Match Report

TTA report

3rd placed Hibs always had a bit more to offer. MacKenzie had a great game and caused all sorts of trouble down the right wing but Thistle trailed at half-time. Hibs also missed a pen. They scored again (55) then Walker reduced their lead (66) but that ended the scoring. Hibs played 4 of their “famous five”.
