Match Report
Daily Record
Clydebank left-winger Caskie opened the scoring in minutes when he thumped a Rutherford cross first time into the back of the rigging.A Munro-Hawkshaw move gave Caskie a sight of the goal from the same angle 10 minutes later but Wylie saved. The wee winger was through on his own in half an hour but Kinnell brought him down.
Jackie Woods made his debut for Clydebank when he substituted for injured right-back Brocket six minutes from time.
In the last minute Cowdenbeath were given a chance, and they took it. Right-half Thomson lobbed a free-kick from the edge of the box over the home defence and the ball sailed into the net.
