Match Report

TTA report

Thistle seemed happy to absorb Forfar's early pressure then Joe Craig scored the only goal of the game against the run of play (25) when the keeper missed his lob into the goalmouth. Forfar wasted a good chance just before half-time. Forfar had the best of the second half and Rough was a busy keeper.
