Match Report

TTA report

Hibs' defence put up stiff resistance in the first half. After half-time Thistle shot too much from distance and a scrambled goal (63) set Hibs on their way. A 2nd goal (70) killed the tie. “The Edinburgh side had to thank their defence for quelling the eager Thistle forwards” (GH). Prime Minister Attlee attended.
