Match Report

TTA report

It was end to end stuff from the start. Thistle had a goal disallowed for an obvious off-side. Dumbarton appealed a shot off the crossbar saved and cleared by Duff had crossed the line and the ref agreed “after a little argument” (GEP). Thistle equalised after half-time only for Dumbarton to get a 2nd near the end.
