Match Report

TTA report

Clyde were poor on the day, shaky in defence and weak in attack. Newall set up Cupples in lots of space for the opener (3) and Newall took his goal well as the Clyde defence dithered (33). They came more into it after half-time but were always 2nd best. In truth however it was a poor game with little to entertain the crowd.
