Media report

11-Sep-2001, bbc.com

Two goals in the opening 17 minutes put First Division Partick on their way to victory over Berwick Rangers in the CIS Insurance Cup. A lapse in concentration by the home side allowed Danny Lennon to score after seven minutes. Scott McLean headed a tremendous second from a Richard Huxford cross after 17 minutes. Berwick fought back well and goalkeeper David Klein made a crucial save from Gary Wood. On the stroke of half-time, Berwick's Martin Neil was sent off for elbowing Jamie Dolan. This ended the game as a contest, and ex-Berwick youth player Murray McDowell added a third.
