Match Report

TTA report

Thistle hit the post twice but were caught out at the back twice. McKennan and McSpadyen runs set up Douglas and Wallace (55 and 62) then a pen by McKennan made it 3-2 (67). Cowdenbeath equalised (possibly a McLeod OG 75) and it was frantic defending until the end - surviving a stonewall pen claim (89).
