Season 2003-04
Lothians Second Division
Scottish Cup 1st round
Broxburn 0 - 0 Bathgate crowd 300+
Bathgate 3 - 1 Broxburn (Fergus)
Highlights
What a season. Broxburn won the race for promotion and the
championship with Billy Russell as manager. And won it in style too.
Most important player was centre-forward Lurinsky, a signing from
Stranraer and dazzled the Broxburn support with his skills and goals,
but this took nothing off the rock steady defence partnership of Andrew
Brash and Kevin Carr. As Broxburn had been starved of success for
so long, it looks as though Broxburn's fortunes had turned.
Broxburn faced Superleague sides in local cup competitions and did
more than compete with them but actually beat a few too. The best
performance was at Bonnyrigg when going down 2-0, won 4-2 and
reached the quarter finals of the Brown Cup.
Another early Scottish Cup exit but not in disgrace. Bathgate held on
to force a replay in a 0-0 encounter at the Albyn which Broxburn could
easly of won had they converted one of their many chances but in the
replay Broxburn where beat 3-1.
