The Thistle Archive

There was a sparse attendance at Meadowside last night when these teams met in a Glasgow League fixture. The weather was good. Clyde scored in the first five minutes. Thistle made tracks for Mason’s charge but were beaten back, and Muncie was tested with a couple of good shots, which he saved. Sommen made the scores equal from a cross-shot by Robertson. Two corners were forced by the Clyde but nothing resulted. Cole scored a second goal for Clyde with a fast shot which gave Muncie no chance. The Clyde forwards were much the livelier lot, and gave the Thistle back division plenty to do to keep them out. From a foul for handling, Thistle had an opportunity of drawing level, but although the ball hovered in the vicinity of Mason, all the forwards missed scoring. Half-time: Clyde, 2; Thistle, 1. Immediately after the restart Clark put his team further ahead, Muncie failing to save an apparently easy shot. The Thistle forwards were useless against the Clyde back division, who allowed them no sage whatsoever, breaking up any attempt at combination play. Clyde scored again, but the point was disallowed for interference with the goalkeeper. Owing to darkness, the referee (Mr Muir, Motherwell) stopped the game eleven minutes from time. Result :– Clyde, 3 goals, Partick Thistle, 1 goal.
