Match Report

TTA report

Thistle's makeshift defence was their undoing. Trailing to goals (11 and 14), Regan scored (30) then Wooley equalised (48) with a spectacular drive but 3 more goals (65, 75 and 84) followed before Wyllie (G) scored (85). Wyllie (J) headed the ball in (90) but the ref blew for time.
