Match Report

TTA report

Ledgerwood made a diving save then Hibs opened the scoring (8) and applied most of the pressure. Thistle hit the post twice and a shot was kicked off the line then Hibs fired a pen a foot wide just before half-time. MacKenzie went close before Hibs scored again (62). Some nice football but no punch.
