Junior wrap: Seventh heaven for Broxburn | Rose are swift
Broxburn Athletic 7-2 Newtongrange Star (Super League)

The hosts got back on level terms just after the break when Jack Beasley’s free kick was deflected into the net. Darren Gribben then made no mistake from the spot on 56 minutes. The big changing point in game when Star’s Brian Murray was sent off wide right for a bad foul. The resultant free kick was headed home by Nicholas Locke. Alexander Miller the had two exceptional strikes to make it 5-1. Newtongrange got a lifeline when another penalty was struck home by Stephen Scott. Broxburn’s Kieran Anderson finished off the scoring with a double on 78 and 81 minutes. The scoreline could have been even more had Renton not made a wonderful save from Locke
