Highlights:-

The conditions for the match were in complete contrast with the previous Saturday when the match against QOS was abandoned after 37 minutes due to the weather and the state of the pitch. Today saw a fine dry sunny February Saturday as the Lichties tried to get their third victory of the season over Tony Fitzpatrick's Clydebank. Colin McDonald opened the scoring for Arbroath after 31 minutes following a poor punch out by the visiting keeper. The visitors equalised in 38 minutes but Colin McDonald put us ahead again a minute later. Two minutes before half time the visitors equalised again.
In the second half Paul Brownlie put us ahead after 55 minutes and after being denied his hat trick by a good save, on loan striker Colin McDonald, managed to complete his hat trick in 74 minutes. Craig Wight produced some good saves at the other end to allow us to run out 4-2 winners despite not having one of our better performances.
