Match Report

TTA report

Playing in red, Thistle took the lead (16) when Fleming scored from close in after fine inter-play with Wright. Wright saw his shot saved by the keeper's foot then stubborn Albion twice went close. In the second half it was mostly Thistle and Wright had another shot saved by the keeper's boot but it remained 1-0.
