Maxwelltown Thistle retained the British Legion Cup on Friday 27th March 2009 when they defeated local rivals Lochar Thistle 3-2. A full match report can be found on the Blog. This was a brilliant result considering the news that the club has been deducted 18 points for using and ineligible player in 6 of their matches was only given to some of the players in the dressing room before the game. On the night Lochar started the brighter and could have been a couple of goals in front. However, once Max scored thier first they settled and controlled the match from that point on.
