Tranent vs Bo’ness United

Tranent’s inaugural season in the Lowland League saw them defeat Bo’ness United 2-0 at Newtown Park, and draw 1-1 at Foresters.

Both sides have taken maximum points from their opening two games. Tranent won 2-1 away from home against East Stirlingshire, and blew Edinburgh University away with a 6-2 victory at Foresters.

Bo’ness United opened their campaign with a 3-0 win at home against Gala Fairydean Rovers, and came from behind to defeat Berwick Rangers 2-1 away from home.

Having left Tranent to take over as Bo’ness United boss in 2019, Max Christie made a return to the hotseat of The Belters at the end of last season – taking Alassan Jones and Lennon Walker with him. Defender, Shaun Rutherford made the reverse trip, leaving Tranent to join the B.U.s.

An early season fixture that has it all, making it this weekend’s ‘Star Match’.

Tranent vs Edinburgh University

The last time the sides met at Foresters Park, Tranent cruised to an 8-0 win.

Pipped by many to be title contenders, Tranent got their 23/24 campaign underway as they left Falkirk Stadium with three points – thanks to a 2-1 win over East Stirling.

Broque Watson put the Big T ahead on the 32nd minute, with Cammy Ross doubling the lead four minutes later. Shaun Brown pulled one back for the home side, just before half-time.

A big change at East Peffermill saw Sean McAuley come in for ever-present Dorian Ogunro, who departed after eleven years as Head Coach – and city rivals Civil Service Strollers were the visitors on the opening day.

Whilst the students will be disappointed to have scored three goals at home and be on the losing side, they’ll be encouraged to be finding the back of the net – with last season’s goal difference being -96, 31 scored, 127 conceded.
