 + Match Report (By John Spowart)

 

Bo地ess United played a welcome match against struggling West side Kilsyth Rangers. Rangers are rooted to the bottom of the West Region Premier League and are already preparing for next season in the lower league with new manager Mattie Coulter ringing the changes with players having moved on with a new batch starting to come in.

Bo地ess started well going ahead in five minutes when Kevin Donnelly played in Stephen Payne and his low cross was met by David Thornton whose first shot was blocked but rebounded into the net. The trialist Bo地ess keeper got in a good save and in 22 minutes the BUs made it two when David Morrison was put through by Scott Brown taking the ball round the keeper before slotting home.

Kilsyth had a great chance to score in 29 minutes when they won a penalty but the Bo地ess keeper got down to save and the BUs maintained their two goal lead. Baird got in an early second half shot for the visitors but it was Bo地ess who scored again in 55 minutes with David Thornton shooting in from close in after Paul Tweedie nodded into his path.  Four minutes later Paul Tweedie turned scorer with a great shot on the turn from the edge of the box and almost right away Scott Brown rocketed in goal number five from outside the box.

 In 63 minutes Paul Tweedie made it six as he got onto a good cross from Scott Brown though a minute later Kilsyth managed to pull one back when Paddy Donnelly finished off a good move to score from close in.

There was nothing at stake but with vital games ahead Bo地ess needed the match practice and can be pleased with a decent display with most of the squad given a run out on the night.
