notes

Drawings £116 (GH) The OH/DR list an o.g. for Thistle's first, but the GH states it was our Muir Honeyman who did the needful. The DR account, whilst not being 100% clear, makes no mention of Honeyman in the action at all: “Harris charged down a ball in Clyde's half of the field; it came back off Shingleton's fingers and Watson, the Clyde right-back fumbling; it glanced off an upright into the net.” The own goal by Watson seems most convincing and we go with that.

Match Report

TTA report

When a Harris shot came back off the keeper, a defender dithered and the ball went in off a post (10). Branscombe hooked in a Honeyman pass (75) then fired in a cross for 3-0. Clyde scored near the end when Bulloch failed to clear a cross. A deserved win however because Thistle had more cohesion.
