Match Report
Clydebank Press
With Brechin City now in the quarter finals of the cup, neither team on Saturday had anything to gain; however the way both teams played one would have thought they were heading for the final.
The game was a most entertaining one and a draw would have been a fairer result. Clydebank's win nevertheless will give encouragement to the fans.
What Bankies lack in experience they certainly gain in enthusiasm and speed. Towards the end of the game the began to lose steam and the experience of the Larbert side began to tell. In fact, at the end of it all, Bankies were very lucky to come out winners.
Bankies again used the 4-2-4 and it is becoming obvious that it is just not working, although they won. The team however is young and experience will tell.
Man of the match was definitely visitors centre forward Black who scored his team's two goals and harried the Bankies defence every opportunity he got.
The first goal of the match came in 19 minutes when Tony Moy netted with a brilliant header off a Tommy McGhee cross.
Three minutes later Black got his team's first goal when collected the ball from Ernie Collumbine off Clydebank, when the latter made a mistake in clearing, completely mis-kicking the ball.
Bankies took the lead at half time when right winger McGill scored with a powerful shot in 29 minutes.
The second half started quite well for Bankies and the visitors defence soon found themselves being sorely tested.
This period of dominance was short lived when Black scored in 58 minutes with a coll piece of football.
He was able to score wen Collumbine mis-judged a pass back to keeper Wilson. Black intercepted the ball, and coolly walked round the homesters keeper and prodded the ball into the net.
Play now went from end to end with both teams trying to find an opening. The play was quite open but the Bankies having four or five men in defence, panic occasionally set in, as there was no real communication between keeper and defenders.
Bankies settled the issue in 70 minutes when Donald McDonald race down the left wing, cross the ball over to see it being fumbled on the line by keeper Cunningham, allowing John Cummings to net easily.
This was an unfortunate incident for Cunningham, as he had been playing quite well up until then.
