Match Report

TTA report

“The home lot lost the toss and seemed for a time at sea. There was lack of combination and they were indebted to Proudfoot” (SL). He gave them the lead (25) then they converted a penalty (Lawson) before half-time. Proudfoot put Thistle further ahead before Port scored (89) but Proudfoot completed his hat-trick (90).
