GABLE ENDIES WIN TO MOVE CLOSE TO TITLE

MONTROSE took another massive step to securing the League Two title and automatic promotion with Saturday’s narrow 1-0 win over Berwick Rangers.

Montrose had taken the lead in just the 10th minute after a superb run and low cross from Andrew Steeves found big Chris Templeman for the easiest of tap-ins.

It looked like the Gable Endies would go on to secure a comfor table victory but shortly before the half-hour mark, See went down under a challenge from the home side’s Terry Masson.

It became immediately clear t hat t he Berwick player had suffered a serious injury as physios from both teams rushed to his side.

The game was then put on hold as an ambulance travelled to Links Park.

It has now been confirmed he has a broken leg and a dislocated ankle and is obviously facing a long time out.

When the game restarted, it was apparent the upsetting i ncident and the lengthy stoppage had affected both teams but when the final whistle was finally blown, Montrose were still top of the table, three points ahead of Peterhead with j ust two games to play.
