Match Report

Queen's record of ten games without defeat was in danger until the final minute. Clydebank, sprightly and full of running, were prepared to take risks on the bone hard surface.

In contrast, Queens were too often caught in possession and the half-backs never reached normal form.

Bankies had a real inspiration in right-half Ruddy, who worked like a Trojan both in defence and attack. And yet it was he who robbed his side of an outright win.

Six minutes after the interval, he had the misfortune to divert a slanting drive by Jackson past his own 'keeper. 'Bankies had got off to a good start with a goal in 12 minutes by O'Brien, He beat Ball with a dipping shot from just inside the penalty box.

It was the old story with Queen's forwards. They had repeated chances prior to the interval, but over-anxiety proved their undoing.

Best for Queens were Watson and Collings in defence, but in the attack was consistent. Bankies had first-class service from their rear departments and Caskie was prominent up front.
