 + Match Report (By John Spowart)

Bo地ess United narrowly lost out to Bathgate Thistle at Creamery Park in a result that sees the BUs with a lot to do to save their Super League status.

The first fifteen minutes were pretty even but Bo地ess started to push Bathgate back though they could not find the killer touch in front of goal to put the ball in the net. They were left to regret the missed chances as Bathgate took the lead in 38 minutes. Jon Connelly made a good save from an Eddie Annand shot but as Tony Smith swung over the corner the big keeper dropped the ball and Jon Tully scored from close in. There might have been a push on the BU keeper but the goal was awarded.

The Bo地ess heads did not go down and they pushed forward looking for an equaliser but again possession could not be converted to goals. Scott Brown had a good effort on goal but Alan Neill痴 legs got on the way the ball being deflected past the post.

In the second half Bo地ess worked hard as they tried hard to get back into the game but despite a lot of effort they could not get the vital goal and in the end they left Creamery Park empty handed.

It was another defeat but the team rolled up their sleeves with plenty of effort on show. Hopefully over the next few weeks the effort will be rewarded and Bo地ess can get a few more points on the board.
