The home side created a number of chances and Ure might have done better than head over the Bonnyrigg bar from close in. Bonnyrigg did get forward with Ryan McCallum and James Morrice shooting wide of the Bo'ness goal.

In the second half Bonnyrigg looked a better prospect and there were a couple of close shaves for the Bo'ness defence. But the Midlothian men got the vital goal in 83 minutes. Bo'ness failed to capitalise on a corner and Bonnyrigg broke up the park. Sean Grady played a great pass to put James Steele in on goal and the Bonnyrigg substitute blasted past Jordan Longmuir from the edge of the box.
