Match Report

TTA report

It was end to end stuff from the start and Thistle took the lead (20) with a goal from a goalmouth scramble. A “smart shot from the right” (CE) made it 2-0 at half-time. There was no let up in the fast play and Hislop increased the lead (53). Forward line changes brought some reward and Rovers scored (89). Excellent game.
