Match Report

TTA report

The season opened on the day Willie Hamilton died. Kinloch scored 10 minutes into the second half and despite the scoreline, Thistle were the better team - especially after half-time. Both keepers had some fine saves during the match. “Play throughout was greatly enjoyed by the crowd” (SC).
