A very entertaining game left both managers possibly reflecting if the result was a point gained or two points lost.

In front of a crowd of over 400, Bonnyrigg started the brightest. The first chance came on 10 minutes when a ball over the top was laid off by King to the right for Archibald to run on to and cross into the box. The cross was met by the head of Renton who must have thought he scored, and would have done only for a superb one handed save from Chrstie to his left.

It was Linlithgow who opened the scoring however in the strangest of circumstances. The ball fell to Tyrell, who from fully 35 yeards out unleashes a left footed shot which smacked off Alan Horne's face and looped into the Bonnyrigg goal with Mark Weir helpless to stop it.

That seemed to knock the stuffing out of Bonnyrigg who had started brightly and they were two down on 29 minutes. A Nelson corner was headed back across goal by Coyne, which lead to a goalmouth scramble and it was Ruairi McLennan who reacted quickest and poked the ball home.

Linlithgow finshed the half stronger with neither keeper really called into action.

Bonnyrigg came out fired up for the second half and within one minute of the restart had halfed the deficit. The ball was played out to King on the right, who swung a left footed cross into the box which was met by the head of Sean Grady for his 12th of the season.

This seemed to spur on the home side, with Horne shooting from distance at the end of a trademark run on 50 minutes and another superb stop from a Grady volley by Chrstie one minute later.

The sides were level on 54 minutes which started from an attacking throw out from Weir to McLeish who ran with the ball up the right wing. McLeish played the ball into midlfield and received it back. He turned right then left which avoided the onward McKillen and his cross to the far side of the box was headed into the goal by David White.

Linlithgow had a good chance to go ahead on 65 minutes but a Roddy McLennan shot in the box just avioded Weir's right post. Woodburn went close for Bonnyrigg when he headed over from close range from a Mcleish corner.

Both keepers played their part in keeping the scores level. Weir stood up well when faced with a one on one situation with Tommy Coyne in 75 minutes and Chrstie foiled another Reton header on 78 minutes in an action replay of the chance in the first half.

The game ended all square for Bonnyrigg's 10th league draw of the campagin and in truth neither side deserved to be on the losing side in this encounter.

The Rose finish off their league campaign with a trip to Carmuirs to face Camelon, looking to end the season with a victory and a place as high as possible on the final league table.
