Match Report

TTA report

Smith scored when a Harvey shot rebounded from a post (16) with Dunfermline claiming off-side. They scored 32 and 33 but Duffy got Thistle's 2nd from 20 yards (38). Aided by a fierce wind and hail showers at their backs, Dunfermline's sustained pressure in the second half paid off (50 and 69). Well beaten.
