notes

The GH lists the otherwise unhead of “Ure” for Thistle, most likely to be a mis-heard “Ewing”, our regular forward player of the day. AN credits Robert Christie with QP's second, but we stick with William Harrower as per GH, the supplier of our teamlines.

Match Report

TTA report

The playing surface was in a “deplorable state” (GH). Queens (who had asked for a postponement) scored with a header in the early minutes. A goalmouth scramble brought the 2nd and a good shot before half-time made it 3-0. Thistle tried hard but Queens were too good and they scored a 4th towards the end.
