Holden had a chance to be provider a minute later but his ball into the box was cleared by the Broxburn defence .At the other end Nick Locke got down the right and his cross into the box was met by Alexander Miller but he could not get enough power on it to trouble the keeper .Two minutes later Alexander Miller was through with the keeper to beat but found Mark Mitchell at full stretch to turn the ball past his left hand post for a corner . There was action at the other end when Holden had a shot that Shaun Donoghue dealt with comfortably . Locke provided Miller with another chance on 11 minutes but the keeper thwarted the chance yet again . On quarter of an hour a ball into the box was coming to Grant Gavin but the defender had a fresh air shot at it and Holden who was standing between him and Donoghue couldn’t react quickly enough on the mistake and Donoghue gathered the ball .The home defence thwarted a Nick Locke effort on 17 minutes . Approaching half way through the first half chances went a begging for the visitors .

Miller and Gribben set up a chance on 26 minutes but the ball would not fall kindly to either and the chance was gone .

Anderson again got down the left and Millers header was stopped and cleared off the line . This sent the home side straight up the other end and Daniel Kelly saw his shot go wide right . With six minutes remaining Mitchell pulled of a great save from Richards . A minute later Zander Miller turned in the box and his shot was saved . Jeanfield almost got all three points with two minutes remaining when a ball into the box saw Gary Fergus head unchallenged from six yards out over the bar ,a let off for the visitors .
