Match Report

TTA report

The game lived up to the “friendly“ tag in the first half. Thistle turned on the style and Brown scored from a Candlin pass (15). Cowdenbeath could do nothing right but were transformed by an equaliser (69) before Ledgerwood was beaten at the post by “a cheeky grounder“ (DP) (80) for the winner.
