Match Report

TTA report

AGG: 6-5. Steadward let a 35-yarder slip through his legs (5) but he had some tremendous saves. Johnson outpaced a defender (24) and he fired home a Husband cross (60). Thistle looked like winning until a hand ball by Parker made for a nervy finish but Dumbarton fired the pen wide (87).

Media report

03-Jun-1945, Sunday Post

OH! TIMMINS! Three minutes from time Parker handled in the box. Just when the home fans expected Milne to step forward, Timmins placed the ball and shot weakly past. Tough for Dumbarton, who deserved a draw in a game which moved along in top gear throughout. Still, Thistle had the match-winners in Steadward and Johnson. The keeper belied his name when Timmins scored, letting a 35-yards shot slip from his hand and pass through his legs. From that point he struck ‘national form. Some of his saves were superlative. Johnson was the star wing man afield. He outpaced Kay in a thrilling race to smack in his first, and was on the spot to turn a Husband cross shot for the winner. Defences in contrast to last week’s game were on top. Both ‘keepers were outstanding as were Curran and Milne, with Husband and Browning fine forcing halves. The left wing were out of the picture, but Filshie and Hepburn starred for Dumbarton, and Johnson and Brown for Thistle. This boy Brown, who came from Yoker to Thistle, is a “natural”. Grand physique and uses his brain all the time. Timmins deserves praise for his willingness to take a shot, some of his snap-shooting being very tricky. But the penalty miss was just too bad.
