West Lothian schools battle it out for first ever B Inspired Cup

Broxburn United Sports Club and Lothian Disability Sports teamed up to host the first B Inspired Cup at Albyn Park.

The event was designed to give local pupils with a disability the opportunity to play competitive football and win a cup for their school.

Pinewood School in Blackburn and Cedarbank in Livingston competed for the trophy while students from Broxburn Academy organised a series of drills and fun games for the players in the morning.

BUSC’s Ahren White and Jack Brodie of Lothian Disability Sports teamed up to help organise the event.

Ahren said: “The event was great and being able to get two disability schools to attend and play competitive football was amazing.

“Everyone took part throughout the day and not one person was sitting out.

“We got amazing feedback from the staff at both schools, saying how much the pupils enjoyed the day. We are planning to hold the event next year and hopefully it’s going to be bigger and better.”

The teams played three games of 15 minutes with points awarded for winning, goals and player of the match.

Cedarbank who edged to the title, winning 21-18 over the three games.

Ahren thanked all the staff and pupils who went along plus the Broxburn Academy pupils who helped out.
