Festive stuffing

Berwick moved in to second place today after a 3-2 victory over a Stenny side containing a number of ex-Berwickers.

A fantastic travelling support of around 100 cheered on the mighty Berwick from the off and were quickly celebrating when a delightful Thomson corner was headed home by Stuart Fraser. Stenny got back level through Hutchison before Cowan had a nightmare at the back to let Thomo in for no. 2. Then the keeper took his turn and gifted Berwick a third through a long range effort from Gary Greenhill which should have been easily saved.

Stenny hit back and really made a fist of getting back level and gave themselves 35 minutes to do it when Fagen made it 3-2. We held out, just, with the post and the bar coming to our rescue and terrific running from Robbie Manson, Thomson and David Greenhill but all in all a fantastic afternoon of entertaining football - and win number seven in a row.
