Bo’ness United earned a hard fought point at Tranent where the BUs matched their opponents and the draw was a fair reflection on what was an open and entertaining match. Robbie McIntyre and Kieran Mitchell went close for Tranent and Bo’ness. It was developing into an open game and it was Bo’ness who went ahead just short of twenty minutes, a Kieran Mitchell pass sending Lewis Hodgkiss through to slip the ball past the advancing Kelby Mason. Cameron McKinlay brought out at great save from BU keeper Allan Fleming as Tranent looked to get back and Kelby Mason was not to be outdone, saving from Lewis Hodgkiss and Mark McLuckie in quick succession. Allan Fleming produced another great stop from Cameron McKinlay and the BUs went at the break in the lead.

Bo’ness had the strong wind in their favour in the first half and it was Tranent’s turn to have the elements in their favour. They pushed forward and with sixty minutes on the clock equalised as Robbie McIntyre got onto the end of a free kick cross to head into the Bo’ness net. Tranent’s tails were up but Bo’ness responded positively, both sides going out for a winner. Despite attempts on goal at either end the keepers were determined not to concede again and as the game neared the end it was the BU Faithful who were to be heard, the Tranent support subdued as their team looked unlikely to get the three points to maximise their chances of a Title win.

This was a determined display from the BUs and with three games left, hope to increase their points tall while finishing as high in the table as possible.
