Broxburn Athletic United v Murieston Reds 24 September - League
It was evident to everyone who saw the game that our new team members are going to improve our squad. Going into to half time, we were unlucky to go behind. Broxburn scored from two free kicks and that was the difference between the teams. We dictated play but we just couldn't get the ball in the net and when our shots did hit the target then their goalie always seemed to be in the right place. The highlight of the first half was a great run from Harry who showed great skill to beat his man before crossing for Adam Frame to score an excellent goal. Adam's goal was well deserved considering the amount of running and effort he put in. Luke, Ben and Kyle also came close to scoring. Broxburn pulled away from us in the second half to secure the win but not before Jack and Declan both scored.
Armadale Falcons v Murieston Reds 03 September - League
This was a really close run match, which could have gone either way at the end. We looked good and were leading by 1 goal with 5 minutes to go, but Armadale's constant pressure paid off with two goals to seal the victory. We can be proud of the hard work we put in, challenging for every tackle and running back to help out team mates.
Jack and Harry both provided width to our play by using the wings and getting crosses in. Kyle was on hand to score 2 goals from close range by following in on the goalkeeper. Our defence looked strong this week with Robert and Ryan putting in some great tackles. In midfield, Adam F and Ben did plenty of running and tackling and did really well to track back to help the defence. Ben scored a great goal from far out which looped over the keeper and Luke went very close with another effort in the box. Once again, Adam C had an outstanding game in goal making save after
