Match Report
Clydebank reached the final of the Stirlingshire Cup when they outgunned a plucky East Stirling side at Kilbowie on Wednesday.
Due to a combination of poor finishing and heroics by visiting keeper Morrison, Bankies were kept at bay until the 44th minute when Callaghan pounced on a defensive mix-up to prod the ball home.
The home side had all the play in the second half and could easily have reached double figures. However, only three more goals were scored. McLauchlan, who came on as substitute for McColl got one in the 80th minute and Mike Larnach seized a glorious double in the final seconds.
This win sets up Bankies nicely for tomorrow's tricky Scottish Cup match at Cowdenbeath.
Should Bankies win, and I think they will without much trouble, they play host to Border non-league side Selkirk in the next round.
