Match Report

TTA report

There was nothing between the teams in a dull first half. Smith and Sharp went close but Ledgerwood was kept busy as well. East Fife had a goal disallowed for off-side just on half-time. Thistle faded in the second half and when Davidson handled in the box, a penalty produced the Fifers' deserved winner (57).
