Match Report

TTA report

Glover, Picken and Colgan all had chances but it took a goal by Doonan (34) to trouble the scorers, but it was 3-0 by then. 3 more in the second half showed how much Clyde were on top as Thistle's defence offered little resistance all afternoon. Bottom of the section. “Might have been a cricket score” (SP).
