The visit of first leaguers East File to Kilbowie Stadium, Clydebank, where they opposed second league Clydebank attracted a 4000 crowd.
East Fife fielded the same side that went down narrowly to Rangers last week, but Clydebank were minus Ruddy, who suffered suspension in mid-week and Jimmy Caskie, who has recently had a cartilage operation.
East Fife booked a strong easterly wind and made a bright start. From a free kick Hamilton tested McDonald and soon afterwards McLaren caused the keeper to effect a daring save from his shooting foot.
In Clydebank's reply Currie had Gorman out of his goal to clutch and clear a dangerous cross, Kane and McGhee were causing the Methil defence lots of anxiety but Martis gave Gorman good cover. In a clever Currie - Kane move McGhee flashed a fierce shot across the Fife goal.
Clydebank were showing cohesion and held outfield command against the visitors, and in a period of pressure Hay shot over at an open chance.
In the 19th minute Clydebank sensationally took the land. Gorman made an unforgettable error when failing to clear and KANE had the simple task to put the ball in the net to give the second leaguers a real lift.
East Fife were struggling to find a game and all the finer touches were coming from the Bankies. A running cross by McGhee caused further danger to the Fife defence and Kane's header had direction but lacked power to trouble Gorman.
From a McPhee cross Hughes shot was blocked on the goal line and Mitchell played for safety by conceding a corner In the 42nd minute East Fife equalised. Currie was short with a passback. MacDonald came out to challenge but was beaten by McPHEE who sent the ball from 20 yards Into the vacated goal .
Gorman, the Fife keeper was injured following clash with Munro but quickly recovered
Play was keen but overall the home side was showing better skill and East Fife were struggling.
