Match Report

TTA report

Thistle were better at the start with Rae and Duncan causing problems on the wings but Blackpool took a surprise lead (20) with a towering header. Roxburgh levelled from a Rae pass almost immediately then chances were missed and Blackpool hit the post from 40 yards. A fine save by Taylor earned the draw.
