Match Report

TTA report

Not a great day for full-backs as both sets of wingers ran riot. Thistle were as good as Hamilton but the home team's forwards were more nimble. McSpadyen was “as graceful and fast as a deer” (GH). Picken (pen), Peat and Douglas (2) scored for Thistle. Hamilton's goals included a penalty (44).
