Berwick Reserves 0-4 Leith Athletic

Went to, well actually done the gate and sold the programmes, at our reserves first home game last night. A lovely night for football with Shielfield bathed in sun and not a bad turnout, including a number from Edinburgh, I counted 74 in total. Jimmy Crease was present and three first teamers played, unfortunately our lads were a bit outclassed by a useful Leith outfit and it proved to be something of a steep learning curve. However this was their first full outing and it must be remembered that unlike any other team in the East of Scotland League we are not results dependant. For this team to be successful and prove it's worth more than wins are important. However on what I saw our number 9 last night stood out a wee bit for me. They don't have a game this weekend so have a break to work on what happened last night.
