It proved another miserable day for the BU faithful as once gain their favourites served up a disappointing display to lose their fourth league match in a row. From the beginning it was Cumbernauld who looked the hungrier side as they fought for the points to keep them in the Lowland League and the Colts now have given themselves the chance to stay up next season.

Callum Wilson put the visitors ahead after quarter of an hour and ten minutes later BU keeper Liam Campbell and Cole McIntyre collided in the box both going down injured, and after a lengthy delay the referee decided Campbell was at fault awarding a penalty that Wilson converted. Ten minutes from the break Euan Ross took advantage of a mix up in the Bo’ness defence to make it three for the visitors.

Bo’ness made full use of the bench for the start of the second half and might have got an early goal to make life uncomfortable for the visitors but unable to make the breakthrough Cumbernauld once again looked comfortable. With six minutes remaining Bo’ness did get a goal as Keir Foster weaved through the Cumbernauld defence before angling a low shot into the bottom corner of the net but it was too little too late for the BUs. Bo’ness now go to East Kilbride for the final game of the season and can hopefully sign off on a positive note.

Bo’ness: 1 Liam Campbell, 2 Billy Hutchison, 3 Keir Macaulay, 4 Adam Masson,
5 Lewis Hawkins (Duffy 46), 6 Dan Irving (Foster 46), 7 Lucas Stenhouse,
8 Kyle Johnston (Capt) (Grant 46), 9 Ryan Schiavone, 10 Ryan Stevenson (Dowling 46),
11 Kieran Mitchell (Kennedy 46)

Subs: 12 Smart Osadolor (Not Used), 14 Max Dowling, 15 Keir Foster, 16 Tom Grant,
17 Louis Kennedy, 18 Lennon Connelly (Not Used), 19 Lewis Duffy
