Twenty minutes later they scored their second, Jamie Fyfe netting after Niall Frampton’s initial save wasn’t cleared, with some of the Rangers defence waiting for an offside decision.

Regan Graham had the visitors’ first shot, after good work by Drew Cummings and Michael Robinson, his effort going wide.

Then Jack Cummings put a shot over the bar after a pass from his brother, Drew and, as Rangers continued to look for a goal, the ball was handled in the box.

Drew Cummings scored the penalty to reduce the deficit.

In a repeat of the first half, three minutes into the second half, Newburgh scored, skipper Andrew Cameron heading over the line to restore his side’s two-goal advantage.

Both teams then had chances to add to their tally, Drew Cummings missing for Rangers after being set up by a pass from Craig Bell after good work by Jack Forster, Newburgh’s Lewis Stevenson was also off target following a corner kick.

The game's fifth goal came on 56 minutes when Robinson finished a move started by Graham.

Rangers then drew level when Drew Cummings kept up his 100 per cent record from the penalty spot this season after Jay Atkinson was brought down.

In a complete turn around, Tweedmouth took the lead after the referee played good advantage when Forster played on despite being fouled, the ball finally finding its way to Graham, who scored his sixth goal in five matches.

In total, Tweedmouth Rangers scored 73 goals in competitive matches and finished the season in eighth place in the East of Scotland Second Division.
