This was the only fixture on the cards from the First Division today and that gave the chance of the winner moving up to second place in the league. An unlikely turn of events for Thistle after their poor start to the league and this game had it all as it swung one way then the other.
Month: December 2014
Friendly – Larkhall Thistle 3 Thorniewood 2
Thistle got a bit of practice in with this friendly at Dalziel Park against Thorniewood and more than matched their higher league opponents with a good win. Graham Gracie and Alan Colquhoun were fit to play and David McPhee slotted in well in the right back position, getting the third and decisive goal as it turned out.
Ex-Thistle players Alan Fleming and Joe Doyle were the centre half pairing for Thorniewood.
Next game is on Saturday at home to Lesmahagow, weather permitting of course.
Game OFF
Today’s game with St Anthony’s has been postponed due to a flooded park.
Next game is next Saturday 27th against Lesmahagow so switch off the old films for a couple of hours and get down to Gasworks to see the derby!

Auchinleck Talbot v Larkhall Thistle, 6th December 2014
Thistle travelled to Ayrshire more in hope than expectation to play a Talbot team that is right at the top of junior football in Scotland. In the end there were positives to take from the performance and a goal to remember from captain Mark Canning.
