Match Report

TTA report

Spence had a magnificent save in the 1st minute. Clyde scored 2 scrappy goals from scrambles. Lindsay pulled 1 back but it was 3-1 at half-time. Clyde made it 4-1 then Alan scored but Clyde made it 5-2. 2 late goals from McDiarmid and Lindsay put a better complexion on things. Defences were certainly not on top.
