The OH (by process of elimination) credits Willie Paul with Thistle's fifth goal, but the GEP describes it as resulting from a scrimmage. We stick with the OH in the meantime.

Match Report

TTA report

Suter made it 1-0 then McLucas set up Johnston to double the lead. He returned the compliment for McLucas for a 3rd. It was end to end stuff and 3-1 by half-time. Dithering defence led to a goal but a fine header by McLucas made it 4-2, a scramble 4-3, Paul scored twice then Battlefield got their 4th very late on.
