Match Report

TTA report

Sharp scored 20 secs after Thistle kicked off. A great header by Walker (19) made it 2-0 but Clyde scored just on half-time. It was a scrappy game. Thistle should have taken advantage of slack defensive play and it wasn't until Walker scored his 2nd, gifted by the Clyde keeper, (70) that the result was put beyond doubt.
