There’s certainly potential to do much more, but we have our limitations with facilities, part-time players and people having other employment. Football might not be the biggest show in town as it used to be many years ago, so we have to work even harder to remind people of our presence and to ensure we get the backing of the community to keep senior football in Berwick.” The Future “The pyramid system is becoming stronger especially at Lowland League level. Many ex Junior Clubs such as *UNLIMITED TRAVEL -peasy It’s easy eezy squ s a m Christ Bonnyrigg Ross and Linthithgow to name but two are now in the East of Scotland Senior League, looking to progress to the Lowland League then into the SPFL. Kelty Hearts have already moved into the Lowland League this season and are challenging near the top so the level of competition is increasing. Our ambition over the coming years is to hopefully progress into League One.” Douglas from ‘Funky Foto’ said, “I have been a fan since I was eight and am very pleased with the way the club is playing. People don’t understand the work the Berwick players put in, nor do they understand how much training they do and how fit they actually are. Keep your heads up, keep grinding for results and see how you are sitting at the end of the season.” www.footballfocusmag.com 73
