Premier Sports Cup 
Meadowbank Sports Centre, Edinburgh
After a frustrating opening 45 minutes Thistle run in six second half goals to record an easy win and maintain a 100% Premier Sports Cup record.
Thistle look for a penalty as Stanway goes down inside the box.
Kyle Turner makes no mistake with a perfectly placed free kick as Thistle net a sixth goal.
Wasiri is fouled and Thistle will have a free kick at the very edge of the Edinburgh City box.
One for the dubious goals panel. There is a race between O'Reilly and Wasiri to knock the ball over the line from about a yard out. Was is certainly claiming it but O'Reilly might have got their first. We'll give it to Brian Graham!
Crawford crashes a shot off the bar as Thistle press for a fifth goal.
Diack is on the target in next to no time. He finds Turner who returns the ball to him and Diack knocks the ball home for his first goal of the season. Thistle coasting now.
The corner is cleared but Thistle pick the ball up again. Bannigan chips the ball back towards the City box. Milne picks the ball up at the right edge of the box and his shot beats Beveridge and finds the bottom corner.
Thistle double their lead. Ashcroft's header from Turner's corner is saved but Graham is there to force the ball over the line.
Ashcroft gets clear of his marker to get on the end of the Turner corner but can't hit target with his header.
Graham sees his shot touched over the bar by Beveridge.
We have a Thistle goal now. Robinson takes advantage of an error and finds himself clear on goal and makes no mistake as he slides the ball home.
City struggle to clear Turner's corner and Graham sees a shot strike the base of the post. By far the closest we've come to a Thistle goal.
Turner's run takes him into the City box but his shot is blocked.
Graham gets a touch to a Wasiri cross but Beveridge is untroubled as the ball drops wide of target.
Near thing from Edinburgh City as Jones sees a shot from the edge of the box go narrowly over the bar.
Ashcroft gets his head to Turner's corner but the ball goes over the bar.
Better from the start. Fitzpatrick crosses from the left but the ball is cleared for a corner denying Chalmers a goal.
No changes from Thistle at the break.
Not much to report from the first half. Thistle have dominated possession but with City happy to sit back and defend in depth Thistle have struggled to find space and have created little.
The tempo of the game will need to increase in the second half, as will Thistle's use of the ball in forward positions.
A long range Lawson shot clears Mitchell's crossbar.
Into first half injury time.
Back post again from Turner. Thistle appeal for another corner, on the right this time, but the last touch before the ball went out comes from a Thistle player and play restarts with a goal kick.
Bannigan catches a clearance on the volley at the edge of the box but the ball drops the wrong side of the keeper's right hand post.
It takes a good clearance inside the 6 yard box to get a Milne cross away from the home goal.
Wasiri halts a promising City attack as Mitchell pushes down the left.
Best chance yet. Beveridge claws away a Chalmers cross but Robinson knocks the ball wide of goal when a goal looked likely.
Another break in play, this time for a City player to receive some treatment. Ir's not been the greatest of games so far. Few chances at either end. Thistle seeing the bulk of the ball as you might expect, but haven't created an opening of note so far.
Milne is back on.
Break in play for Milne to receive some treatment. The Thistle left back looked to jar his knee going into a challenge with Stokes.
Turner's corner goes deep to the back post where it is cleared.
Robinson finds Chalmers on the right, Chalmers lifts a cross into the box that nobody can get on the end of.
Bannigan clips a pass down the left for Milne. Milne finds Fitzpatrick at the edge of the box but his shot drifts well wide of goal. This game really hasn't come to life yet.
Lawson's corner is cleared at the front post by Graham.
Turner has the first shot for Thistle but his effort from the edge of the box is always on the rise and clears the City crossbar.
First chance comes the way of the home side. Young plays a pass through to Lawson and his shot doesn't clear the Thistle bar with much to spare.
Thistle kick the game off.
Kick-off in our second Premier Sports Cup is minutes away.
