Bonnyrigg Rose boss hails players for 'heart and character' in tale of two penalties


Rose goalkeeper Mark Weir saved a penalty before Lewis Turner smashed in a spot kick in off the bar at the other end to earn Bonnyrigg a hard-fought victory.
They were put under pressure by an Arthurlie team flying at the top of the West of Scotland League First Division. But Rose ended their two club records of 22 consecutive wins and 30 games undefeated.

Rose will face Dundonald Bluebell or Tranent in the quarter-finals. They can wrap up the Lowland League title with a win at Berwick Rangers on Saturday.
