Match Report

TTA report

A harsh pen gave Thirds an early lead (6) then Duffy was robbed of a stonewall pen but Harvey scored with one soon after (28). Thistle pressed continuously until half-time but a speculative shot squirmed out of Niven's gloves (65) then Thirds got a 3rd (82) and Hainey headed a Hume cross in (88). Unlucky not to draw.
