The East Lothian side took advantage of other matches being off to post their 12th victory of the season. Back-row Ben Inglis scored a try before going off injured and his replacement Danny Thorburn got the other try.

Stand-off Grant Craig kicked the other eight points for North Berwick in windy conditions. They are now nine points clear of second-place Portobello, who have two matches in hand.

In National One, Livingston lost 25-11 at Whitecraigs.
