Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Ross County 3 Peterhead 3 This was a poor game at Dingwall, and certainly Peterhead did not give a display worthy of a team with championship ambitions. Ross County should have had the game won in the first half; they would have lost it but for the intervention of the time limit. A few minutes more and Peterhead might have been laughing. Peterhead never seemed to get smoothly to work. On occasions there were some nice movements between the halves and forwards, but there was no finality to it. George Buchan was distinctly off form. Ross broke up most of the attempts and when he was passed, Newton was very safe. Spence was the better of the County backs; Cowie might get another trial. Ross was a good centre-half and James Macdonald improves with every game. G. Sutherland is too impetuous. Ferguson was the only constructive forward and the only one to make scoring opportunities. Ogilvie, as usual, worked hard, but had no luck. Urquhart has and can do better. First-time should be his motto. Clark was the better of a weak right wing, but both he and Cabrelli were very tired long before the end. Ross County were more impressive at the start, with Urquhart spurring down the line. His crosses went abegging. Within four minutes Clark forced a corner. Taking the kick himself, he literally placed it on Ferguson's head, and the latter never gave Scott a chance. Ross County were now on top and the Peterhead defenders had to be on the alert to keep them out. Three corners were forced in quick succession. The first Urquhart sent bye; his other two were splendidly placed, and it was with difficulty the danger was cleared. George Buchan was good with his head, but erratic with his feet. Clark had a good try but his shot was tipped on to the crossbar by Scott, who was fortunate to hold the rebound. Then all against the run of play Peterhead equalised. J. Buchan sent the ball across from the right. It struck Macdonald and was deflected into the net. Ogilvie got an opportunity of scoring the like of which he will not get again for long. Urquhart sent across a peach of a ball, and Ogilvie had nothing to do but beat Scott. He dallied and Middleton robbed him and cleared the danger. Over-eagerness spoiled many scoring chances for the County and many a time strategist Buchan placed the forwards offside. At half-time the score was one all, and Peterhead was extremely lucky to be in such a happy position. There were lively exchanges at the opening of the second half. A long shot by Ferguson was misjudged by Scott and Ogilvie landing handy found the net. Inspired Ross County attacked strongly. Peterhead got flustered and Strachan gave away a foul. Spence came up to take the kick, 25 yards from goal. His powerful kick sent the ball high up into the rigging, with Scott vainly trying to touch it. Peterhead, two goals behind, became desperate. They put up a devastating attack, but Ross, Spence and Newton defied all efforts, until Anderson, on his third attempt, drove the ball through a bunch of feet to find Newton unsighted. Ross County still had spells of pressure, Scott had to be on the alert. These shots however were coming from too far a distance. Anderson got the equaliser with his head. Then, for the first time, the spectators saw some good play. Both teams went at it hammer and tongs, with Peterhead being the more effective. Play ruled from end to end, but there was no more scoring. No one can grudge Peterhead their point. They deserved it for their persistency and tenacity in the second half.
