Match Report

TTA report

Dundee played neat, tippy-tappy stuff but Thistle were not impressed. Kinnell equalised an early goal (18) then Gibb shot home from 30 yards (20). Poor defending let Dundee in (35) but Howitt with a half-hit shot (41) and McCredie (43) ensured Thistle won the section. The second half was a non-event.
