Date – Tuesday 30 September 2025
Competition – Park’s Motor Group Lowland League

Bo’ness United 1
(Mitchell 39)
Bonnyrigg Rose 1
(Devine 12)

Bo’ness United completed September with a determined performance to win a point from visitors Bonnyrigg Rose. The BU Faithful, still disappointed at Saturday’s Scottish Cup exit against Banks o’ Dee coming on the back of a fruitless month were heartened to see their favourites roll up their sleeves going toe to toe against a team they have struggled against in the past.

Bonnyrigg struck early through Laurie Devine and although Bo’ness had created a number of chances their stand in goalkeeper made a couple of great saves to keep the score down. Six minutes before the break the BU keeper’s work proved worthwhile as Bo’ness equalised, Kieran Mitchell receiving a through pass from Adam Masson before rounding Bonnyrigg keeper Ross Connelly to slot into the empty net.

The first half had been played at a quick pace and the second proved no different as both teams strived to get a winner. It could have been Bo’ness who continued to create opportunities though it was Bonnyrigg who had the ball in the net only to be thwarted by an offside decision. In the end a draw was probably a fair result and it was good to see a return of the fighting qualities Bo’ness had demonstrated earlier in the season.
