Match Report

TTA report

Kilgannon hit the post with a volley early on but there were few chances in this entertaining match. In the second half the visitors went close with an angled drive then a McCulloch 35-yard free-kick was touched on to the bar. Trialist (Ferraz) tried an overhead kick with the rebound but it was saved.

Media report

21-Jul-2005, The Mirror

THISTLE KNOCK ON WOOD. PARTICK last night took the fizz out of the Coca-Cola Championship side and were unlucky not to get a deserved win. The Jags came within inches of winning a routine friendly when they hit the woodwork twice with efforts in each half. But they survived an early fright when skipper Marc Smyth allowed a ball to drop over him as Owl Lee Bullen charged in. But Smyth recovered well in 14 minutes to nod the ball back to keeper Kenny Arthur. Thistle charged up field and Ricky Gillies came close when he hurtled in to meet a low cross by new signing Sean Kilgannon and smash it off a post. The Owls fought back and Bullen flicked on a ball to Adam Proudlock who let it bounce once before crashing inches over. The second half was punctuated with a series of substitutions on both sides. But it was the Jags who came closest to breaking the deadlock when Scott McCulloch let fly with a 35-yard free-kick that was tipped over for a corner. Owls sub Glen Whelan whipped a shot beyond the post in the closing stages but the match was destined for a goal-less draw.
