Dumbarton 1
Clydebank 0
League Cup (Group 7)

Match Report

The local derby between the joint-leaders of Section 7 was a bit of a let-down. Defences dominated, and flashes of good football were few and far between.

Clydebank began enterprisingly but faded rapidly from the 15th minute, when Dumbarton took the lead against the run of play. Thereafter the link between their defence and attack was non-existent, and the forwards floundered around without a leader.

Dumbarton were little better up front and Jenkins completed a dismal day for forwards in general by missing a penalty just before the end.

The good players were all defenders, with Muir, McGhee, and Ferguson outstanding for Dumbarton, and Ruddy, Fallon, and Hay passing muster for Clydebank.
