No highlights for this game, but we thought Cammy's goal direct from a corner kick was worth sharing, even though it won't be in the record books.
Apologies for the other Veo camera being in the line of sight.

Please join us in welcoming our new Manager Lewis Turner . Lewis joins up after a successful spell at Broxburn.
A note from Lewis:
I’m delighted to be appointed as the new manager of Whitburn Junior FC. This is a proud moment for me and my family, and I’m honoured to be given the opportunity to lead such a fantastic club. From the moment I arrived, it was clear how much passion and commitment there is around Whitburn, both on and off the pitch, there is no doubt this is a big club. Having had recent success in going up the leagues we now need to kick on again.
This is my first step into management, and I am hungry for success. As a player, I was fortunate enough to win six league titles and achieve four promotions at this level, and I hope to bring my knowledge of the league, experience, drive, and winning mentality into the club. My focus will be on building a strong, hardworking squad that reflects the values of Whitburn Juniors—togetherness, effort, and pride in wearing the badge. I look forward to working with the players, staff, and supporters to bring success to the club and give the fans who pay their hard earned money a team they can be proud of, and will always give 100% effort week in week out. We have work to do and I can’t wait to get started.
Lewis.
Lewis will confirm his backroom staff in the coming days. Lewis also has his honeymoon this coming week during which time the club will be looked after by his backroom staff.
We ask that everyone join us in giving Lewis a big Burnie Welcome
The winner of the September draw is Ronnie Brown.
The 100 Club is an easy way of helping the club. You only need to provide details once, then you can forget about it.
All we are asking is that you commit to a regular payment of at least £5 per month. That's just £1.25 per week, less than the cost of a pie at the game or a drink in the club.
We prefer payment to be made by standing order which allows the committee to concentrate on other tasks, but we will accept cash payment if you prefer.
All 100 Club members are entered into a monthly draw for a cash prize, the amount being dependant on the monthly income - as membership increases, so does the prize money.
If you would like to join, please get in touch. Link to the contact form is below.

Following Whitburn's 7th place finish last season, we will again play in the East of Scotland Premier Division, which is the top league in the East of Scotland Football Association, and tier 6 of the Scottish Football pyramid system.
This league promises to be even more competitive than it was last season.
Whitburn Junior Football Club have launched a Gofundme page to raise funds to make the necessary park improvements to obtain our SFA license and to apply for that license.
Having gained promotion from the lower leagues in each of the past three years, we aim to raise £10,000 using crowdfunding. Without this licence we will not be able to gain further promotions or participate in the Scottish Cup.
The team is part of Whitburn Community Sports Club with over 250 footballers covering all ages from under 6s to seniors. The club also hosts charity football matches and local Civic Week sporting events, as well as other non -sporting events.
The club is ambitious, and plans to upgrade the facilities at our home ground, Central Park, to be able to compete at a higher level in the near future. The Community Club and others would also benefit from improvements.
£10,000 will cover the cost of the licence application and the initial ground improvements needed to meet the licence criteria. Anything raised above this will go towards further ground improvements.
If you decide to donate, thanks for joining our team and helping us on our journey.
Please note:
When you make a donation via Gofundme, a “tip” is automatically added to the amount you donate. This tip goes to the Gofundme platform. If you do not wish to pay this tip, use the slider to change the amount to 0, or whatever value you wish.
Gofundme take a small percentage from every donation to cover administration costs. This means the Football Club will not receive the full amount you donate. If you want to make sure the full amount goes to the club, you can make a direct bank transfer to the club instead of using Gofundme. If you choose to do this, please state "crowdfunder" as the reference.
