Match Report

TTA report

With representatives of 8 English top-flight clubs watching, Rough and Hansen (A) had magnificent games. Second Division Bolton never looked like breaking down resolute Thistle who had the best chance of the night when Somner, having just come on as a sub, shot wide with just the keeper to beat late on.
