Match Preview : Berwick Rangers v Peterhead – Ladbrokes League Two

Following Saturday’s postponement the ‘Gers return to Shielfield Park on Tuesday 19th March for a swiftly rearranged home match against title chasing Peterhead FC.

This Ladbrokes League Two encounter kicks-off at 7.45pm. Jim McInally and his table toppers arrive in Berwick on the back of 6 consecutive wins, which have stabilised their place at the top of the table.

Johnny Harvey and the boys will be looking to keep the gap as it is at the bottom.
