Match Report
Clydebank won with lots to spare. Their quick build-up and accurate passing kept the Accies defence at full stretch.
Although Munro was inclined to hold the ball too long when his mates were in open position he deserves credit for a well taken goal, when he jumped high to beat the Accies defence to a Hay free kick. McGunnigle got the second eight minutes from the end.
By comparison, Accies were too deliberate and, although the Clydebank defence made a few errors, Hamilton lacked the guile and determination to take advantage.
Halpin and Gaughan played well for Accies, whilst Mitchell, McGunnigle, Love, McGhee, and Caskie stood out for a sound Clydebank side.
