Match Report

TTA report

Expecting Dumbarton to present few difficulties because all but 2 of their regulars had gone on strike, Thistle fielded a weakened team with a number of changes and 2 trialists. They soon found out it had not been a wise move. A scratch Dumbarton side proved to be the better team.
