Thistle’s last game of the 2014 – 2015 season was a crucial game for the Bens, only a win would save them from relegation to the Central Second Division. Thistle were safe and had nothing really to play for other than pride.
As Benburb were still awaiting completion of their new ground this game was played at Lochburn Park the home of Maryhill Juniors.
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.
Thistle met in-form Lanark in a game that was threatened by the recent rain and although it didn’t serve up the excitement and goals of last week, there were some positives to take from the game.

Thistle took on bottom team Ashfield in what on paper seemed like being a fairly straightforward home win. The Possil club had lost all but one of their league games so far with only a draw against Carluke preventing a complete blank but the Jags hadn’t exactly been pulling up trees themselves this seaon so were taking nothing for granted.

An action packed match at Fullerton Park saw a flurry of goals in eight frantic first half minutes as Thistle took the lead then lost it but showed some fantastic fighting qualities to get back into the game.
