Home cup match
Quarter finals of the cup we took on Eastend Hearts who beat us 7-0 a few weeks ago.
Kirkstyle came out flying and took the lead after 7 mins when O'Keeffe was blocked but poked the ball past the keeper for Steven Blackstock who won the race and tapped into the empty net. 1-0
It got better for Thistle in the 27th minute, Barry Corner found Rab McGuinness 25 yards out who took a touch before firing a contender for goal of the season dipping and bending into the top left corner. 2-0
And within 2 minutes there was another Barry Corner again instrumental releasing Graeme O'Keeffe who gave the keeper no chance as he drilled the ball into the far corner 3-0.
With 10 minutes left of a half dominated by Thistle came another goal.
Captain Chris Foster won the ball in midfield and chipped a ball over the Eastend defence to release O'Keeffe who beat the keeper to the ball and lob him from the edge of the box into the empty net 4-0.
Then it started going wrong Eastend pulled one back 3 minutes before halftime when a shot deflected in off Barry Corner 4-1.
Hamill gave away a penalty 2 minutes later but Man of the match Dave McFarlane kept the spot kick out.
Into injury time and Eastend got another one back 4-2 HT.
The 2nd half turned into a nightmare with a 2nd own goal from Corner who would later be sent off, another 2 penalties as Thistle eventually crashed 7-4.
