Match Report

TTA report

The opening match of this cup tournament was a very poor affair. Thistle started the stronger but the forwards were weak. Thirds shot over then Simpson hit the post before he scored the only goal just on half-time. Thirds came more into the game in the second half but there was no further scoring.
