Match Report

TTA report

Thistle enjoyed their best spell in the first half and were good value for their lead thanks to a Newall goal (16). The tables were turned however and St Mirren got on top. That they only managed 1 goal (a brilliant solo effort, 53) was down to bad luck and good defending - particularly by Henderson.
