Clydebank v.
Maryhill

1 - 0
29th July 2009
A Gary Lynn penalty
midway through the second half
was enough to give Clydebank
three points in a strangely
tepid and tentative encounter,
more reminiscent of a
meaningless end of the the
season affair, than the opening
game of a new season.
The first incident of
note was a yellow card for new
Bankies signing Stevie Dallas,
which provoked
predictable displeasure from
certain sections of the
vociferous, but always
entertaining home support.
Maryhill appeared to have taken
the lead three minutes later
when Brian Miller finished off a
good move involving Ryan Scobie
and Michael Tolland, but the
enclosure side assistant
correctly indicated that Miller
had been in an offside position.
The first real chance for
Clydebank fell to another new
recruit, but Steven Dymock
miskicked around 12 yards from
goal. A powerful 20 yard effort
from Nikky Cairney was well
held by new Hill keeper Mark
Wilson, and was the only other
goal attempt worthy of the
description in an even, but
unispiring first half.
Half Time - Clydebank
0 Maryhill 0
The second period saw
the home side dominate without
seriously threatening a
refreshingly sound looking
Maryhill defence, in which new
boys John Cunningham and Martin
McGoldrick looked like they have
the makings of a solid
partnership. The only goal of
the game arrived in the 63rd
minute from the penalty spot.
Stevie Dymock's strong run into
the penalty area was halted when
he was brought down by Mark
Wilson. It was a clear penalty,
although the striker did appear
to handle the ball before being
fouled. Gary Lynn's well struck
spot kick gave Clydebank the
lead which they held until the
end.
