Match Report

TTA report

“A big crowd turned out to see The Celebrated Partick Thistle“ (DC). Harp took the lead (20) after sustained pressure at a scrimmage. The Thistle defence played well but shooting was wild. A better second half saw numerous chances wasted and some ill-luck before Duff blundered off his line for 2-0.
