Match Report

TTA report

Elliot and McLeod were stalwarts in defence and attack but by the time McSpadyen scored with a fast low shot (57) Thistle were trailing 3-0 - Johnstone having fumbled a shot for the 3rd (67). Having seldom been in any serious contention, McKennan got Thistle's 2nd (83) after a scramble.
