Back to 1973 now and the BU's lined up at Newtown against Newtongrange Star in the newly formed Division A.  Bo'ness ran out clear winners by 3-0, with Joe Harris netting a double, one a penalty, his only goals for the club before being freed in September.  Alan Connell bagged the other goal.

The team was: Eccles, J McQueen, I McQueen, McGraw, Forrester, Pryde, Connell, Harris, Murray, Johnston, Machin subs Simpson, Toal

2005 and the BU's travelled to play Dundee North End in a League match.  A 2-1 win was secured through goals from George O'Boyle & Alan Ward but the real talking point was the brief comeback of Darrell Drew.  Re-signed from Camelon, he was sent off a minute after coming on as a sub in the 75th minute.  Not the impact he was looking for.

The team was: Orr, Vella, Jeffrey, Russell, Salton, Donnelly, Brigain, Anthony (Brown), Ward (Drew), O'Boyle (Ryan), Winning

1993 saw 2nd Division Bonnybridge visit Newtown for a League Cup match.  They were no match for the BU's who sent them packing by 9-2.  The goals were shared out between five players.  Jimmy Burns, who started the rout, scored a brace, ex-Bonnybridge player Paul McLaren netted and another with 'brig connections, Gary Wilcox grabbed two.  Andy McLean scored one but the hat-trick hero was Mark Whyte.

The team was: Kirkwood, McCann, Meldrum, McLean, Malloy, Wilcox, Hoggan, Hume (Brookfield), Whyte, Burns, McLaren
