Match Report

TTA report

Thistle only led 1-0 at half-time thanks to a goal by Donaldson (his first of two) but it proved to be a one-sided match against winless Dumbarton. The second half was dominated by Thistle, restricting the visitors to the occasional run up field. “Donaldson, Paul and Lawson bulked largely in the spectators' eye“ (DR).
