The fans favourite popped up in the embers of injury time to net his third goal in four games and give his side a well earned win over the big spending Jags side who missed out on a chance to move seven points within the top of the table. But instead it would be Blues who was the toast of Inverclyde after Aiden Fitzpatrick had cancelled out Filip Stuparevic's earlier second half opener to move the Greenock men up to seventh in the table. The visitors had an early call for a penalty waved away by whistler Ryan Lee - who wasn't in a gift giving mood.
A defensive mix-up between Lyall and Boyes saw Logan Chalmers get into a dangerous position down the right. He delivered for Brian Graham who'd occupied the space at the back post but he saw his effort blocked by the midriff of Jack Baird despite the Partick skipper's claims for handball. After some earlier problems, the visiting support would once again vote with their feet with little under a quarter of an hour played as they forced their from the Wee Dublin End terracing and into the Cowshed - which they'd earlier failed to do to get out of the incessant rain.

And they should've broken the deadlock with 20 minutes gone after some great anticipation from Cameron Blues saw him win the ball in Partick territory and slip in Owen Moffat.
