Bo'ness history - Day by day


Recommended Posts

May 26th

On to 1998 now and a Brown Cup semi-final at Whitburn.  The 'burn finished League champions, so Bo'ness were not expected to win.  They upset the odds though by recording a 2-1 victory.  Jimmy Burns & Eddie Hallford scored the goals

The team was: N Binnie, Yates, Inglis, Hoggan, Cullie, Todd, Scott, Hallford, Burns, McKinlay, Bryce

Second day of the teaser.  I can tell you one guess is within 10 of the correct answer! 
Everyone eligible to guess again today.
Remember the steak and haggis at Tranent! [emoji6]


I’d rather walk down the High Street to Greggs and buy their mass-produced tat than give Tranent any more than gate money!

111?!

To put you out of your misery, boheesian was very close and is our winner.  The actual figure being 156.  A fair number have gone by the wayside, including two we have played in Junior Cup Finals, Shawfield & Baillieston.

2007 and whilst relegation was confirmed that night, here was a chance to win silverware.  In this case the St Michaels Cup, which was contested at our opponents ground in Bathgate, though home advantage did not work out.  The BU's were convincing winners by 4-1 with goals from a Scott Mauchline penalty, David Morrison and a Scott Brown double.  The reported crowd at Creamery Park was 600.

The team was: Burns, G Brown, Russell, Tully, Smith, Mullen (Lynch), Morrison, Sinclair (McGlinchey), S Brown, Mortimer (Kenny), Mauchline

For a teaser, we'll go to an enjoyable recent place, 2014, when the SuperLeague title was clinched for a third time!  Three part question today, all straightforward.

1.  Who were the opponents that day?

2.  Who scored a BU hat-trick that day?

3.  Who came on as sub for 'keeper Mark Peat?

Lochee, I didn't think anyone scored a hat-trick (Devine, Anderson, Hislop and Gribbs x2?), Stewart Baillie.

Gribbs scored in 2, 33 & 70 mins.  Devine wasn.t on the scoresheet. 

You did get 1 & 3 right though.

2010 and the BU's knew that only a win against nearest challengers Linlithgow Rose would guarantee the Super League title coming to Newtown Park.  It took only 2 minutes for Newtown to erupt as Fraser Forrest lashed the ball home after a corner.  The unlikely figure of Steven Ballantine headed a 2nd goal just after the half hour and it was done, 2-0 to the BU's.

The team was: Longmuir, Snowdon, Fleming, Forrest, Duffin, Hay, Ballantine, Shirra, McFadyen, Gribben (Walker), Donnelly
