Match Report

TTA report

Thistle led 3-0 at half-time thanks to goals by Gourlay (10 and 29) and a pen by Sharp (39). Thirds gave themselves an outside chance for the return match and scored (51). They went on to hit the bar but overall they were a poor team and apart from slack defending for the goal, Thistle were streets ahead.
