Johnstone Burgh were beaten 3-0 in their final pre-season match this summer.

We fell behind to a penalty in the 20th minute, with Kieran Mitchell sending Luke Scullion the wrong way.

The visitors doubled their lead nine minutes later when captain Kyle Johnstone rose above everybody else to head in from a corner.

Bo'ness United were awarded their second penalty of the match on the hour mark. Mitchell took it and, like his first one, sent Scullion the wrong way to make it 3-0.
