Match Report

TTA report

“Johnny MacKenzie delighted the Geordies“ with “one of the best wing displays of the season“ (ET). A goal by Ewing (60) put Thistle ahead but Newcastle (sitting 4th in Div 1) went on to equalise with a shot that Ledgerwood misjudged and went under him. Originally a Floodlit League match but the SFA banned the tournament.
