Review

A tough game played in "delicious" weather.

St Mirren fought well but were thwarted by the tacking of Battles and Young.

Peter Somers scored the only goal of the game, but Young, already called "Sunny Jim" by the fans who adored his approach to the game, is described as " a hardy strong fellow who never admits defeat"
