Match Report

TTA report

Fletcher was in action early on and had some fine saves. Port had a goal disallowed (off-side) before McNicoll gave Thistle a deserved lead. Port levelled but Paul scored just on half-time. A “smart header” (GT) put the teams level and the remainder of the game was even but Port got the winner.
