Match Report

TTA report

Cliftonhill. A stunning finish from the edge of the box by Lawrence (20) won the points. Hamilton had lots of possession in the second half but seldom seriously threatened until a fine save by Arthur late on. Thistle survived an even later pen scare then Morgan should have extended the lead. Well deserved.

Media report
