Match Report

Thistle weren't phased by East Fife's opener (5). Playing the better football, 2 goals from Wright (40 and 42) put their noses in front. Kerr got the 3rd with a header from a McParland cross then Wright completed his hat-trick with a header before McParland got the 5th (80). Kerr and McParland were excellent.
