Match Report


A good result for Bankies considering this was an away game and they were without three regulars.

Man of the match was Frank Russell who was playing at outside-left for the day and scored Bankies equaliser with only three minutes to go.

Bankies fielded two junior trialists, centre half Lees and centre half Slavin, both from St Rochs.

Out of the team were Tommy McGhee and Willie McCallum who were both under seven days suspension and Ernie Collumbine, who has a leg injury.

Alloa, who are a tough team to beat under any circumstances, opened the scoring through their inside right Brennan in 21 minutes. The inside man had a neat run downfield, beat Graham Small and thundered a low shot into the net.

Frank Russell had a field day; he blasted the Alloa goal incessantly and, but for keeper Adam Hodge, Bankies might have had a barrowload.

Frank finally beat the keeper in the 87th minute with a fine shot.
