Maughan    Mercer    C McGlashan     Cusick    McKinnon

Substitutes:- Wight, Steele (for C McGlashan), Heenan (for Maughan) Cunningham, J McGlashan (for McKinnon)  

Highlights:- On a very windy evening, more like Gayfield conditions, Arbroath who were missing the injured Stevie Mallan had the wind advantage and in the first minute Cusick, who had returned from suspension, had a good attempted stopped by the keeper. McKinnon was partnering Colin McGlashan up front but it was John McAulay who came closest in the first half which Arbroath dominated.
With the wind at their backs in the second half Berwick came out fired up and in the firs 29 minutes had an effort cleared off of the line by Florence, an effort which hit the bar and a 35 yard wind assisted free kick which rocketed past Hinchcliffe. Arbroath through caution to the wind but no-one could convert Heenan's fine crosses and in a desperate last ditch attempt Mercer was moved up front but we were unable to pull level.
