Match Report

TTA report

Thistle took a lead into half-time thanks to O'Donnell (25). They had some excellent play in the first half and Husband's long throw-ins constantly caused problems but once Hearts equalised (50) they settled and scored another 3 without reply, although O'Donnell and Sharp went close several times.
