notes

Thistle scorer listed as Billy Leitch in the OH, and this is backed up by the DR. However, It's Neil Harris who's listed in the detailed reports in both the SC and SP and JL concurs. We go with the majority view.

Match Report

TTA report

Dumbarton scored (18) and although Leitch and Bowie were prominent they shaded the first half. Leitch laid on a fine pass for Harris (N) to burst through and equalise (58) and it was nip and tuck after that until the winner came a minute from time. Dumbarton joined Thistle on 18 points in mid-table.
