Match Report

A Duffy header (44) was all Thistle had to show for almost constant pressure. Niven had to look lively as Thirds improved after half-time but they couldn't score and Duffy headed his 2nd goal from a free-kick (60). After more Thirds pressure, he smashed home a McParland cross (73) before Thirds scored (88).
