Match Report

TTA report

Falkirk were “smarter in attack” (GH) and their best player was Shankly (Bob), playing in opposition to his brother. Candlin and Sharp were denied by excellent saves then Falkirk took the lead (23). Goals 40 and 62 put the game well beyond Thistle and the defeat ended any hope of winning the section. Well beaten.
