Match Report

Thirds deservedly clinched the win, dominating most of the play, with only stellar goalkeeping preventing a wider goal margin. Clydebank struggled to assert themselves offensively, heavily relying on Russell and Moy. However, with Russell not at his best, their attack failed to ignite.

Thirds began the game with vigour, as outside right Rundell unleashed a point-blank drive, which MacLachlan adeptly saved. Shortly after, Thirds' centre unleashed a 25-yarder, narrowly sailing over the bar.

Keeper Coates exhibited skill by diverting a Moy header around the post. The winning goal, a straightforward affair, arrived twenty minutes into the second half. A Henderson corner found its way to the far post, where outside right Rundell squared the ball for Kinnaird to tap it home.

Despite valiant efforts by McLaughlin and Busby, Thirds failed to extend their lead. Bankies received commendable performances from McLaughlin and the Junior trialist at centre-half, while Connell and Busby shone for Thirds.

During the match, Tommy McGhee sustained an injury and was substituted by Walter Gerard.
