Away cup match
Thistle came up against LCCT for the 3rd time this season after drawing both league games today's game would finally see a winner either way.
Kirkstyle had 3 new faces in the starting line up this week with James Fisher coming in for a 2nd spell, Scott Gibb and Brian Faller making there debuts.
The early part of the game was littered with niggley fouls and a Thistle penalty claim waved away when Fisher went down in the box.
20 minutes into the game and Fisher was again fouled in the penalty area and this time it was given.
Up stepped Sean Carson to score his 8th of the season and put his side ahead.
It was scrappy for most of the first half with Kirkstyle the better side and creating more chances than they had in the last few games but the 2nd goal didn't come until right before half time with new boys Fisher and Faller linking up for Faller to finish on his debut.

The second half continue as the first had a bit scrappy with Thistle linking up well at times and keeper Colin Pettigrew having very little to do.
The 3rd goal for Thistle was the pick of the day Stuart Falvey's free kick from 25 yards leaving the keeper helpless, 3-0 Thistle.
Kirkstyle should have been well out of sight by now squandering some good chances but with 17 mins left any hopes LCCT had of a comeback left them when they went down to 10 men.
Graeme O'Keeffe back for a 2nd spell at Kirkstyle would have a hand in the 4th goal when his ball over the top sent Fisher through to make it 4-0 and then at the death O'Keeffe grabbed his 10th of the season when Faller played him in to finish it at 5-0.
