In a dramatic National Shield Final seeing the teams play 20 minutes of extra time after a 35-35 draw, Berwick scored 46 unanswered points to celebrate their 50th anniversary in style and claim victory at BT Murrayfield.
At full time captain Tom Jackson said, “We knew Greenock would bring a strong game upfront which we tried to absorb early on, but I’m so proud of these boys. We’ve got it in the tank and managed to claw it back at full time.
“I thought we came out the block during extra time and credit to our bench. We had a good mixture of youth and experience and it was some heat out there in the sun, I’m over the moon and lost for words.”
