notes

The OH credits Bobby Law with Thistle's opener but, it was a clear own goal. His shot is OFF TARGET and rebounds from the post. The ball only finds the net because it hits off Andy Murdoch and rebounds in.

Match Report

TTA report

An excellent game with Lambie in charge of Hamilton who had recent JAG Murdoch in goal. Law rammed home a 25-yarder via post and Murdoch (technically an og, 2) but 4 minutes later it was 1-1. Campbell launched himself to head home (47) then close things were shared. Charnley's pen when Campbell was brought down (75) secured the win.
