Match Report

TTA report

“A mid-line magnificent” (SP). A howling wind made for a scrappy, untidy game. Thistle's power at half-back was the difference between the teams and Brown was in tremendous form. Walker gave them a half-time lead (35) then Wright (pen, 61) and Falkirk (pen 63) finished the scoring. “Bairns disappoint” (SP). Still 3rd.
