Match Report

TTA report

More trouble with East Fife who had already qualified for the QFs. Thistle didn't play that badly but the forwards were guilty of holding on to the ball for too long and wasting chances. Walker was the main danger but he was carried off (72) but by then Thistle were well beaten by goals (12, 48 and 67).
