Match Report
Two needless fouls by East Stirling led to Clydebank's victory goals. Moy headed the visitors into the lead in the 40th minute, after Baxter had flighted a free kick high into the goalmouth.
And the Fir Parkers were sunk five minutes after the interval, when Fleming headed home from close in after a well placed Baxter free kick.
Clydebank were the team with the pace and punch, with Moy and Fleming their star men. Hamill and Mitchell were best for Shire. King was booked for a foul on Hulston in the 41st minute and Jones was carried off injured in the 71st minute, Jim Anderson substituted.
