Match Report

TTA report

Thistle (from Bridgeton) had the better of the first half and took a 2-goal lead but Ferguson scored either side of half-time to level. It was all Thistle (from Partick) in the second half and Ferguson scored twice more and Hyslop made it 5. It could have been 6 had a goal not been chalked off for off-side.
