Match Report

TTA report

“Falkirk too skilful” (SP). Thistle's best spell was after Sharp equalised Falkirk's opener (33) but a minute into the second half it was 2-1. From then on it was largely Falkirk and Thistle struggled to make any impression. Sutherland was best for Thistle but Newall and McSpadyen were subdued.
