Today’s Man of the Match award goes to Blair Gallagher who continued his excellent form with a standout performance. He was unlucky not to come away with a clean sheet after a couple of top, top saves but it was another great shift.

Well done, Blair! 👏

A late gut punch today. Instead of closing in at the top of the table we’ve lost a bit of ground and now, rather than putting space between us and the chasing pack, the promotion race has tightened up a wee bit.

🏆 EoSFL 1st Division
⬛️ Blackburn United 0️⃣
🟥 Preston Ath 1️⃣

It was a sore one today in a game where we had our chances but didn’t impose ourselves in the way we can. It looked like it was heading for 0-0 after chances at both ends, but Preston struck a late winner to take all 3pts.

Fantastic news to hear that Callum is returning to the West Lothian beat as a freelancer! Everyone at United is delighted to see him striking out on his own and we can’t wait to read his work once again.

Great to have you back, Callum!

Very sad news today of the passing of George “Podge” Logan.

Podge was an ex-United committee member and played a part in helping run our fundraising bingo evenings when they were held in the Bowling Club.

The club’s thoughts are with the Logan family at this difficult time 🖤🤍

Today’s Man of the Match was Alfie Norris. The 17 year-old stepped up from our Under 20s at centre-half today and put in a composed performance. He looked after the ball well and did his job when needed. A bright future ahead.

Well done, Alfie 👏

🏆 King Cup 1st Rnd
⬛️ Stoneyburn 2️⃣
🟨 Blackburn Utd 1️⃣

We were off the pace in the 1st half, with Stoneyburn on top. A much-improved 2nd half saw us go ahead through a cracking Hunter finish. However, two goals deep into injury-time from the hosts turned it around and took them through.

🎙️First words from our new signing, Richie Hutton. To be fair, initially he does look like he’s questioning all his life choices but then remembers he’s just returned to the Purdie Worldwide Community Stadium!!

The league takes a back seat to the King Cup today as we head up the road to take on local rivals, Third Division Stoneyburn. A quick reminder to our travelling supporters that kick-off comes half an hour earlier than usual so make sure you’re there in good time to back the boys!

Great news, season ticket holder Doik has come through his hip operation and is recovering well. We’re looking forward to seeing him back in his usual spot behind the goals, shouting advice the players absolutely can hear but definitely won’t follow! 🤣
