notes

The OH/JL (by process of elimination) list Thistle's opener as an own goal, but we go with the DEP report which says it was Tom Atherton, as we'd prefer to think positively for a named Jag.

Match Report

TTA report

Atherton's shot was headed into the net by a defender (10) and Freebairn scored soon after. “A grand breakaway” (DEP) saw Thirds score but McNicoll put the points safe with a 3rd goal after half-time which was drab and “scarcely worthy the teams contesting for the points” (GH). Thirds were “palpably outclassed” (DET).
