Match Report

TTA report

Top v 4th. Apart from MacKenzie going close and Walker missing from a yard, Thistle were never seriously in it. A shot from 15 yards beat Ledgerwood (8) then his palm-out was nodded in (41). His punched clearance was hit home (45). 2 more goals (63 and 79) underlined the gap in quality between the teams.
