The wait was over as Tolbooth returned to competitive action against Nicolls in the league. It was the visitors who took the lead in the 26th minute when the ball broke on the edge of the Tolbooth box and the Nicolls player powered the ball into the bottom corner. Tolbooth soon reacted and was unlucky not to pull level when Riley was denied one on one with the goalkeeper and then Michie volleyed the rebound over the bar. Minutes later, Keith cut in side from the left and smashed the underside of the crossbar. The equaliser finally arrived when Shand won a free kick on the edge of the box. Up stepped Keith who fired the ball into the top corner ensuring it was all square at the interval.
Tolbooth took it up a gear in the second half and lead soon arrived, from an unlikely source! Shand's knock down found defender A. Paterson on the edge of the box who smashed a spectacular half volley beyond the goalkeeper into the net. Minutes later, the two goal cushion arrived when Glennie's speculative effort from 25 yards decieved the goalkeeper. Nicolls continued to look for a way back into the game, but Petrie and Fuller at the heart of the Tolbooth defence repelled the attacks. The 4th goal arrived on the counter, when the returning Mckinnon won the ball and started a fine Tolbooth move with Buchan releasing Shand who expertly finished into the bottom corner. Tolbooth withstood late Nicolls pressure to secure a hard fought victory.
