This draw ended Alloa's run of five defeats. But honours of the day went to Clydebank's Frank Russell who had an inspired 90 minutes. In fact, the second half was something of a duel between Russell and Adam Hodge, who played the game of his life in the home goal.
Bankies certainly earned a point, though they, like Alloa, rarely served up good combined play, Smith, Brown, Marshall, Brennan, and Hodge deserve special mention for Alloa, and MacLachlan, Less, Gray, and, of course, Russell for the visitors.
Alloa started off well, and MacLachlan had two good saves. But he was beaten in 21 minutes when Brennan carried the ball downfield, beat Small, and blasted a shot low into the net.
After the interval all the pressure came from Clydebank. Hodge saved Alloa time after time, but with three minutes to go Russell finally got the equaliser.
This was a good result for the Bankies considering they were missing three regular players and man of the match Frank Russell was playing at outside left for the day. The Bankies also fielded two Junior trialists in the shape of Walter Lees and Centre forward Slaven, both of St Rochs.
The missing players for the Bankies were Tommy McGhee and Willie McCallum who were both under a seven day suspension and Ernie Collumbine who has a leg injury.
