Match Report

TTA report

Thistle climbed to 7th place after this win. Donald opened the scoring from close in and it took an OG after half-time to double the lead. Saints scored (85). They had more of the game than Thistle and probably deserved a draw but, in truth, neither set of forwards impressed. A poor game. “End-of-season football” (SP).
