Match Report


Clydebank turned on the style at New Kilbowie Park last night, dismantling a lacklustre Hamilton Accies 5-0 in a dominant display. The home side buzzed with energy throughout, while a sluggish Hamilton attack struggled to break through a resolute Bankies defence.

The onslaught began in the 10th minute with a goal from Munro, setting the tone for a one-sided affair. Hamilton attempted to respond, but their forwards were consistently thwarted by a well-organized Clydebank backline. The frustration mounted for the visitors as Fallon converted two penalties in quick succession, first in the 29th minute and then again just before halftime, putting the game firmly out of reach at 3-0.

The second half mirrored the first, with Clydebank dictating the pace. Caskie added his name to the scoresheet in the 72nd minute, further extending the lead. Munro capped off a fantastic performance with his second goal of the night in the 75th minute, sealing a comprehensive victory for the Bankies.

This emphatic win showcased Clydebank's attacking prowess and defensive solidity. Hamilton, on the other hand, will need to regroup and address their shortcomings on both ends of the pitch if they hope to compete in this division.
