The Thistles played strongly at St Helens to beat the Pies 4.9 (33) to 2.3 (15).

Old Scotch got out to a 12-point lead at three-quarter-time, however a goal and a second wind from Scottsdale in the fourth kept the former on its toes.

But a goal and a six behinds from the Thistles in the final quarter ensured their victory.

They were led in the scoring by Sarah Giles with two goals, followed by one each for Georgia Nicholas and Georgia McCord.

Scottsdale's Kate Minchin kicked her team's two goals.

Eliza Matthews, Zoe Bourne, Raigan Kettle, Chloe Pitt, India Viney and Jemma Blair received respective best on ground votes for Old Scotch.
