A short trip out to Armadale in the sunshine this morning for these lads. ☀️⚽

As always, they were right up for the game and never stopped working, even when it got a bit scrappy at times. Plenty of good football played, some really solid defending at times, some positives to take from the performance.

The effort, attitude and teamwork from the boys continues to impress every week and we will continue to work hard at training 👏💪

Onto the next one! 🔵⚪

After a few tough fixtures against some of the more established teams at this level, the boys keep turning up every week and giving 100% 👏⚽

There was some really good football on show tonight, with some excellent saves and a much more solid performance defensively throughout the team 💪🧤

Going forward, we want to keep encouraging the boys to be brave on the ball and back themselves even more in possession!

Every single player put a shift in tonight, keep working hard boys, it will all pay off 🔵⚪

First home game for these lads at Bathgate Academy and they should all be proud!

They worked hard for each other from start to finish, showed real togetherness, and put in a strong performance all over the pitch. Some absolutely brilliant saves at key moments and some quality goals to match 👏⚽

Shout out to our Captain, showing the resilience returning from injury and looking sharp in his new training top.

Well done boys, plenty to build on – we go again 👊

Great effort from the team on their away trip to Linlithgow in the sunshine this morning ☀️👏

From start to finish there was some brilliant football on display, with the lads showing great energy, teamwork, and determination throughout. It was great to see and it was topped off with a few cracking goals ⚽️

A special shoutout to our captain for leading by example with that never-give-up attitude – driving the team on right to the final whistle 💪

Also not forgetting the keeper, who was looking the part in the new kit 🧤🔥

Plenty positives to take forward – well done all!

First home game of the season for the boys today ⚽

The ball was bouncing and bobbling all over the place, but the lads adapted brilliantly and still managed to play some great football. They were solid at the back, worked hard for each other in defence, and scored some cracking team goals along the way – including a brilliant penalty save to keep the momentum going.

A special mention for captain today, who led by example and embodied the team ethos of maximum effort, teamwork and composure in front of goal.

If today is anything to go by, I hope the parents have plenty of washing powder stocked up for the season ahead!

Well done boys 👏 ⚽🔴

Another run out tonight. This time, against Murieston. Fairly even match up and plenty positives to take from it.

Boys put some shift in and it gets more minutes in the legs. Played some lovely football at times and was a real team effort.

Well done reds, on to the next one🔴⚽️👏

We headed over to our friends at Blackburn Utd tonight for a friendly. There were no signs of rustiness, it was a super game with chances at both ends and this lot as usual did themselves proud.

A big thanks to Matthew for helping out in goals tonight. A super effort and some great quick thinking to set up some counter attacks!

Well done boys!
