Match Report

TTA report

After neat play Thistle, Buchanan scored (15). It was 1-1 (25) but Paul restored the lead just on half-time. In the second half it was soon 2-2 (50) but Thistle scored with Stewart free-kick and again with a “swift shot” (GH) by Marshall (80). Dumbarton got their 3rd late on and it could have ended 5-3 or 4-4.
