We’re delighted to hear the news from the treatment table that John Duffy has been discharged from hospital! Apparently the docs say everything went smoothly but they were a bit puzzled when he insisted his “magic cola” was essential to his recovery!!

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 🖤🤍
