Stenhousemuir vs Partick Thistle

The visitors had more of the ball in the early stages, however the Warriors remained firmly in the game as a contest. The first half chance was in the 10^th minute as Turner broke through for Thistle, only for a stunning tackle from Jamieson preventing the shot.

Both Graham and Orr then had half chances for the Warriors as we began to come into the game even more. A huge chance to score was then squandered by the boys as a ball into the box fell to Graham, who’s shot was deflected into the path of Orr 5 yards out only for Stone to pull off an excellent save to preserve the scoreline.

Orr would then get another chance in the 31^st minute, this time from the spot, as Graham was pushed in the box. Orr confidently dispatched the penalty, sending Stone the wrong way for 1-0 Warriors. Thistle almost responded immediately however, with only the post denying Docherty a wondergoal.

In the second half, Thistle rallied and their quality began to shine through. It was 1-1 on 52 minutes as Tiffony was able to make it to the by-line and square the ball to Rudden for a tap in.

The winner then also came from the Jags left flank, this time a high chipped cross was headed home comfortably by  Graham in the 73^rd minute.

The match finished in a 2-1 defeat for the Warriors, which although wasn’t the desired result, there were still plenty positives to take from what was a very strong performance.
