Match Report

A three-goal blitz in a fast and furious second half saw the Bankies return home with two vital points under their belts.

Clydebank started cautiously, as if to examine in depth the strong and weak points of the Dumfries men.

Gradually, they began to dominate proceedings, and it was no real surprise to the 1,400 fans when Hall opened the scoring on the rebound from an Abel thunderbolt

Bankies had several chances to increase their slender lead before the turn-around but some stout defensive work kept the eager strikers at bay.

Clydebank got a shock in the 51st minute when Dickson equalised against the run of play.

Four minutes later the visitors' lead was restored-thanks to Queen's man Boyd, who miskicked a clearance into his own net.

Then drama; Clydebank were awarded two penalties in a remarkable final 10 minutes. Cool as a cucumber, Billy McColl scored from both with the minimum of fuss.

Lumsden and Abel were booked along with home men Dickson and McLaren.

Clydebank can now look forward to Saturday's game against Alloa with a certain degree of confidence.
