 + Match Report (By John Spowart)

Bo’ness now need a miracle to maintain their place in the top League after a disappointing draw at Camelon.

As the game moved into injury time, Bo’ness were a goal ahead but a dubious penalty decision saw Camelon draw level. Kevin Mullen put the BU's ahead just after half time but it was Mullen’s tackle on ex BU coach Willie Irvine that brought the controversial decision. Irvine went down easily in the box and Graham McLaren converted from the spot to earn Camelon a priceless point.

Bo’ness had missed a great chance to go ahead as early as the 8th minute but Camelon trialist keeper Steve McGlyn made a great save from Kevin Donnelly’s penalty kick. After this, Camelon created and missed a number of good chances though after Bo’ness’s early second half lead it was the BUs turn to miss out on opportunities to put the game beyond Camelon.

Just before the end, Camelon’s Brian Bell was lucky to stay on the park after he kicked out at Scott Mauchline and then there was the late, late setback for Bo’ness. It is ironic that the man who is seen as the main reason for Bo’ness’s current predicament should be the very person who might have contrived to consign the BU's to the Premier League.
