Match Report

TTA report

The game only took place with the bank's permission. Thistle struck some decent form and apart from the opening 10 minutes they dominated top club Saints. O'Hara opened the scoring (13) and an OG when a defender headed in an O'Hara cross (46) doubled the lead. It was halved (69) but Johnston made sure (87).
