Livingston United 0 Broxburn Athletic 1

BROXBURN faced a difficult task in their quest for league glory, with Livingston on good form of late. It was the hosts who almost took the lead when Easton found himself clear and forced Maley to turn the ball round his post.

Chic Pearson broke the deadlock for Broxburn on 27 minutes, slotting home at the back post after good play from Martin and Jeffreys. Martin hit the post on the hour mark but no goals were to come despite the visitors' dominance.
