It wasn’t our day today.

What started as a promising morning — blue skies and a frost-free pitch — quickly turned as the heavens opened.

Gateshead were switched on from the first kick-off and made their early pressure count, finding space out wide and getting over the line. Berwick worked tirelessly in defence, putting in some big tackles and showing real grit. We pushed hard into Gateshead’s 22 on multiple occasions but just couldn’t quite convert the pressure into points.

With conditions worsening and the pitch deteriorating, the game was called early, the final score finishing 0–38 in Gateshead’s favour.

We’ll regroup and look forward to the return fixture — hopefully with brighter weather and a different result.
