Berwick, celebrating the 50th anniversary of beating Rangers in the Scottish Cup, had the early chances and, in 11 minutes, a shot from Steven Thomson was cleared off the home line.

The Gable Endies went close in 29 minutes when a header from Greg Pascazio went just wide.

Berwick took the lead in 51 minutes when a shot from Michael McKenna found its way through a crowded goalmouth and into the net.

Montrose threw men forward and equalised in 61 minutes. Terry Masson swung in a corner and Chris Templeman rose to head home.

The home side went in front in 69 minutes. Brian Martin was short with a passback and Ryan Ferguson ran in to score.

FORFAR 3 COWDENBEATH 1

FORFAR’S David Cox had a chance to put the home side ahead in the 11th minute but dragged his shot wide.

The visitors took the lead in the 16th minute when Dale Carrick powered a close-range header into the Forfar net.

There was a 15-minute delay to the start of the second half after referee Colin Steven picked up a calf strain and was unable to continue.

The game turned in the space of 60 seconds on the 53-minute mark as Forfar keeper Grant Adam made a point-blank stop to deny Carrick. Forfar broke upfield and Josh Peters hit a cross that soared over the head of keeper David McGurn for the equaliser.

As conditions worsened in the snow, Forfar took the lead in the 69th minute. A Lewis Milne corner was met at the far post by Tam O’Brien and his header arched into the opposite corner.

Milne himself then put some distance between the sides in the 77th minute with a scorching drive from 25 yards which seemed to fly through the hands of the goalkeeper.
