notes

EY missing no.s 6 & 8. We've further removed #9 (John Marshall) as the PRG states that Thistle were “missing Hendry, Milliken, Paul and the brothers Marshall” Co-incidence? The 2nd XI were playing a cup-tie the same day (and won 11-0).

Match Report

TTA report

It was even in the first half with chances created at both ends. In the second half Thistle took the lead after some “capital play” (GH) but St Mirren equalised with a long shot that went in off the crossbar and they scored again just before the end. “St Mirren are pulling themselves together” (AN).
