Matches Played on August 26th

2023 - Clydebank 5-2 Cumnock | League (WoSFL Premier)

It seems like a bit of a cheek to have any kind of complaint when you have just watched your team win 5-2 against decent opposition – a result that most supporters would have taken in a second before a ball was kicked. But, it feels like a little bit of a missed opportunity when the Bankies were four up at the interval with Cumnock down to ten men.The needless red card for Creag Little and his prior error which led to a penalty meant that any chance the Bankies had of running up a big sc...

2017 - Kilwinning Rgrs 4-2 Clydebank | League (Super Premier Division)

Ten minutes into the second half, Ross Forsyth powered a header into the back of the net to put the Bankies 2-1 in front after being a goal down early on. At this point I thought we were going to go on to win the match, but the last quarter turned into an utter disaster as Kilwinning scored two quick goals which the Bankies never recovered from. A fourth at the death just rubbed salt in the wounds.Kilwinning had the better of the early part of the game, and scored with their first real c...

1981 - Clydebank 1-0 Clyde | League Cup (Group 7)

Bankies snatched victory with a late goal which at least denies them the doubtful honour of the Section 7 wooden spoon.And it was fitting that, in a game where few players looked capable of scoring, little Gerry Ronald should have been the man to break the deadlock, for the Clydebank winger was the best player afield and had come close on several occasions.The first half belonged almost entirely to the Bankies, with Clyde's only efforts of note coming from outside right O'Neill w...

1967 - Clydebank 3-0 Kirkintilloch Rob Roy | Friendly

Clydebank PressBankies Brazilian guest Ayrton Inacio made a good impression with fans on the New Kilbowie turf in this game, so much so, that, Jack Steedman has decided to go ahead and negotiate with the players club, Stade de Paris, for his transfer. He is listed at a fee of £1000.Inacio was fielded at centre forward and although he didn't score, the former Celtic trialist harried and harassed the Rabs defence no end and showed some brilliant touches. If Bankies can...

1905 - Clydebank Juniors 3-0 Vale of Clyde | League (Glasgow Junior League)

After their defeat by Benburb last week, Clydebank Juniors were this week pitted against Vale of Clyde, and the Tollcross contingent came down to the shipbuilding burgh in full anticipation of a complete walk over. The walk over was there all right, but it was the other way about. Right away from the start the home team showed their superiority, both in combination, smart forward play and by clever defending The result was that thes Vale scarcely had a look in at all, and only on rare oc...
