Match Report

TTA report

Duffy scored (16) with a hooked effort but a shot hit Tinney's hand and Saints scored (Niven almost saving the pen, 38). The match turned towsy in the second half, several Saints were booked and Cunningham was carried off but Thistle rode it out and an amazing Hainey dribble set up McParland (80).
