notes

OH gives Thistle's third to Tommy Ewing (by process of elimination) but the ET report seems impossible to argue with, saying that Ewing started the move and that 2 defenders collided, and the ball cannoned off Hunter into the net. We therefore go with the ET account.

Match Report

TTA report

Thistle had a grip of the game from the start and Fleming scored from a McParland cross (21). Falkirk made little impression but their keeper had some fine saves. He was beaten by a Fleming tap-in (54) then Niven spilled a fierce 25-yarder (57). 2 defenders collided for an OG (67) then Hainey sealed it (84).
