Garbage

Dumbarton 2 - 0 Berwick Rangers

"Garbage" was among the words being hurled from the stands on Saturday as Berwick fans watched on as their Dreamteam went down 2-0 at Dumbarton in the Scottish Cup. Two first half goals sealed the win for the third division side.

It really was dire (not just the atrocious weather), especially in the first half where after David Greenhill's early effort we struggled to really challenge the keeper. A McLeish penalty miss only added to our woe. Berwick had much of the second half possession but created little of any danger with it, bar a Wood header that went wide and a couple of other half chances.
