notes

OH credits Carrick Hamilton with Thistle's opener and this is backed up by the DR, but the goal is not described in any detail. Both the SC and SR say the first one was William Brown (from a scrimmage acc.to the SC). The GH offers no scorers. We're compelled to go with the 2 v 1 found press reports and allocate Thistle's first to Brown.

Match Report

TTA report

Six minutes into the new season Thistle (with 4 new signings playing) were 2 down. They countered with a goal from Brown with a shot through a ruck of players close in then Hamilton equalised before half-time with “a clever effort“ (SC). The second half was even but Saints, the better team, eventually edged Thistle out.
