TTA report

Clyde had the better of the few chances on offer in the first half and their best chance saw the ball blasted over from close in. Dodds cashed in on a defensive blunder and scored the only goal (51). Kelly hit the bar and missed an open goal later on. The win was more comfortable than the score suggested.
