Day: 23 July 2017

Great weekend for the club getting two great work outs as we up our game for the beginning of the season with this pre season tournament “The Kelty Hearts Tournament “.With a 3-2 win against Sauchie on Saturday followed by a 3-3 draw against the hosts then to go on and win the trophy on penalties was a bonus as again the squad got good game time with the season only two weeks away .We took the lead today after 5 minutes through Zander Murray with Kelty equalising from a free kick from Stephen Husband on the hour mark . We retook the lead a minute later with Zander Murray getting his second goal of the day . Errol Douglas got the hosts back on level terms on 71 minutes . With fourteen minutes left the hosts took the lead for the first time through another identical free kick from his first .Broxburn were not to be out done as we equalised on 82 minutes through a great Craig Scott effort into the top corner . with no further scoring it was to be decided on penalties With Gribben , Downie and Scott scoring before Wallace blasted over ,the big keeper made amends by saving twice in the shoot out before Scott Richards fired home the winning penalty .The cup was presented to the players representative Mark Fountain to cap a good weekend at the office .

After beating Sauchie 3-2 and Kelty beating Kennoway Star Hearts 3-1 we will play the hosts in the final at Kelty on Sunday 23rd of July at 3pm Kennoway and Sauchie will play off for third place at 12 noon .
