Late leveller earns point for Berwick Rangers against Hearts B

Some fans had been disappointed the defender was allowed to go out on loan to Dundonald Bluebell, but he showed his value with an 80th minute header against Hearts B in his first game since returning.

And he will be hopeful of cementing his role when Berwick take on Cumbernauld Colts this Saturday.

Mid-table Berwick were looking to make amends for a heavy defeat at Ferguson Park earlier in the campaign, and in an even Lowland League contest, they were made to wait for a share of the spoils in a 1-1 draw.

On a wet pitch, it was the visitors who broke the deadlock through Murray Thomas in the 50th minute. But Rangers battled on and were rewarded with Baker’s equaliser 10 minutes from time, the left-back rising to net a powerful header from a corner.

Berwick now sit 12th in the league and travel to 14th-placed Cumbernauld Colts this weekend for a fixture which has been reversed due to the weather.

Berwick will be without midfielder Jack Wright, who was released from his contract after 18 months with the club, but they will include young defender Blair Sneddon again, as he has extended his loan period from Falkirk.

In the East of Scotland Second Division, it was a disappointing day for Tweedmouth Rangers, as they fell 4-1 at Arniston Rangers.

Regan Graham put Tweedmouth ahead after 12 minutes, but the home side rallied to take complete control in the second half.

Man of the Match Tom Davies netted their equaliser five minutes after the restart, before Niall Kemp scored twice in six minutes after an hour. Ryan Turner then ne the home side’s fourth goal, seven minutes from time.

In the Border Amateur C Division, Berwick Colts endured a tough afternoon, with a hefty 9-3 defeat at table-topping Eyemouth United Amateurs.

But there was joy for third-placed Highfields United as they grabbed a 3-2 win over bottom club Lauder in the same division, with goals from Martin Inglis, Lee Dodd and Ryan Lillico.
