Match Report

TTA report

Sharp, Wright and Walker should have put Thistle 3-up after 15 mins. A long throw-in caught the defence cold and top of the league East Fife scored (33) then a brilliant 20-yarder made it 2-0 (42) but Howitt scored (44). A fine twisting header by Sharp hit the bar (66) then a deflection (68) sealed a well-earned win.
