Going to be interesting to see how Bo'ness United Juniors do this season. Major clear out and a lot of new players have come in.
Pre-season friendly results show they are banging in the goals .....but conceding a few too.
BU Juniors 6 Blackburn United 5
BU Juniors 4 Fallin 3
BU Juniors 4 Whitburn 0
Sneaked a peak at them through the gate and they were playing some good Fitbaw I reckon they could finish in the top half of the league this season.
Will be interesting Dave. A very young side. Currently a number of defenders out injured and a make shift defence, which might explain the goals conceded!!
Albeit only a friendly, they ran BU seniors close with 2 penalties the difference to secure the Lowland League side a 3-2 win.
The football being played will definitely be entertaining for the Bo’ness contingent that choose to stay at Newtown every other Saturday.

4/13 have a great junior history of one season. Another three Stoneyburn, Pumpherston and Harthill joined the Juniors in 1983, 1990 and 1992 respectively. Livingston formed 1970.
Just don’t get the vitriol...
Amateur Clubs fold... “sign of the times. Guys not interested in playing football on a Saturday anymore. All the best.”
Junior Clubs fold... “all about money. If they don’t get crowds over the line, there’s no income. We should support our local clubs as the heart of our communities.. All the best”
Junior Clubs move to East of Scotland... “great vision by the Club. Sign of intent. Hope the locals get begins them.”
Amateur Clubs move to Juniors or new Junior Club formed ... “just an amateur club. Junior leagues are finished.”
Respect for all clubs. Takes a great deal of commitment and dedication behind the scenes. If the East Juniors is eventually consumed by the EOSFL, surely these ‘new’ clubs have “cut their teeth” in a semi-professional environment to which to further themselves.

I see that BUJFC have signed ex BU Ryan Lemetti. ... and Darren Gribben has signed on for another year as a player/coach. I reckon the BU Juniors will be further up the table next season.
.........and I know "Junior Forum for this p1sh" !!!Current BU Juniors that have played with BU:
Gribben
Robb
Lemetti
Daramola
Some turnaround in the Juniors squad with new higher calibre youngsters and, admirably, 6 Bo’ness lads involved. All bodes well for BU seniors if these players continue to progress and develop.

Did they? What friendly?
Friendly v Civil Service on 30th Dec.
I think James Rintoul has also featured a couple of times too being an ex BU player.

The senior side haven’t used any of the junior sides players. The junior side had one of the senior side’s players play as a trialist for them to gain fitness. All legit and within the rules apparently, but by no means are they a 2nd side. Other than the club name and sharing Newtown Park, the teams are entirely separate entities.
Senior side have used two players from the juniors in a friendly

As Bo'ness is your club, would you expect the junior Bo'ness version to apply to join the EoSL, and be invited into its membership ?
I would think it comes down to the future of the south League in ERSJFA. If they are to apply to EOSFL, they might not be that far away from attaining a SFA licence too given the facilities?
With Boness United FC likely to go into Lowland, if the Junior version did apply to EOSFL, it would be a question if “Bo’ness United Juniors” is accepted in, or acceptable to, the EOSFL?0 -

Is the agreement with Dunipace only there for this season?
They’re playing a home match at Linlithgow Leisure Centre today, with Dunipace Ams playing Bo’ness Cadora at Westfield.

......and that was the FT score. Two good Sauchie goals. The Boness Juniors do look like they have improved.
4 Sauchie EoS players in their junior side today. BU Juniors very much improved. Good to see

I ain’t Derek but I’m told there’s been some good interest. Not unexpected given what’s on offer.

I see Bo’ness United Juniors relieved their management team of their duties this week and have released a recruitment advert site:

4-0 FT
A couple of really good goals! Good to see some of the BU faithful at the game supporting the juniors. I’m sure BU will benefit as the junior team and players develop in the years ahead. Currently 9 Bo’ness/BUCFC boys in their squad.

3-0 halftime. A gulf in class.
Seniors dominant throughout. Thought it was played in the correct spirit and beneficial for both teams. Seniors get to have players come back from injury and Juniors see where some players are. Helps for them to set a marker. They’re on a journey and I’m sure future games between the sides will become closer in the years ahead as the Juniors develop and better standard of player is introduced.
Interested to know - do the fans of the BU now see the Juniors as “part of the BU family”?

The complication in Bo'ness is that Newtown Park belongs to the people of Bo'ness and is run through a not for profit association rather than by the EoS Bo'ness United club. That meant there was nothing Bo'ness United could do to stop an amateur club called Linlithgow Thistle (that had been run to a significant extent by people from Bo'ness) from moving in and setting up shop as a Bo'ness junior club, if the SJFA accepted them into membership. Happy to be corrected on this but my understanding is that although it is being made to look from the outside like it is all one big happy Bo'ness United family, they are two separate clubs.
I understand a MOU exists between the teams. Separate committees but common aims under the one club name. I think MOU covers what happens if junior association enters the pyramid, similar to Stirling Uni model.

Ah it's a joke? Definitely missed that...
Seems a bit "hostile" when Bo'ness appear to have been quite welcoming & supportive.
I read it as referring to the Newtown Park “surrounds” as opposed to/over and above the pitch surface development

The Juniors have worked hard getting their hospitality suite at Newtown Park ready for their first home match this weekend. Well done to all the hard working committee.

Pitch up and running with the first home match for the Juniors scheduled for 5th October.

With significant travel to some away games in the Lowland, anecdotally I’m aware quite a few of the punters will be sticking closer to home.
Look forward to seeing the next game between Real BU v Atletico BU as you put it.
