notes

The SC reports that “in the first half Edinburgh rules were in force, which allowed the ball to be thrown in any direction”. Bizarrely, the DRV credits the St Bernard's centre-forward (Wilson) with both Thistle goals. Thankfully, the SC clears the matter up, with John Young [i] being the reported scorer for both.

Match Report

TTA report

Thistle's first-ever visit to Edinburgh on this holiday Thursday, taking in the delights of the adjoining Royal Patent Gymnasium. Unfortunately they played like tourists despite Young giving them the lead (10). The same player made it 2-2 shortly after half-time, but the home side controlled the second half for a comfortable win.
