Bo’ness United won narrowly at Montrose but victory was the thing and the BU's maintain their stranglehold at the top of the East Region Premier League.

In another game spoiled by the wind Bo’ness huffed and puffed a bit but in the end they deserved to win the points. After missing a couple of early chances the BU's got the vital opener in 27 minutes after Scott Mauchline shot against the post but Ryan McCafferty was on hand to put away the rebound.

The rest of the game proved a frustrating affair with little in the way of good football though Bo’ness created enough chances to finish off their opponents well before the end. However it was far from one way traffic and Montrose created enough opportunities to keep the BU faithful on edge right up to the final whistle.

The BU's now only have three League games to play but there is still little room for manoeuvre with Newtongrange and Forfar still very much in the frame.
