Match Report

TTA report

Thistle found it hard to break down a solid Keith defence and got increasingly frustrated they couldn't find the net. The home keeper had some fine saves but Somner finally outstripped 2 defenders and shot home for the only goal (51). Kelly shaved a post late on. “No Highland Fling for Thistle” (ET).
