Match Report

TTA report

In poor weather only a few hundred saw Dykebar take a 2-goal lead into half-time. Thistle fought back and scored on the break then levelled. It was end to end stuff after that and both teams hit woodwork before a goal (82) looked to be the winner but Dykebar weren't to be denied and the levelled 2 minutes later.
