Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Inverness Thistle 4 Ross County 4 The Inverness Cup competition is played on the home and home principle, the aggregate goals counting. In the first game at Dingwall, Inverness Thistle won by 3 goals to 2. The return game was played at Kingsmills on Saturday. The result was a draw of 4 goals each. This gave Thistle a total of 7 goals to Ross County's 6. Thistle now meet Clachnacuddin in the second round. The game proved one of the best seen in Inverness this season. The teams were very equally matched. Thistle were the more polished, but the rushing tactics of the County paid quite as well. The Thistle goal ran a couple of narrow escapes before a fine attack by the County halves and forwards resulted in Ross County converting a corner. The home lot retaliated strongly, and after half-a-dozen raids had been repulsed by the County's resolute defence, Milne, who played one of his best games, sent over a perfect cross for Pyke to score. Milne himself scored shortly afterwards, and Pyke added a third just before half-time, when the score stood Thistle 3, Ross County 1. Thrills were fast and furious after the cross over. The Dingwall club was definitely on top and both J. A. Mackay and Calder should have scored before Gowl succeeded during a scrimmage at the goalmouth. Within a minute the County got the equaliser. The ball went to Gowl on the left of the Thistle goal. He drove across to Ross, who instantly netted. Excitement was now intense. With the Thistle more prominent, Macneil had to be on the alert to stop a strong drive by Milne. Then Thomson was called upon twice in quick succession to show his ability. He dived to save a Gowl shot and immediately he punched clear from Paterson. Offside robbed Milne of a good scoring chance, while at the other end J. A. Mackay shot yards wide of an open goal. The County got no more than they deserved when, fifteen minutes from the end, Gowl took full value from a pass by Ross and gave his side the lead. Dingwall's joy, however, was short lived. Milne took a free kick from the corner of the penalty box and flashed the ball past Macneil. Ross County struggled hard to the end. J. A. Mackay almost got through and Ross was bundled off the ball, when in the act of shooting past Thomson. Both J. A. Mackay and Calder ought to have counted before the close. Pyke and Milne did well in the Thistle attack. Robertson was the best of the half-backs, and both backs played grand football. Gowl led the Dingwall attack well, and Ross was a good second. Burnett distributed the ball well, but, although Munro and Brindle played well at the start, they fell away a good bit as the game progressed and the pace grew hotter.
