Match Report

TTA report

Around 4,000 soon saw that Port were too strong for Thistle. They opened their account in 8 minutes and by half-time it was 5-0 and all over. Thistle only started to play after half-time and 2 goals from Paul put a better complexion on things - only for Port to score late on. Their shooting was “erratic“ (GT).
