After a shaky start where Noble Park United gain the upper hand with the opening goal, Berwick City showed plenty of fighting spirit as they ran away with the match with the next four goals. Two by the end of the first half and two in the second.

It was a much needed victory as the reigning Provisional League 1 South East leaders Berwick City lost three points away to Springvale City the previous week to give Templestowe Eagles a sniff of the league championship. The win over mid table Noble Park United was even the more valuable as Berwick City chases a place in the State League, something they have never achieved before.

Whilst been the losing team on the day Noble Park United still occupies sixth position and in unlikely to win promotion or be relegated at the end of the season.

The match that may determined the outcome of the league will be in two weeks time when Berwick City host Templestowe Eagles in a blockbuster at Jack Edwards Reserve. Berwick got the win away in round 6 and will want the double, but for Templestowe a win could see them take top position.
