Jambo'ness Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I've been compiling a Bo'ness United archive for some time and hope to have it online soon. However, there are missing scores through their history and I'm looking for help from anyone that can supply any of the following for the matches listed: results, teams, scorers & date would all be gratefully received.

Jambo'ness Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Great stuff John. The Journal is always poor at the end of a season, when there's 3 games a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was missing a result for New Blackburn Athletic against Bo'ness, but its against other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevesnape Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 OP why don't you contact Ryan Kelly at Nitten Star, he has a lot of stats I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 This is a magic idea [mention]Jambo’ness[/mention] Is it something you’re doing just out of your own interest or do you plan to have it published or online or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started out just out of interest but as the club will be 75 years old in 2020, the time was right to get the history down. Not being done for personal gain. Full stats, including dates, matches, Bo'ness Scorers and team will be available online in the coming months. Also a full as can be list of players who have worn the jersey in a competitive game. I will be looking for more info over the weeks ahead, particularly regarding player forenames and which club we signed from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Looking for a couple of cup results now. First is from 68/9, an R L Rae Cup, round 3, 2nd replay on 21/5/69 against Linlithgow. All I know is Bo'ness won as they appeared in the Final that year. Second one is a Brown Cup 2nd round replay on against Haddington, scheduled date 8/1/77. Again, Bo'ness won as they reached the semis that year. Grateful for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be available on the Club's Official website. I've gleaned everything possible from the local paper, from 1945 to 1969 and now working on match line-ups after that. Given myself extra work as I'd already got scores and scorers up to date but hadn't originally bothered with line-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo'ness Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Looking for some info from the early 70's now. 70/71 and it's player info. Forenames are required for the following players: McGlynn & Sullivan. The latter also played the following season. Any info on previous and future clubs would be great too.
