Phew! What a game for goals! Between them both teams rattled in seven goals before half time. There was a slight delay in picking a Bankies team and the club had to wait for John Baxter who arrived five minutes before the game was due to start.
John is one of the players who has been given a free transfer by the club so this is his last game.
Bankies forged into the attack right from the whistle and soon had the East Stirlingshire defence in trouble. Fleming was the first to test the Shire's trialist keeper with a header which just scraped just over the bar.
John Baxter tried next and shot flew past the post, but it wasn't long before the Bankies hit pay dirt as Tony Moy scored via centre half Simpson after five minutes.
East Stirling replied almost immediately with a goal through Arthur Hamill, the ex-ES Clydebank player. The goals just flowed after this.
Jim Fleming put the Bankies back in the lead when he scored from a neat Tony Moy pass six yards from goal. Then, five minutes later Moy himself put the Bankies further ahead.
East Stirling had a hero in centre forward Donachie who scored a hat trick and almost certainly got the point for his club, and at £110 a point he proved to be a very valuable asset in this game.
Hamill put him on to a fine ball in 25 minutes when he scored with a great amount of ease through a shaky looking Ian Porter, on trial from Cambuslang Rangers.
Bankies were also quick to reply and Jim Fleming netted his second goal from another Tony Moy pass five minutes later.
East Stirling had the last word in the first half when Donachie scored with about three minutes to go before the break.
The play was entertaining enough though one had the feeling that if defences had been stronger then there would not have been so many goals because the play did not really warrant goals of the nature that were scored.
Davie Mitchell got Bankies last goal three minutes after the restart. It was a fitting way to round off a perfect season as he hasn't missed a game all season! Davie came roaring up the right wing just in time to collect a nice pass from Tony Moy and hitting the ball like an express train , the young keeper in the Shire goal could only follow the fans lead and watch.
The visitors had a junior trialist playing for them on the left wing and he scored in 75 minutes when the right back crashed over a fine cross and the youngster easily connected with it.
Donachie got the equaliser for the Shire ten minutes from time when Porter dropped the ball right at his feet.
Bankies should have won this but they relaxed towards the end and this eventually proved fatal and in fact considering the East Stirling pressure in the last ten minutes they were lucky not to lose the match altogether.
