Whitburn go nap against Glenrothes
Whitburn were looking to get back to winning league ways after their 5-3 reverse at Penicuik last midweek. In the end they achieved this resoundingly with a five goal haul which, given results elsewhere, saw them return to fourth in the league! Yet it was Glenrothes that started best as they had a couple of off target efforts in the first four minutes. Two minutes later Harrison Edwards had Whitburn’s first chance when put in wide left from a free kick and his low shot was pushed round the post by keeper Dale Wotherspoon. The next chance of note fell to the visitor’s Mark Beveridge who shot from the edge of the box was saved by Danny Farrell. The deadlock was broken midway through the half when an Edwards cross was knocked out by Wotherspoon, under pressure from Cammy Graham, straight to Stevie Clark who slammed the ball into the net..............................

Whitburn Junior Football Club have launched a Gofundme page to raise funds to make the necessary park improvements to obtain our SFA license and to apply for that license.
Having gained promotion from the lower leagues in each of the past three years, we aim to raise £10,000 using Crowdfunding. Without this licence we will not be able to gain further promotions or participate in the Scottish Cup.
The team is part of Whitburn Community Sports Club with over 250 footballers covering all ages from under 6s to seniors. The club also hosts charity football matches and local Civic Week sporting events, as well as other non -sporting events.
The club is ambitious, and plans to upgrade the facilities at our home ground, Central Park, to be able to compete at a higher level in the near future. The Community Club and others would also benefit from improvements.
£10,000 will cover the cost of the licence application and the initial ground improvements needed to meet the licence criteria. Anything raised above this will go towards further ground improvements.
If you decide to donate, thanks for joining our team and helping us on our journey.
Under 20s

Whitburn took the lead in the ninth minute when Chris Hughes scored the first of his eventual four goals from the penalty spot. Just three minutes later Stoneyburn were level from a free kick from the left corner of the box which went in off the underside of the bar. Callum Gray scored a second when he reacted to a save from the keeper which rebounded off him and he calmly slotted the ball home. With 66 minutes on the clock a long ball out of defence was knocked into space just over halfway and Hughes got on the end of it, rounded the keeper and hit it into the net from a tight angle. The late show saw three goals in the last three minutes with two more from Hughes, twice getting behind the defence and finding the net and then Callum Byrne from around 25 yards out and wide left scored with a great shot to fully secure the victory. For the record although it might seem as though 6-1 flattered Whitburn (especially with the three late goals), Whitburn had had numerous chances to add to their tally but their shooting was pretty wayward.
