notes

As with 1926-27, Thistle were invited for the one match challenge for the trophy. The scheduled 7.30pm kick off was delayed by 30 mins as several King's Park players were delayed by trains. As a result, the game was limited to 2 halves of 35 minutes.

Match Report

TTA report

“Vigorously contested“ (SO). King's Park coped well with Thistle's strong forward play. They were never out of things and had their share of attacks and chances. A well constructed move down the left involving neat interpassing and a tidy finish won the cup (68). 2x35 minutes were played. Future-JAG Rae missed a first half penalty for KP.
