Montrose came from behind to earn their first point of the season at home to Berwick, but manager Stuart Garden firmly believes it should have been three.
Montrose had a scare in 18 minutes when Darren Lavery got in a header which clipped the bar. The home side then settled and dominated the remainder of the first half.
Paul Watson sent a shot just over the bar from 35 yards, then in 39 minutes, the woodwork denied Montrose when a side-foot effort from Terry Masson came back off the post.
In the closing minutes of the half, Ricky McIntosh and Graham Webster both had shots saved by Berwick keeper Paul Grant.
In a scrappy second half, punctuated by a series of bookings, Berwick took the lead in 68 minutes when Lavery headed home a Lee Currie corner.
Montrose grabbed an equaliser, which they fully deserved, in 84 minutes. Some fine passing carved open the Berwick defence and a cross from Lloyd Young was bulleted home by the head of Watson.
Montrose pressed to the final whistle, and in the third minute of added time Young headed a corner goalwards and a header from Stephen McNally struck the bar.
Garden said: “That is our first point on the board and it should have been more as we did more than enough to win the game. Both teams had chances to win it.
“Our goal was a great bit of football, a great cross from Lloyd and a great header from Paul Watson. I am disappointed not to take three points, but it is a start.”
