Match Report

TTA report

Thistle looked as if they would be overrun early on as Motherwell hit the post and had two reasonable penalty claims turned down. They rallied before half-time then McParland (the best forward of the 10 on view) crossed after he had beaten 2 defenders and Whitelaw scored from 10 yards (50). Section winners.
