Match Report

TTA report

Still no joy against Hibs who booked the wind and were 1-up in 3 mins. Thistle were seldom seen in attack and it was 3-0 at half-time. Hibs hit the post then scored again. Lindsay did manage a goal (a lovely curling shot) but the better team deserved the win. The defence was weak and the forwards ineffectual.
