There are some clips of the game from last Monday uploaded to Youtube, unfortunately the Albert strike for the goal was too fast for the cameraman but Graham Gracie’s goal and the penalties are there.

Larkhall Thistle v Thorniewood United, Central League First Division
Thistle brought the curtain down on their league campaign with a home game against Thorniewood. With both teams safe from relegation and neither able to get promoted there was only pride to play for but they both put in plenty of effort in a decent last game.

Larkhall Thistle v Lesmahagow, Central District First Division
Thistle hosted neighbours Lesmahagow in this tough looking league match. As preparation for next week’s Scottish Cup second round tie, the derby promised to be as good a test as any the Jags could have had.
Scottish Cup 1st Round Draw
Thistle have been drawn at home to Haddington Athletic in the first round of the Scottish Cup. Haddington play in the East Premier League, the division below the Superleague and are currently sitting sixth after five games. It will be a stiff test for the Jags as the two teams look fairly evenly matched on paper.
As commented by regular poster Exiled, Thistle lost 3-1 there in the Scottish Cup in 1970 when they had a very good team and a massive support, the round after beating Preston Athletic (now a Senior team) 4-0 at Prestonpans.
The tie takes place on Saturday 26th September at Gasworks Park.
Larkhall Thistle 7 Forth Wanderers 2
Thistle blew a poor Forth team away with a seven goal second half blitz to run out easy winners in a game where they were never really troubled. The only surprise was the visitors taking a lead into half time but it was just the jolt the Jags needed.

Larkhall Thistle v Wishaw, Central League Division 1 – 25th April 2015
Thistle had lost the reverse fixture in Wishaw just a few weeks ago and so there was no chance that they were going to underestimate today’s opponents, despite their position near the foot of the table.
Larkhall Thistle v Vale of Clyde, Central League Division 1 – 18th April 2015
Thistle had won the reverse fixture at Fullerton Park earlier in the season and looked to be well on the way to winning this one too until a great fightback by Vale saw the game end in a disappointing draw.

Some video highlights:
Larkhall Thistle v Carluke Rovers, Central League Division 1 – 4th April 2015
Thistle and Carluke provided an all action game that had the fans of both sides entertained until the final whistle, but once again the referee was at the centre of the action as he sent off two from Carluke as well as the almost inevitable one from Larkhall.

Thistle v Bellshill, February 21st 2015
Thistle were without Hugh Kelly for the visit of runaway league leaders Bellshill but could take some heart from the reverse fixture earlier in the season when the teams drew 3-3 in a game they could well have won.
