(Kennedy 85)

Berwick Rangers 1
(McCrystal 22)

Following the loss to Caledonian Braves on Saturday Bo’ness United dropped further home points, this time drawing with Berwick Rangers. Bo’ness missed good early chances, both Smart Osadolor and Tom Grant missing the target while BU keeper Cade Melrose saved from Jamie Watson.

Although Bo’ness were enjoying most of the possession it was the visitors who took the lead, Ben McCrystal making room for himself before shooting low into the net from just inside the box. Ryan Stevenson almost made an immediate reply but his shot crashed off the Berwick crossbar.

Unable to respond Bo’ness made changes at the break but it was Berwick who started the better knocking the ball around. Jamie Watson shot just wide of the Bo’ness goal but at the other end Ryan Stevenson was unlucky as his free kick shot hit the post. This seemed to spur Bo’ness into action as they pushed forward looking for the equaliser. Smart Osadolor headed narrowly wide with a Louis Kennedy shot just clearing the bar.

With five minutes remaining Bo’ness were finally rewarded, a defensive header landing nicely for Louis Kennedy to drill the ball home from fifteen yards. The final minutes saw Bo’ness lay siege to the Berwick goal but unable to find the target had to be content with a share of the points.

Bo'ness: Melrose, Hawkins (Masson 67), Macaulay, Duffy (Johnston 46), Travis, Irving, Stevenson, Porteous (Mitchell 46) Osadolor, Grant, Kennedy. Subs (Not Used): Henderson, Gemmell. SG: Ritchie.
