Match Report

TTA report

Ledgerwood carried the ball over the line while evading a shoulder charge (10). McParland went close but Queens got their 2nd with a header from a free-kick (25). Crowe and Kerr scored in the second half - but so did Queens. Thistle (with as much of the ball) “had not a clue when it came to finishing” (ET). 2nd bottom.
