notes

At least one (un-noted) report credits George Miller with Dunfermline's 3rd, but ET/DR/GH/SC all say it was George Peebles and we're obliged to side with that majority view which is very convincing.

Match Report

TTA report

“Jags hit back after jitter start” (ET). Thistle came from 0-1 and 1-3 down to earn a fighting point. Smith scored from 20 yards to level at 1-1 (26) and McParland nodded in from close range just before half-time to make it 3-2. Thistle finally gained the upper hand. They were weak up front but Thomson scored (90).
