notes

OH/HA/SR list a 1-1 draw here, although GH/DC state that Thistle won 1-0, the former carrying a decent report too. The GEP initially reported a 1-0 win for Thistle, but ran a correction in their Monday edition (28/11/1892 p.6) saying that it was actually 1-1 after all. That correction would seem to be definitive, so we therefore settle on the 1-1 draw.

Match Report

TTA report

There was nothing between the teams on a pitch more suited to water polo. Chances were made (gingerly) but the goalkeepers were in fine form. Thistle trailed at half-time but Paul took a pass from Stewart to level soon after the restart. With players hidden by the spray and dancing around puddles, only 2 x 30 minutes were played.

Media report

Source not recorded

Played on Mossfield Park. The home team, losing the toss, kicked off, and at once made tracks for the Thistle end but were brought up by the opposing halves befor they could become dangerous. Half-time sounded without either of the teams having scored. On resuming, the Thistle at once took up the running. White and Gilchrist cleverly bringing play into the home end. McFarlane however, cleared his lines. A foul against the Thistle gave the home team a chance, but Hodge interposed. A minute later Paul scored from a pass by Stewart. The home team again brought play up to the other end, and Allan shot past. The game from this up till the finish was pretty evenly contested. Result:- Partick Thistle, 1 goal; Battlefield 0 goals.
