Daily Record

Clydebank never looked like losing this game at Dalbeattie after they had contained Carlisle's fiery opening. In the opening minutes United were on target when first Ternent, then Sharp tested Madden with good drives.

Madden was the busier keeper at the start and it was all he could do to keep the eager Englishmen at bay.

In a Clydebank breakaway Munro had the ball in the net but was ruled off-side and after Carlisle had forced two fruitless corners, Munro nipped through to test McParland again.

O'Brien was the next Clydebank forward to produce a menacing touch. Rutherford forced a corner which O'Brien headed just over.

Bankies were now right on top and it was no surprise when Moore netted from a free kick on the half-hour. And the inside-right added another from close range four minutes later.

Clydebank kept up the pressure after the interval and Rutherford was almost on the target with a fierce shot.

Carlisle played it much too close and rarely looked like scoring, although Barton nearly deceived Madden with an oblique drive. But the English defence were glad to concede a corner as Rutherford threatened again.

Near the end United put on a belated burst. They forced two corners in quick succession, both of which were cleared by Madden. Then. In the closing seconds Carlisle twice hit the bar.
