Russian Roulette in Hamilton

Clydebank 1st had a week off as the notoriously poor Paisley pitches failed to hold up to the midweek rain.  However, the 2nd XV travelled to Hamilton and recorded a narrow win under difficult circumstances.

Clydebank travelled to Oban for the preliminary round of the National Bowl Competition to play Oban Lorne for the second time in as many weeks.

This is always a hard fixture and a number of forced changes was making it no easier.  However, the team went about their business in the usual manner and ground out a good 13-15 victory that sees them progress to the next round.
