Clyde 1 v 4 Dunfermline

Clyde’s 2007 Challenge Cup campaign came to an end at Broadwood tonight. Both managers agreed that the scoreline was not a fair reflection of the pattern of the game but The Bully Wee were punished for not taking their chances by a clinical Pars team.

Several opportunities to take the lead were spurned before Mark Burchill neatly finished off a breakaway move to put Dunfermline ahead.

Ruari MacLennan equalised just after half-time but three second half goals ensured the visitors passage into the Quarter-Finals that will allow Dunfermline Captain Scott Wilson to continue his dream of winning another medal.

Joe Cardle and Kevin Bradley both hit the post, with Imrie, David McGowan and McGregor also missing clear cut chances as Clyde’s young team were given a lesson in finishing.
