Point on the road for Anvils

GRETNA 2008 began a run of six away league fixtures with a 2-2 draw against Berwick Rangers at Shielfield Park. Ben Scarborough opened the scoring for the hosts in the 11th minute before Dan Orsi fired home a leveller three minutes later. A Mark McConnell own goal handed the Anvils the lead before the break. However, former Gretna man Alfie Robinson popped up with a header in the 87th minute to salvage a point for The Borderers. Speaking after the match, Gretna manager Vinnie Parker said: "It was a huge point on the road, especially in the Lowland League where it's tough to travel away. "It was a battle, and I'm really proud of the boys. I thought they dug in and worked really hard."
