Matches Played on August 19th

2025 - Clydebank 2-1 Stirling Uni | League (Lowland League)

Anyone who thought the Lowland League was going to be a walk in the park will have to reassess quickly. The Bankies may have recorded another win tonight over Stirling University, but we aren’t half being made to work hard for it – and we haven’t even faced any of the genuine title contenders yet.Stirling proved to be another well-drilled outfit, solid at the back and dangerous going forward. It took a huge slice of fortune to secure the points, with Alex Jeanes turning a vicious low cro...

2023 - Auchinleck Talbot 0-1 Clydebank | League (WoSFL Premier)

Any aura that surrounded Auchinleck Talbot over the past few years was well and truly blown away by the Bankies at Beechwood Park today. The scoreline may only read 1-0 but had it ended up three or four then no one could have complained.The loss of several of Talbot’s big name players in the summer has been very difficult for Tommy Sloan to replace and on the evidence of their early results they could be in for a long, hard season. The emergence of Darvel, the resurgence of Beith Jrs, an...

2017 - Glenafton Ath 1-0 Clydebank | League (Super Premier Division)

The Bankies were extremely unfortunate to come away from Loch Park with nothing to show for their efforts, as a number of missed chances cost them at least a point which their play deserved. Glenafton, by and large, were disappointing and my fears of a hiding were truly dismissed.After a start to the season that has not been particularly inspiring, the thought of a visit to the league and cup winners of last season was making me feel rather uneasy. However, it was good to see McAnespie t...

1981 - Berwick Rangers 3-1 Clydebank | League Cup (Group 7)

Bankies collapsed against a strong Berwick attack, expertly spearheaded by two-goal Peter Davidson.Davidson took just 12 minutes to put the Borderers on the score-sheet, ghosting in to slot a Given pass-back past keeper Gallacher.Forty-five minutes later Berwick reinforced their lead when Mickey Lawson took on three defenders before scoring from a narrow angle.Blair Millar gave Bankies a little hope eight minutes from the end when he pulled one back for the Kilbowie men....

1972 - St Mirren 4-2 Clydebank | League Cup (Group 3)

Clydebank PressAfter the previous Wednesday's win over First Division Ayr United at Kilbowie the Bankies must have travelled to Paisley for this match with more than their fair share of confidence. And when they went two goals up on the Buddies this confidence must have reached dizzy heights.But at twenty minutes to five on Saturday afternoon this confidence had been shattered, demolished, eradicated, etc., etc. For an amazing fight-back by St Mirren saw them equa...

1970 - Clydebank 5-1 Albion Rovers | League Cup (Group 8)

Clydebank PressA super-fit Clydebank team took the Rovers apart at Kilbowie on Wednesday night to maintain their promising form for this season.The Coatbridge team were even given a goal start in five minutes, when Green netted through a thin-looking rear-guard from a short corner.But in 18 minutes the backmarkers began to pull back.As the ball bobbed about, finally landing at Jimmy Caskie's feet, the wee man took all the time he could to size up the s...

1967 - Clydebank 2-1 Stenhousemuir | League Cup (Group 9)

Clydebank PressA crowd of around 2000 watched the Bankies forge ahead in their section of the Scottish League Cup competition when they beat Stenhousemuir 2-1 at Kilbowie Park.Man of the day was Tony Moy who scored Clydebank's winner, but the rest of the team put up an extremely good show, especially in the second half, when they forced the visiting team into defence, seldom allowing them to come forward into attack.Stenhousemuir kicked off on an almost perfec...

1905 - Clydebank Juniors 1-2 Benburb | League (Glasgow Junior League)

The visit of the Bens to Clydebank proved a big draw, and the game was full of interest from start to finish. A sensational start was made, as the visitors at once settled down and scored a couple of goals in the first five minutes. This had the effect of rousing the Bankies, who tried all their arts to beat Monteith and Logan, but this clever pair withstood the attack, and at half-time the Govandale side still led by 2 to 1. A fierce struggle took place in the second half. The C...
