Match Report

TTA report

A solid win with some fine performances. Newall opened for Thistle with a header from close in (54) after an even but goalless first half. Motherwell lost their left winger and Thistle took full control. Husband (75) and Picken (84) put the game beyond them. Third Lanark, however, won the section by a point.
