Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Peterhead 9 Ross County 2 No credit can be denied Peterhead for their handsome victory. It was a case of a team at the top of its form and the opposition at the other end of the scale. Ross County can scarcely ever again lower its colours to such an extent. It is true they had neither of their regular goalkeepers. Newton, who had been selected, called off at the last minute. Cowan, a soldier home from the East, gallantly stepped into the breach. Nine goals were scored against him, but he saved twice as many more. He deserves credit for a good display under trying circumstances. If any kudos can be handed out it goes to Forsyth, Ogilvie and T. Urquhart. The latter two were the only players who tried to get the forwards going. Centre-half Urquhart had too much defensive work to do. Sutherland, for Sutherland, had a day off. Ross County were plucky against adversity, but for the day they were outclassed and over-run. The return of Stephen at back greatly improved the Peterhead defence. The homesters scored in the first 2 minutes when a Dickie shot was deflected past Cowan. This was followed by another by Mutch. Ross County's never-say-die spirit came into evidence when Cameron nipped in to beat Hendry. A Buchan header gave Peterhead a lead of 3-1 at half-time. The second half was all Peterhead. Strachan got a soft goal, then Anderson, an old Ross County player, rattled on three in quick succession. J. Buchan and Johnstone added one each and Cameron, not to be outdone, scored a second for the County team. Let's forget it!
