Dave Hewitt, the Stirling Bruce captain provided this summary of the match:
A hard-fought match ended in a fairly comfortable win for the visiting team, who reached the necessary score with a round to spare.
From a Stirling point of view, Leo - from Barcelona - had an excellent allegro league debut and looks like being quite a force in the Central League during the four years he'll be a student here. Isaac again showed his fondness for spending lengthy periods at the end of games living on the increment and doing it well. Kenny continued his recent good form. For Grangemouth, John and Alan were solid and reliable as ever, and Joe and Sean are getting stronger all the while and will certainly score better than this in matches to come.
