Match Report

TTA report

Higgins scored (1) thanks to poor defending and his 2nd (21) came after a partial save from a Watson shot. Rough brilliantly saved a Somner pen (23) and Thistle looked comfortable but Saints, rejuvenated after half-time, brought on future-JAG Logan who (prompted by Ex-JAG Somner) promptly scored a hat-trick.
