Ritchie
Broxburn opened the scoring with Stuart Ritchie in the first half, scoring from 6 yards out. The equaliser came for Spartans in the
second half with play down the left wing and Broxburn on the back foot. Douglas was nearly the hero at the end after coming on as sub but his effort was just wide. The Spartans keeper twisted his ankle after going for the ball and Spartans where reduced to 10 men for the remainder of injury time.

Broxburn switched their home tie to Dunbar for this league match with Dunbar. The first half was frustrating for Broxburn after attempts on goals weren't converted. Broxburn had a strong penalty claim turned down by the referee in the first half after a foul in the box.
The second half seen Geddes score around the hour mark, though Jeffrey's deserves credit for the goal too. However Jeffrey did get on the scoresheet after Geddes worked down the right wing and crossedn for Jeffrey to head home on the 6-yard box. A simple but effective Broxburn attack.
