notes

FJ credits Elmore and Coham with Thistle's first two goals, but we stick with Coham and Steel as per the supplier of our teamlines, NWH, who give a fuller, more descriptive account of the match.

TTA report

Distillery lost their keeper (5) but a sub came on. Coham and Steel put Thistle 2-up but Distillery scored before half-time then missed a pen. A Raisbeck pen and a goal by Marshall made it 4 but the locals got their 2nd before the finish. “One of the brightest exhibitions seen from a 'foreign' eleven“. “Wonderfully interesting“ (NWH).
