notes

The OH lists Billy Leitch for Thistle's goal, and this is backed up by the DR. The SC and GH both say it was John Bowie and JL concurs, so we go with that majority view.

Match Report

TTA report

Adams and Bulloch excelled as Kilmarnock had Thistle pinned back in the first half. Bowie scored the only goal of the game from a cross from the right wing (50). Kilmarnock wasted their chances and, on the basis of some magnificent defending then “bright forward play” (SP), a deserved win.
