Match Report

Arbroath Herald

Arbroath got off to a good start in the League programme proper on Wednesday night, when they beat Clydebank, the new member of the Second Division, at Kilbowie Park.

It was a hard-contested game, but Arbroath had just the edge to bring back both points

Every member of the Maroons' team pulled his weight. It was the same selection which drew with Morton on Saturday, with the exception that Jim Riddle took over at left-back from Tom Hughes, who has an ankle injury.

It was particularly pleasing to the attack, after failing to find the net in their last two games, again amongst the goals. Their forays gave the Clydebank defence no end of trouble.

After only 12 minutes a deflected shot from Jack was collected by his left-hand man, Cant, who put Arbroath ahead.

Clydebank's 4-2-4 manoeuvres looked promising, but they just could not get the ball past Williamson, who gave an excellent performance in goal.

Just before half-time a free-kick awarded to Clydebank only two feet outside the visitors' penalty box seemed a promising opportunity to equalise, but McCallum's shot hit the crossbar and went over.

On the restart Clydebank tried desperately to produce goals. All their strength went up front, but still their countless moves crumpled under the hands of 'keeper Williamson.

Then Arbroath scored twice in two minutes. Goal No. 2 came after 63 minutes when a Jack cross gave Cant an opening, and he and calmly netted.

Goal No. 3 came two minutes later, this time from Cargill, who headed the ball into the net from close range.
