Broxburn Athletic lead the way for West Lothian with perfect record in East of Scotland cup games

Broxburn Athletic grabbed two late goals to secure a 2-1 win over Leith Athletic and ensure top spot in their League Cup group section with a perfect record.

Andy Gillen levelled things up seven minutes from time before Gary Brass fired home a late winner for the Brox.

Elsewhere in Group E, Fauldhouse United ended their campaign win with a resounding 6-2 victory over Craigroyston.

Whitburn clinched top spot in Group K and progress into the last-16 with a double-digit show at home to Peebles Rovers, winning 10-3 as they made it three wins on the spin.

Armadale Thistle jumped to the summit in Group A with a comfortable 3-0 win at Volunteer Park against Tweedmouth Rangers but they still need Jeanfield Swifts and Glenrothes to drop points to ensure they progress.

Linlithgow Rose edged out West Calder United in the only West Lothian derby of the weekend with the Rose winning 2-1. That result means Group J is still in the hands of Gordon Herd’s men who know they will top the group with victory over Luncarty, who held Blackburn United to a 0-0 draw.

Stoneyburn recovered well in their League Cup campaign after their resounding opening loss to Whitehill Welfare and backed up last week’s win over Ormiston with a credible 0-0 draw in Fife against Kennoway Star Hearts.

Livingston United rounded out Group F with a 2-0 away win against Edinburgh South, while there were home defeats for both Bathgate Thistle and Pumpherston.

The Jags were no match for Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale, who ran out 5-0 winners at Creamery Park, while Pumphy were edged out 3-2 by Lochgelly Albert.

In the West of Scotland, Harthill Royal picked up a 4-2 home win over Glenvale in their penultimate Division Four fixture of their maiden senior campaign.
