There then followed some Berwick pressure as they tried to find a leveller, with Steven Thomson and Jack Hamilton going close for the visitors, but it was the home side who struck next in 35 minutes when Harrison Paton had the Ochilview fans on their feet as he struck the ball past Robby McCrorie.

And Stenny made the most of the man advantage in the 69th minute when Alan Cook blasted home from the left of the box to put the result beyond doubt.
