Match Report

TTA report

Without Sharp and Walker, the Fifers' 100% home record never looked in danger. Lackadaisical Thistle were given a skills and shooting lesson and trailed 2-0 at half-time. McIntosh made it 2-1 (63) when the home defence stopped, looking for off-side but 2 more goals (pen, 73 and 85) rubbed salt in the wound.
