EK Thistle co-boss Alan Paterson says his side weren’t at the level to cope with Petershill as they were handed a sobering 6-1 home thrashing.
The Jags were downed by a Stephen Docherty hat-trick, Ronan Sweeney’s double and a Jonathan Branks strike late in the game. Jordan Scott put one into his own net but it did little to ease Thistle’s pain.
A six-goal hammering to third-place Petershill leaves EK 12th in West of Scotland Football League Conference C, just three places above basement boys Lanark United. It was another tough game for Paterson and Russell Craig’s young side after a 3-0 loss at Kilsyth the previous weekend.
