Match Report

TTA report

Another poor performance saw Thirds rattle in 3 goals in the first 17 minutes (the 3rd a pen). Thistle fought on but their attack was weak. Couples (53) and Newall (77) gave the score a better complexion but Thistle were well beaten by the end. Tempers frayed and Johnson and a Thirds player were sent off late on.
