Match Report

TTA report

Curran and Brown were outstanding in this closely fought match. Sharp (57) and McInnes (85) got the goals that mattered. Clyde never gave up but they were unable to break down a solid defence. “Every JAG carried a sting” (SP). The well-deserved 2 points took Thistle up to 8th.
