Match Report

Berwick Rangers finally rediscovered their scoring touch in emphatic fashion last night, claiming a convincing 3-0 victory over Clydebank in the League Cup.

The home side's wait for a goal ended after just 16 minutes. Ken Bowron capitalized on a sloppy Clydebank backpass, nipped around the goalkeeper, and slotted the ball home to put Berwick ahead. Winger Vint piled on the misery for the visitors just three minutes later, grabbing a second goal to extend Berwick's lead.

Clydebank were offered a lifeline two minutes before halftime when they were awarded a free kick a mere eight yards from goal. However, Munro's attempt failed to find the net, as the Berwick defence cleared the danger.

The second half saw some frustration creep into the Clydebank ranks. Ruddy was shown a yellow card for a foul on Paterson, and Munro followed suit shortly after for a moment of petulance.

Berwick continued to dominate, putting the game beyond doubt in the 70th minute. A Haig free kick found Paterson unmarked in the box, and he rose majestically to head the ball past a helpless Madden in the Clydebank goal.

Despite Berwick's dominance, Clydebank's goalkeeper did manage to pull off a couple of impressive saves in the latter stages to prevent the scoreline from becoming even more lopsided. Ultimately, however, Berwick were deserved winners on the night, ending their goal drought in style.
