Match Report
Daily Record
After only three minutes Clydebank centre Alan Munro sent in a shot which Cowden's trialist 'keeper fumbled and let slip over the line.Munro made it 2-0 20 minutes later, when he lobbed the ball over the advancing 'keeper.
Inside-left Bostock was the only dangerous Cowdenbeath forward. He had a powerful drive brilliantly saved by 'keeper Madden and near the interval he hit the upright with another rocket.
Clydebank went further ahead five minutes after half-time. As the home defence hesitated Inside-left Ian Hawkshaw nipped In to score.
Cowdenbeath pulled one back in 58 minutes through Bostock. Seven minutes later Cowden centre Taylor made it 3-2 and in 71 minutes Bostock equalised from a pass by inside-right Jim Taylor.
Both teams went all out until the final whistle and a draw was a fair result.
