Match Report

TTA report

Thistle's neat passing movements created chances and one was finally taken by McConalogue on the run (31). Gibson (A) scored with a downward header (55) then Thistle almost threw it away with slack play. A McCulloch 30-yard free-kick was the last notable incident. Confidence boosted after disastrous pre-seasons.

Media report

30-Jul-2005, bbc.com

Goals by Stephen McConalogue and Andy Gibson earned Partick a safe passage through to the second round of the Bell's Cup with a win over Cowdenbeath. McConalogue broke the deadlock in the 31st minute when he received Gibson's slick throughball and fired a firm shot past keeper David Hay from 18 yards. Gibson got on the scoresheet 10 minutes into the second half by nodding in Sean Kilgannon's cross at the far post. Cowdenbeath rarely looked like threatening Thistle's lead.
