Match Report

TTA report

Ragged defending and weak half-back play cost Thistle the points - and the first goal. Thirds took the lead (10) but McSpadyen equalised before half-time with a header from a Picken cross. Thistle pressed after the break but after Wallace had hit the post, relegation-threatened Thirds went on to score twice more to take both points.
