Match Report

TTA report

Much changed - but strengthened along familiar lines - Thistle were the better team in the first half and a goal by Sharp (6) gave them a half-time lead. The second half saw a complete transformation as Thistle fell away and Dumbarton dominated and scored 48, 52, 55 and 78 to leave Thistle wondering where it all went wrong.
