Match Report

TTA report

Coulston (from a Smith through ball, 15 and after fine work by Gibson, 22) set Thistle up. Berwick fought back with a couple of chances however. Bone was fouled 2 yards inside the box but inexplicably a free-kick was given. Lawrie scored (47), Rough had a fine save, the lead was reduced (60), then Bone made it 4 soon after.
