The hosts showed their intent as early as the second minute when a ball into the box found Ross Crawford at the back of the box but he shot over the bar . The opening goal came not long after on six minutes when a long ball down the left found Alan Docherty and he ran on and squared the ball across the box to the supporting ROSS CRAWFORD who had the easiest of chances to turn the ball into the empty net . Crawford got into the box again three minutes later but with Ross Cameron getting on the end of it Connor Wallace saved his attempt at goal . Darren Downie done well to bring the ball down on the edge of the box and lay it off to Alexander Murray who saw his shot well saved . A throw in on eleven minutes from Jack Beasley found Alexander Miller who turned and shot but Dean Shaw tipped the ball over the bar . Alan Docherty saw his free kick on 20 minutes go just over the bar . A couple of minutes later Broxburn had a let off when a ball into the box was scrambled clear but Beasley’s attempt to clear all most end up in his own goal but came of the bar and away from the danger area . Camelon smelt blood and almost doubled their lead on 23 minutes when a ball across the box from left to right found Crawford at the back post but he could not find the target and his attempt went out for a bye kick . Half way through the half Ross Nimmo put a ball across from the left but Downie’s shot was saved . Nimmo himself had a shot blocked 1 minute later . Ross Cameron shaved the bar with a 30 yard effort just before the half hour mark . Miller and Nimmo combined well to set up a chance which was just beyond their team mates as the ball sailed across the box . Alan Docherty got down the left hand side on a counter attack and got into the box before shooting which Wallace saved by pushing the ball round his left hand post for a corner . The corner came in and found ALAN DOCHERTY who fired home with the help of a slight deflection . On 37 minutes a long ball was knocked back out the Camelon box and landed at Miller’s feet but his shot went wide right of the goal . With a Minute left of the half Nimmo put a ball into Murray who under pressure from two defender’s shot over the bar .
Camelon sealed the points three minutes into the second half when a ball into the box bounced past the defence and found ROSS CRAWFORD who slid the ball under the advancing Wallace . With an hour gone Miller put a ball out right to Beasley who’s shot went just over the bar . Ross Nimmo made a good run through the centre of the Camelon defence but his shot in the end went just over the bar . On 69 minutes a ball across the box was cut out by Wallace before Valentine stepped in to clear the danger . With twenty minutes remaining Andrew Gillen and Alexander Murray carved open a chance with Murray’s shot well saved by Shaw . The game was truly over on 72 minues when Valentine lost the ball midway inside his own half allowing Jordan Herron to run in on goal but his shot was saved but unfortunately for the visitors the ball broke to ALAN SNEDDON who scored easily . Broxburn could have got a consolation with five minutes remaining when Jack Beasley’s free kick from 30 yards out on the right crashed of the left hand post and bounced away from the danger area . A minute later a corner into the box was met by the head of Miller but it went wide right .
