Match Report

TTA report

McKennan and McSpadyen were in tremendous form and, for once, McKennan did not hold on to the ball selfishly. Thistle trailed (3) but Douglas equalised (15). McSpadyen (26), McKennan (52) and McSpadyen (56) put the game beyond Thirds but they rallied strongly and scored late on. Thistle played without the injured Stewart for the last 20 mins. Up to 5th.
