Match Report

TTA report

But for Johnstone Thistle's 1st defeat at Brockville in 5 years would have been worse. After a bright start, they faded and went behind (20). Well-taken goals (67 and 70) underlined how much Falkirk were on top. New signing from Newcastle, Ford, played his 2nd and last game for the club.
