Match Report

TTA report

4th round bye. Thistle insisted the match be played at The Oval to increase the gate (1/- for the ground). Even then, receipts didn't cover the cost of the trip. Defences were largely on top and there was only one goal in it and the home team scored towards the end. “Partick defended admirably” (MC).
