Match Report

TTA report

Conner put Thistle ahead (10) then goals by Wilson, Reid and Lamont made for a comfortable lead at half-time. Abercorn had a share of possession (especially in the second half when Thistle took it easy) but their forwards were poor and they seldom threatened. Conner got the 5th just on full time.
