in the top East Region trophy.
