Match Report


Last night's display suggests that Forfar have notably elevated their game.

Although Clydebank took the lead in the 11th minute, courtesy of Cummings, who deftly netted from close range, Forfar swiftly responded within two minutes with a skillfully swerved equaliser.

Archie Knox executed a first-timer from a considerable 20 yards, sending the ball into the roof of the net.

While Clydebank exhibited a well-disciplined approach, it was apparent that Forfar should have been in the lead at half-time.

The narrative continued into the second half, with Forfar consistently pressing, while the visitors maintained a dangerous presence during their breakaways.

Following numerous close calls at the Clydebank end, Forfar reaped their deserved reward when right winger Wyles rose above the defence to head home the winning goal in the 60th minute.

Forfar's defensive stalwarts Fyfe and Malcolm served admirably, and in the forward line, Potter, Buchan, and Park excelled.

Clydebank boasted a formidable keeper in Wilson, and Cummings consistently posed a troublesome threat in the forward positions.
