Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were only as good as they had to be to beat bottom of the league Hamilton. Chisholm scored with a 30-yard drive (41) then O'Donnell scored from close in (57). Accies pulled one back with a 20-yarder but a Brown header (85) killed off any chance of a fight-back. Excellent half-back play was the key feature.
