Match Report

TTA report

Ledgerwood seemed blinded with the sun when a header flashed past him (5). Thistle's forwards had an off-day and it was no surprise when Motherwell went 3-up on 63 mins. The 3rd goal was from a seemingly impossible angle on the by-line. Walker's goal (89) was well taken but to no avail. Still 11th.
