Match Report

TTA report

“Easy for Jags in goal rush” (ET). McQuade was a threat from the start, first down the wing then through the middle. A goal by Bone on 5 minutes when he swept a Coulston cut-back in from 20 yards gave Thistle the lead. Arbroath had a couple of half chances but it was McQuade who scored next when he was given time and space to bring the ball down and thump it into the net from a corner (16). A few minutes later it was 3-0. Bone and Coulston combined well inside the box to set up Lawrie from close range. On the half hour Bone was hauled down in the box and he gave Thistle a commanding 4-0 lead from the spot. Thistle were content to contain Arbroath in the second half, although they did have a few half chances. Arbroath, with their laborious build up, seldom threatened and Thistle ran out comfortable winners against the second division team.
