Two Jags

Partick Thistle 3-1 Berwick Rangers

Berwick went out of this year's Challenge Cup after going down to two late goals at Firhill this evening. Berwick spent the majority of the first half defending and conceded the opening goal from a set piece. The Jags' Gary Harkins putting his free kick round the wall and into the net for the opener. The second half saw Berwick slowly but surely gain confidence and start to put Thistle under a bit more pressure. Thistle appeared to believe the game was over and were coasting although Berwick believed otherwise and pulled themselves back into the game when Danny Swanson tucked away an equaliser at the second attempt with just 12 minutes to go.

Sadly, that was the kick up the backside that Thistle needed and they clinched victory with two late goals.

Bizarrely the game was held up for a short while when a sprinkler went off!
