Match Report

TTA report

A good win against joint-top Dumbarton. A midfield scrap at first, chances started to appear at both ends and both keepers had fine saves. A blistering free-kick by Watson was the pick of the bunch. A 30-yard drive pile driver by Doyle (J) proved to be the only goal (44) as Thistle went top.
