TTA report

“Play was always keen and exciting but there was little football shown” (GH). Thirds had the best chances in the first half but failed in front of goal. Thistle re-jigged their forward line in the second half but with the same result. “Each team might have dispensed with its goalkeeper”. Says it all!
