Gala Fairydean Rovers 0

Bo’ness United enjoyed a comprehensive victory against Gala Fairydean Rovers with a performance that thrilled the BU Faithful there to witness possibly the best display of the season.

Bo’ness started with a bang getting in three shots in the first two minutes and the continued onslaught produced three goals before the visitors were able to catch a breath. After five minutes the BUs were ahead, Freddie Rowe releasing Jack Hodge who cut in from the left before sliding a great low shot past Rovers keeper Shea Dowie, his first goal for the club. Ten minutes later Kieran Mitchell connected with a Shaun Brown cross to volley in, Mitch now having now having found the net in seven consecutive games. Jamie Watson made it three in twenty getting on the end of a Jack Hodge cross to flash in a great near post header.

Gala were struggling to cope prompting their manager to make four substitutions after half an hour though the changes bore little fruit through the rest of the half. At the resumption Gala enjoyed some good pressure and it was the turn of the Bo’ness defence to shine as they dealt with anything that was thrown at them. Fifteen minutes in and Bo’ness were up the park again and from a Roan Fitzpatrick corner Kyle Johnston saw his header blocked before following up to smash the ball into the net to score on his one hundred and fiftieth appearance for the club.

Bo’ness saw the rest of the game out and the players can be satisfied with their work though are well aware a tough test awaits as the BUs visit Bonnyrigg Rose next week.
