Arbroath won convincingly against a lack-lustre Clydebank side which had no forward punch. After a slow start, the home side came onto a strong game and never looked in danger.
Four up, Arbroath slackened off in the second half when their fans were expecting a rush of goals, but still retained the initiative.
Jack put Arbroath ahead when he scored from close range. Bruce made it two, seven minutes later, heading in after Pearson and Jack had done the spadework. Jack scored number three when he went through on his own and, finally, Bruce took on several defenders, including the keeper, and made it four.
Arbroath's Kennedy was booked for a foul on Jenkins. In the second half both teams used substitutes. Easton of Arbroath left the field with a leg injury and Welsh came on, while Henderson, a former Arbroath player replaced Baxter in the Clydebank side.
Clydebank manager Jack Steedman rated Scottish Youth International as the Bankies best player on the day, who had a great game at wing half.
Ayrton Inacio, the Brazilian who was signed earlier in the season, and now lives in Portugal is flying home this weekend. The club have let the player go for the weather does not suit him well as well as the conditions on the field.
Bankies could have a reserve keeper on the book this weekend. Cambuslang Rangers have a fine keeper in the form of Ian Ferguson and the lad was out for Bankies second team when they played Rangers 3rd team on Saturday and lost by five goals to one.
Ian was in goal against Queens Park in the Combined Reserve League on Wednesday and he will be signed if he performs well.
Good news for fans is that Ernie Collumbine should be back for the Berwick game, however Frank McAleer will be out for three weeks because of his knee injury. Centre Forward Eddie Moore has been filling in at Centre half. Jim Fleming and Eddie Rutherford emerged unscathed from the Arbroath game and should also be in the side on Saturday.
