notes

GH erroneously lists King twice for Thistle, omitting Coham. Coham confirmed via OH/SC.

TTA report

4th top v 3rd bottom was closer than expected. Rovers deserved their lead just on half-time when Houston parried a save into the path of a forward. Wilson wasted a good chance early in the second half, Branscombe went close then Coham scored. Rovers went ahead but King scored with a penalty (90).
