Match Report

TTA report

Bottom of the league Alloa started brightly. They were the equal of Thistle except up front where their forwards were poor and made little impact. Blair gave Thistle the lead (“a swift drive from an acute angle” (SP), 15) then Carlow headed in (22). The second half saw Thistle largely in control but it finished 2-0.
