Bo’ness edge out Camelon on penalties

BO’NESS UNITED moved into the fourth round of the Fife and Lothians Cup after beating Camelon 8-7 on penalties.

A bruising encounter produced no goals in regulation time. The penalty shoot-out saw both sides score seven apiece before visiting keeper Scott Christie turned hero, netting his own penalty and then saving Gary Brash’s effort to send his team through.

In the same competition, Bonnyrigg were pushed to the limit in a 3-1 win over Rosyth. After a goalless first half, James Steele broke the deadlock only for Rosyth to equalise. Late goals from Stevie Thomson and Liam McKenna saw Rose through.
