Match Report

TTA report

3 new signings Honeyman, Bowie and Leitch made their debuts. It couldn't have been a better start to the season for the bulk of the 9,000 crowd as Whittle scored a 10-minute hat-trick (the 3rd, a penalty) and it was a flattering 3-1 lead at half-time. Morton rallied strongly and scored thanks to an error by Campbell.
