Match Report

TTA report

A magnificent Ledgerwood save kept Thistle level until they settled. After that they were the better team. An OG proved to be the winner (42) when an attempted clearance of a cross by MacKenzie (unstoppable at times) was sliced over the keeper. O'Donnell and Sharp both hit the bar. Not as tight as it looked.
