Match Report

TTA report

After some even play Sutherland broke the deadlock after a good move. Goals came easily after that and it was 4-1 at half-time. Fighting broke out amongst the spectators who invaded the pitch and it took 15 minutes to restore order. One more goal in the second half finished it. “Thistle played a rattling game” (GT).
