Match Report

TTA report

“The Thistle hemmed them in during the whole game“ (GH). On a sodden pitch Ewing scored inside 3 minutes and goals by Paterson and Beaton gave them a comfortable half-time lead. Ewing and Robertson scored three goals between them after half-time but reports don't say who got two. Shire's keeper had a fine game despite the score.
