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.

Larkhall Thistle v Renfrew, Central League First Division
After no wins in the opening three games, the last thing you would probably want is a visit from the league leaders with a 100% record but that’s what the Jags got today.

Thistle held a minute’s silence in memory of lifelong supporter Tommy Ferguson before today’s game.
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 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.

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.

Larkhall Thistle v Lesmahagow, 27th December 2014
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.
