Match Report

TTA report

Unusually for Broomfield, an open, entertaining game played in good spirit (!). Only 1 booking - McDonald for kicking the ball away. Chances came and went then a well constructed move led to 3rd bottom Airdrie scoring (30) but a telling pass by Watson set up a MacKinnon cross for Clark to twist, turn and shoot home (50). Thistle climbed to 2nd bottom.
