Man of Match Will Snowdon
 + Match Report (By John Spowart)

Bo地ess United won all the points at Armadale though it took a final minute goal by Will Snowdon to keep the BU's on the winning trail.

The game started well enough for Bo地ess who went ahead after only five minutes with David Morrison getting onto the end of a Paul Mortimer cross to head down and away from Dale keeper David McIntosh.

Bo地ess created chances to extend their lead but McIntosh was doing a good job in the Armadale goal and his team benefited as they drew level after 24 minutes. A Jamie Valentine free kick was hit back across the goal by Nicky Brookfield to Graeme Crawford who slotted in at the back post.

The goal seemed to unsettle Bo地ess who struggled to play the good football produced in the early part of the game and though chances were created at both ends there were no more goals before half time.   

The second half saw both teams struggle with a pitch that was cutting up badly though Bo地ess did enjoy the lion痴 share of the ball. However they struggled to make an impact in front of the Armadale goal with the home side looking happy to play on the break.

As the clock ticked down the game looked to be heading for a draw but in 89 minutes the BU's conjured up a winner. Kevin Mullen curled in a free kick from the right and Will Snowdon got up to head into the net much to the delight of players and supporters alike.

Victory sees Bo地ess keep up the pressure on Forfar West End at the top of the Premier League and though the display was disappointing the points are a welcome end to the year
