notes

GH describes the Wilsons as (1) and (2). Unfortunately, they only list 10 players for Fairfield. SR refers to “Aird and Wilson No2 make a good wing.” We therefore presume Aird to be our missing left winger.

Match Report

TTA report

Fairfield started much the better and were 2-up in 20 minutes. Their forwards were far better than Thistle's but their defence was very poor and once a mistake let Thistle in to reduce the lead they conceded another 3 without reply.
