    Well that's that,  the season is over.   
    Some players never turned up :- John McCulloch (a new baby) and Callum Scott (total mystery) 
    Some players came, they saw, they didn't conquer and they left:- Gray, El-Zubadai, Sweeney, McMullen, Shirra 1 & Shirra 2, Rintoul and Watt
    One player I wish had stayed a lot longer was young Tiwi Daramola..........he could have been the next Nicky Walker !!
    We had 2 brief cameo appearances :-Rhino in goals for 15 minutes v West Calder and  the old Nicky Walker as a sub in the EoS League Cup final. 
    Probably more comings and goings than you would ideally want but on the whole we have had a fairly consistent squad this season.    
    Kegs as manager had a record of 18 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats.  That win to games played ratio would see a team finish well up the table but it was some poor results  that created the murmurings of dissatisfaction on the terraces and in hindsight the 5-0 defeat at Tranent was a painful blessing in disguise.       Max Christie then came in and steadied the ship.   Several sources at the club commented on the hard training sessions they had to endure when Max arrived and the improved fitness and organisation has shown on the pitch with some good performances and results.   Winning the League Cup and finishing 2nd in Conference B are just rewards for a job well done by the BU's.
    Several of our players have already signed up for next season and hopefully a few more will decide to stay but inevitably some players will call it a day at Bo'ness (Wright, Hunter and  Snowdon perhaps) and some may head to clubs closer to home (MacDonald, Prentice and MacKenzie perhaps).       
    Rumours abound that Max has targeted a number of new players for next season and hopefully he can deliver the players to push for more honours next season when the league will be a lot tougher for all concerned.
    Mon the BU's !!!
     
     
    Max, Haynesy and Blackie have done a great job and fair play to them. Took a talented squad and made them better. Haynesy is my big mate so I am biased but simple but effect changes have made you into a cracking side which has finished the season well. Finishing 2nd in the toughest conference and a cup win is a cracking season. Looking forward to locking horns again home and away with Tranent next season[emoji106][emoji460]️

    Tough game for Tranent today. Nitten were the better team first half. Great save by Sinky from a penalty followed by another couple of top saves. 2nd half Tranent we’re better although hung on a bit towards the end.

    Poor performance but a good result in the end. Expecting a tough game from crossgates on Friday. Great chance to get to the final.
    Totally agree. No where near our best today. The 20mins in 2nd half when we are at it and moved the ball quickly and went 2-0 up was brilliant. Fair play to Nitten down to 10 men they scored right away and made it nervous. Ultimately it's about getting through in cup ties and the team spirit and wee bit quality at the right times got us through. Going to be a big game on Friday and I cannot wait. Hope we get a good crowd to help us get to the final [emoji106][emoji460]️
