Match Report

TTA report

Thistle led 3-0 after 24 minutes when Wallace twice pounced on poor pass-backs and from a McKennan pen. Both players were excellent. A rally by Huddersfield saw them reduce the lead with a pen (25) and goals 43, 48 and 69 put them well ahead. Thistle, with 3 reserves at half back, conceded again (90).
