Are Scone just holding out until Camelon are forced to withdraw? Or did Camelon players/coaches have something to say about 2 games in 24 hours? I'm starting to think the result of this one will be w/o -
Wait all game for a red card and two come along at once! The sent off guy very politely asked the ref if he could see that card again just as he was stomping off. The ref being a good sport happily obliged.

She definitely takes credit for at least one of them!

Haha. You never know, though! 1-1 against a back 4 is easier to break down than 2-1 behind and a parked bus! But I'd like to think Broxburn would still at least nudge back in front!!

That's 3 times in recent years I've seen South sides against East/LL sides and every time it's been a big score that could have been bigger. Think Nithsdale dug in and kept going as much as they could, but at all times Broxburn had another gear. Like you, I hope today was a good wee experience for them and hopefully they can figure a way to close the gap a bit whilst enjoying the rest of their season.

At 1-1, Nithsdale Wanderers hit the post! If that had gone in and they had a lead to dig in and defend, it might have been a tougher afternoon for Broxburn. It stayed out and instead Broxburn kicked on could have had more than the 10 scored by the end. Nithsdale, when they had a bit of time could knock it around a little bit going forward and actually got a few good shots away. But it was lost at the other end... keeper made a few good saves and the back 4 defended as well as they could, but Broxburn players were bigger, fitter, quicker and had just that bit more quality that you could always see goals coming.

A pretty comfortable day for Broxburn today down in Sanquhar... eventually! At 1-1 we gave the ball away and Nithsdale hit the post. If that went in, would have been interesting to see how they defended the lead. As it was, Broxburn got a couple of relatively fortunate goals and once there was a clear lead, it was only going to end one way. 5-1 at half time and same again 2nd half to end 10-2. The only negative was conceding a couple of bad goals again and arguably could have scored more, but were a bit wasteful with chances, especially 2nd half. But loads of positives. No injuries, some really well taken goals and with the game decided early getting all the subs on early for a decent run out.

Heading down to sunny Sanquhar on Saturday for Broxburn’s clash with Nithsdale Wanderers. Planning to make a bit of a day of it with a pre-match trip to Crawick Multiverse, but wanting to know from the locals... anywhere decent for lunch that's near the ground? Or are there decent selection of food options at the ground? Cheers in advance!

Got along to the Sauchie v Dunipace match last night. I was expecting a bit of a fierce local derby with a bit of needle, some crunching tackles, the benches having a go at each other and the crowd being all over every decision. But I think years of Dunipace being in the West leagues means there is no rivalry... so for a derby under the lights it was rather tepid! The game itself was decent. But other than a little 10/15 minute spell in each half where Dunipace looked good, Sauchie were well on top and 3-0 was probably just about a fair reflection of the play. -
As far as I know both sides get the cash... but ready to be told otherwise by anyone that knows better. Of which there are many...

Super surprised at the choice of game... but delighted Broxburn get a chance to be on TV. Hopefully it's a good turnout for it too. Might have to get my mum to "tape" it and get myself a haircut to look better in any crowd shots!

Slightly surprised we are the chosen match... but a pleasant surprise. Hopefully Dalkeith get a decent number on the gate and Brox get a nice wee boost from tv money.

The wife appreciated that they opened their refreshments kiosk....
