Cowdenbeath beat Bo'ness United in Lowland League match

The match saw the home side triumph in a tightly contested affair, played in front of an enthusiastic crowd.

Bo'ness started brightly, with Thomas Grant testing Cowden's goalkeeper Owen Hayward early on.

In the fourteenth minute, Hayward made a brilliant save to deny Grant's fierce effort from seventeen yards.

Just three minutes later, Roan Fitzpatrick came close, sending a twenty-yard shot inches over the bar.

The away side continued to press, and a cross from Jack Hodge nearly found the net, glancing off defender Scott Cameron's head and rolling just wide.

The breakthrough came for the Blues just before half-time.

Williamson chased down a long ball, outpacing his marker to fire a ten-yard shot past Fry, putting Cowden ahead.

McDowell nearly doubled the lead with a nineteen-yard effort that Fry managed to hold.

However, Bo'ness responded with Kieran Mitchell's angled shot, which was saved by Hayward, and Fitzpatrick struck the bar with a stunning thirty-yard free-kick shortly after.

As the match drew to a close, Cowden's defence held firm, with Hayward making crucial saves to preserve the lead.
