Match Report

TTA report

Inability of both sets of forwards to take their chances was evident. Branscombe saw his penalty saved (shot straight at the keeper). In the second half Gardiner missed a sitter, but he scored from a Branscombe cross then Alan added a 2nd from close in (80) before he hit the bar. Thirds scored (90).

Media report

18-Aug-1910, The Scotsman

Firhill Park, Glasgow, was opened for the season last night, when Partick Thistle and Third Lanark met in a friendly game. Both teams had out strong elevens. In the first half the game was very evenly contested, there being not much to choose between the teams. The Thistle left wing had a fine run, and Allan sent in a fine shot, which Brownlie managed to punch clear. Good forcing work by the Thirds halves enabled the “Warriors” to force two corners, which were successfully cleared. Richardson next burst through, but Dunsmuir managed to catch him, and blocked the centre’s shot. Play for a time took place in the vicinity of Brownlie, and Gardner missed a good chance when he shot past with a clear goal in front of him. The Thistle were awarded a penalty, but Brownlie saved magnificently from Branscombe. At half-time there was no scoring.

Soon after resuming, Prentice sent in a fine shot, which Howden fell in saving, but Richardson sent the ball past with Howden out of his goal. The Thistle returned to the attack, and a fine centre from Branscombe enabled Gardner to open the scoring. The home men kept up the attack, and were rewarded with a second goal, Allan clean beating Brownlie from close quarters. Allan almost got a third goal, his shot striking the cross-bar and rebounding out. From this point Third Lanark monopolised play. But their efforts went for nothing through weak shooting. In the last minute, however, Whyte managed to beat Howden, the game ending :– Partick Thistle, two; Third Lanark, one.
