Match Report

TTA report

Niven made his debut in goal and play was even with Queens matching Thistle in most respects. Their defence was particularly strong. The winner came from a turn and shot that left Niven helpless (88).When would the slum end? Duffy was injured (41) and an “unofficial“ sub (Williamson) came on.
