2013 - Glas Perthshire 2-5 Clydebank | Sectional League Cup (Group 6)

Clydebank qualified for the quarter final of the Sectional League Cup with a comfortable 5-2 win over Glasgow Perthshire.The Bankies ran Perthshire ragged in the first half racing into a two goal lead through McElroy and Burns.A bout of complacency can only explain the dreadful start to the second half as Perthshire drew level, and almost snatched the lead at one point.However, substitutes Jamie Campbell and Joe Andrew steadied the ship, with the latter restoring the lead...

1971 - Berwick Rangers 2-2 Clydebank | League Cup (Group 5)

Dave Hogg was the Rangers' hero. He created the opening for the first goal and cracked home a great 20-yarder. Then he swung over a perfect cross which enabled Harry Melrose to hit a fine equaliser after peter Kane had scored just before and after the interval for the Bankies.Hogg's first goal was a worthy first of the season. He moved through to take a return pass from Jimmy Crease and hit the ball along the ground from about 20 yards beyond McDonald.The Bankies goals were both...

2021 - Clydebank 2-2 Irvine Meadow | League (WoSFL Premier)

Nicky Little’s stunning free kick in the 5th minute of stoppage time was not only his 100th goal for the club (and what a way to get it), but also rescued a point against Irvine Meadow that they scarcely deserved. The Ayrshire side battled back from a goal down at half time to lead 2-1 and looked on course to take all three points until the late equaliser in a game that boiled over near the end leading to three red cards in the technical areas.Matt Niven was missing due to his face knock...

2010 - Yoker Athletic 2-1 Clydebank | Sectional League Cup

A horror show second half display by Clydebank gifted local rivals Yoker Athletic all three points as they went down by two goals to one in this crucial league cup match. It means that the “hoodoo” continues as the Bankies have now failed to win at Holm Park against their landlords in all eight fixtures since 2003. More seriously, this defeat has all but ended Clydebank’s interest in the sectional league cup. Only victory by four clear goals against Ashfield on Wednesday will give the club passa...

1965 - East Fife Res 1-0 Clydebank | League (Combined Reserve League - 1st Series)

Clydebank's brand new senior team gave their first opponents of the season a very hard and brisk 90 minutes. Bankies downfall was caused by the forwards inability to place the ball in the net.Some excellent manoeuvres by the players were keenly appreciated by the small crowd of supporters but on every raid they made, Bankies were ruined by poor finishing. The forwards did everything except convert their countless attempts.On other occasions careless passing and bad individual pla...
