LATEST MATCHES— As the saying goes, ‘What goes round, comes round’ and this has rung true for Berwick Rangers the past two weekends. On April 5th, down to ten men, they lost 2-1 at Stirling Albion by virtue of the ‘Binos’ scoring two very late goals. At Elgin last Saturday ( April 12th ), it was Berwick’s turn to clinch victory with goals in the 87th and 88th minutes from Andy Russell and Josh Morris respectively against a City team reduced to nine men through dismissals. The final score was 3-1. The win keeps alive Berwick’s hopes of making the play-offs.
Berwick Rangers Reserves beat Burntisland Shipyard 1-0 at Shielfield on Saturday ( April 12th ) with the man dismissed at Stirling, Paul Currie, able to play as his suspension did not apply to the East of Scotland League. Kenny O’Brien scored the winner for the Reserves in the second half.

FIXTURE CHANGES—The Reserves’ East of Scotland League Cup Preliminary Round tie at home to Hawick Royal Albert will now be played at Shielfield on Tuesday, April 22nd, kick off 7:45 p.m. with the winners due to be away to Hibernian Reserves four days later. Originally, the Reserves were down to be at home to Eyemouth United on April 22nd but that league game has been put back a week to Tuesday, April 29th ( kick off 7:45 p.m. ).
