Match Report

TTA report

Thistle scored through Buchanan at a scrimmage (1) but Renfrew scored (6) “Burns making a desperate but futile effort to save“ (GEP). Stewart went off injured (30). A much debated and disputed goal gave Renfrew the lead soon after half-time. Reduction in numbers and wayward shooting led to defeat.
