Match Report

TTA report

Queens had most of the pressure and chances and Bell in goal had some fine saves. His luck was in however when he was well beaten but Queens hit the bar. Wright hit the post in the second half before a goal by Hewitt (60) when he took a pass from Sharp won the points. Thistle (not at their best) went 4th.
