Fauldhouse huffed and puffed but their chances were stifled by a resolute Boness defence marshalled by Dougie Todd.
As expected, their front two of Ian McMurray and Colin Allison caused the Boness defence problems but keeper Binnie still had no saves to make in the first 30 minutes.
With the wind at their backs after the break, Boness gradually came more into the game and only six minutes of the second half had gone when they made it 2-0.

 Porteous Research Project
Later, in 1864, William Porteous travelled from Bo'ness, Falkirk, Linlithgowshire, Scotland aboard the 'Beautiful Star' to Port Chalmers and then on to Otaga, New Zealand.
One of the first Porteous family members to migrate to the colonies for whom we have a record is Henry Porteous, who emigrated from Edinburgh to St Helena Island about 1787.
Around 1860 John Porteous moved from Stranraer, Scotland to Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand - a city which has rightly been described as 'The Edinburgh of the South', and became the father of Dr William James Porteous (1884-1969), renowned medical missionary to the Punjab.
