8MileBU Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Even Dave couldn't call that one a tap-in! The noise and buzz in the shed when Hissy scored that day was incredible. Would put the wee Rose’s pitiful little ‘yaay’ when Coyne scored last night to shame. Auld Heid currently teetering on the verge on their thread and the match one.

Jambo'ness Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Nov 25th A recent game in 2017 but one worth recalling. Junior Cup day and our opponents were the leaders of the Western SuperLeague, Kilwinning Rangers. Not surprisingly they were huge favourites but crashed to earth at Newtown. Calum Scott opened the scoring in 15 mins. The BU's dominated the first half but it wasn't until 5 mins after the break that Fraser Keast volleyed home a 2nd goal. The Rangers were then reduced to ten men before Calum Scott wrapped things up 3-0 The team was: Murphy, Gibb (Flynn-Gillespie), Snowdon (Batchelor), Campbell, Hunter, Gemmell, Jacobs, A Shirra, Keast (Millar), Kelly, Scott Edited November 25, 2019 by Jambo'ness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo'ness Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Nov 26th 1977 and the Journal headline said it all. 'Bo'ness wreck Rose record'. The BU's faced an unbeaten Linlithgow Rose side at Prestonfield in front of 800. Several things made this game notable. Andy Dunleavie made his debut, lining up with three other teenagers. This was the game that saw Willie Ferguson save two penalties from former BU man Tommy Ure, 48 seconds apart! Ian Miller scored the first from a good breakaway and then Tom Breen fired home a free-kick. The Rose got one back but to no avail. 2-1 to the BU's. The team was: Ferguson, Robertson, Taylor, Stewart, McQueen, Dunleavie (Boyd), Craw (Balanowski), Breen, Miller, Eddie, McDonald 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd half saw seven scored, four by the BU's. Another by the newman, two from Jim McLean and one from Bobby Gibb 6-3 The team was: Bennie, Reilly, Speakman, Trialist, Potter, Reynolds, McGowan, McKay, Trialist, Gibb, McLean 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
