Match Report

TTA report

Thistle seemed reluctant to try anything on the skating rink surface but Rovers took their chances. They led 1-0 at half-time and apart from the first 20 minutes of the second half when Thistle pressed then faded, they were the better team. 2 goals (85 and 87) wrapped up the points before Wallace scored off a post (90).
