Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Ross County 1 Caledonian FC 3 Favoured with a slight breeze, the County attacked from the start. Cumming and Tarrell showed fine understanding, but Mackenzie could not take advantage of the crosses. Play was keen, but there was little or no danger in front of either goal, and defences easily kept their lines clear. Caley had the first real try, but Mackay fielded the ball confidently. Garrow gave Bowie a chance but the wind carried the ball out. Garrow next had a try on his own and Mackenzie was fortunate to get his foot to the ball at the bottom of the upright. Macrae, taking a foul kick close in, narrowly missed. The wind was an important factor. Ross County were kicking too strongly with the result that the ball was persistently being sent wide. Tom Anderson gave away a corner, but the danger was eventually cleared. Cumming and Garrow were both hurt and the latter had to be attended to on the line. Bowie was finding the footing difficult and he had one dash which was nullified by his slipping as he was about to shoot. Garrow signified his return to the field with a rasping shot, which Mackenzie was glad to tip over the bar. Urquhart also tried several lobs, but Mackenzie could not connect. He was well watched by the backs, who gave him little rope. Then, all against the run of play, the visitors scored. Twice Davidson got away on his own. On the first occasion he shot feebly past, but he made amends immediately after. He had a perfect run on the right. Stewart could not reach him and he crashed the ball into the net from close in. Mackay had no chance. Encouraged by this success, Caledonian played with more confidence and when Kinnaird beat Mackay, the score could not be grudged. Ross County were out of luck. They were playing well in the open, but Gemmell and Stewart frustrated all their efforts in front of goal. Just before half-time Cumming reduced the leeway. Tarrell sent the ball across, Mackenzie trapped it and shot. A lucky foot intercepted it but Cumming caught the rebound and easily netted. Play deteriorated very much in the second half. Early on both Macrae and Bowie sent in likely shots. Then Purdon was hurt. He had been tackled by Urquhart. He fell to the ground in evident agony. He had to be removed to the Pavilion, where it was found that he had been struck on certain nerves which semi-paralysed the leg. He was unable to resume. Tempers now became frayed and there was a good deal of ungentlemanly play on both sides. From the spectators’ point of view this completely spoiled the game. Playing with ten men and for a period with only nine, the Caledonian made a valiant fight. The defence particularly was extraordinarily good, and towards the close the backs simply defied the County attack, in which even the backs took part. Only one goal was scored and that was not by the County. Again it was the result of a break-away. This time by Mair, who had no difficulty in beating Mackay from close in. The visitors deserved their win because they took advantage of the few opportunities they got, and because of their handicap owing to injuries.
