Queens went 1-up (4) with a deflected shot off a full-back. Thanks to some fine play Gilchrist equalised but it was 2-1 just before half-time. Queens had 2 goals disallowed but McCorkindale played well behind a packed defence. A few late chances were missed so Thistle's first venture into this cup ended there.
