The Thistle Archive

At Logie Green the St Bernard's inflicted a heavy defeat of seven goals to nil on the Partick Thistle, the match being the retunr in the Alliance series. The place of Foyer, who was assisting Scotland in defeating Wales, was ably filled by Walter Arnott of the Queen's Park; while MacDonald and Laverock played for Murdoch and Johnston. Though the home team showed the better play in the first half, the game during that period was well contested. The Glasgow forwards were unfortunate; but the Saints could not complain on that score, for they led by three goals at half-time, the points having been got by Scott, Laverock and Crossan. The second half witnessed one long series of attacks on the Thistle goal which fell in turn to Dobie, MacDonald, Laverock and Collins; while Crossan had another that was disallowed. Arnott, playing a game worthy of his best days; the play of McNab also excellent. Gilchrist was the best of the Thistle players.
