Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were robbed of a blatant pen for hand ball (1). Thirds' early strike against the run of play was cancelled out by Sharp from a Picken corner (25). Thistle did everything but score then 2 goals (38 and 43) put Thirds on top. Gourlay scored (46) but Thirds took the points in an entertaining match.
