Match Report

TTA report

Weary Thistle took the field on successive days. Thanks to Rough (who had a number of international class saves) and stubborn defending, they turned round at 0-0 but 2 goals (52 and 59) knocked the stuffing out of them. Increasingly wilting, a 3rd goal (70) killed them off and the game drifted to its conclusion.
