Clydebank's deserved victory at Falkirk on Saturday gave them a passport to a home game with Hamilton in the second round and set the fans wondering if they could follow up on last season's good showing in the cup.
The Bankies were good in every department- playing it tight in defence, where they were particularly well served by Ruddy and Fallon, and fast on the break up front.
They blitzed the 'Shire goal from the word go, with Jimmy Caskie displaying his shooting talents. The wee man seemed to use these early efforts as firing practice.
For in the 13th minute he hit a cracker from 30 yards and Woods was in two minds as the ball crashed into the net.
East Stirlingshire came back into the game and kept McDonald and those outstanding centre-half twins, Dennis Ruddy and Jim Fallon busy.
Browning sent Miller clear in the 30th minute and he was left with only McDonald to beat. But the winger made a hash of things and the 'keeper blocked his shot.
Just on half-time Dougie Hay was booked after a tackle on Hamill, who seemed the only real danger man in the 'Shire eleven at this point.
Bankies found themselves defending again after the interval. Hamill sent over a cross which McDonald did well to punch over, with the bustling Donachie careering into the area.
Next came a puzzling pair of decisions from referee Pringle. Woods touched another Caskie sizzler round the post, and Mr. Pringle awarded a bye-kick to the 'Shire.
Minutes later, at the other end, McDonald saved a shot and again the result was a bye.
Mick McDonald's long kick-outs were providing problems for the few defenders left in the 'Shire half-and Kane and Caskie weren't helping them much.
As 'Shire redoubled their efforts - even Alan Munro was defending, and tackling very well-McDonald went down with what looked like a nasty injury, after punching clear a Hamill effort. But he managed to get up and push Hamill's second try round the post, before collapsing in a heap again.
Then he rose to clutch the corner. The clincher came in the 75th minute and it started from one of those kick-outs. Kane was left with only Simpson to share the 'Shire half of the park. He outfoxed the centre-half and raced towards goal.
His shot was in the goal before Woods had time to turn and watch the net bulge.
