🏆EoSFL 1st Div 🟦 Crossgates P’rose 0️⃣ ⬜️ Blackburn Utd 0️⃣ An entertaining match in tricky conditions. A well organised performance with the hosts held to shots from distance.

Congrats to striker Andy Jones who has been named SM Media EoSFL First Division Player of the Week for a second time. Leading the line against Thornton, Andy caused problems throughout and it was only fitting his performance was capped with a well-taken goal 👏 🏴🏁🏳️ #skillandhardwork #montheburnie

Fantastic idea from the Community Club, putting our local schools right at the heart of Blackburn United. A chance for pupils to show what Blackburn means to them - what would your flag say about being Blackburn United? 🏴🏁🏳️ #montheburnie

We head to Fife on Sat and, when it comes to bogey sides, Crossgates might just be one of ours. We’ve visited Humbug Park 7 times before on league duty, winning 3 — but the last of those wins came back in 2016, with our last 4 trips all ending in defeat. Hopefully it’s time to change that. 🧵[1/2]
