Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Ross County 3 Buckie Thistle 3 This game took place at Victoria Park, Dingwall, and proved most interesting. It was fought in a spirit of fairness and sportsmanship, and the spectators thoroughly enjoyed it. The result was a draw of three goals each, a compliment to Ross County, who fought an uphill battle the whole time. The game opened slowly, both teams apparently trying to weigh each other up. Mackenzie made progress for the County, but his parting shot went over the bar. Midfield play followed in which neither team could claim the advantage. Cormack beat Urquhart in a tackle, but he emulated Mackenzie with his parting shot. At the other end, Mackay failed with an opportunity which was given to him by Mackenzie. Immediately after, Stewart deflected a drive from James Ross and Wood was fortunate to be in a position to intercept it as it went goalwards. Wood was not at all sure, and it was bad judgment on his part to come out of goal when Mackenzie and Bowie were fighting for the ball. He left Mackenzie with an open goal and he made sure. This goal livened up matters considerably. The football improved, with the visitors superior in tactics. Their halves and forwards worked harmoniously together and for a time they gave the County defence a rasping time. Brett, fortunately, was in great form and he repeatedly saved his side. This spell over, Ross County attacked. Mackay forced a corner which was beautifully placed by Tarrell, but Stewart managed to kick clear after Wood had fisted out. Macrae also had a try with a shot which grazed the top of the crossbar. Wood got a fright when he just managed to get the tips of his fingers to a shot from Tarrell. The corner proved abortive. It was a surprise when Milne levelled up the scoring. He got away on the left, beat Ross on the run and shot under the crossbar; Brett had no chance. Within five minutes, Milne repeated the performance, connecting at the bottom of the post with a cross from Jas. Bowie. There was an exciting moment at the Buckie end, when for a minute the ball bobbed from head to head, until Macaulay came to the rescue and put it over. At the other end, Mackenzie was reckless when he was in a good scoring position. A corner kick taken by Mackay was kept in the vicinity of the goal until Cumming crashed it home to make the score three all. Quiet but interesting play characterised the opening of the second half. Mackay missed a likely chance, and Macrae, from a foul kick, sent narrowly over. Meantime, Bowie and Milne kept taking the ball up the wing and their centres were ever dangerous, with Calder on the alert between the two backs. A corner for Buckie was followed by three in succession for Ross County. All were cleared. Cumming got a fine pass from Tarrell and Wood was lucky to stop his parting shot. It was a near thing for Buckie. At the moment, Buckie were being held, and when Bowie got away on the left and scored with an unsaveable shot, it was more than they deserved. Buckie were now playing confidently, but Ross County was not lying down, and they swung the ball about to some purpose. Cumming tried to get through on his own on several occasions, but was crowded out. Near the close, Mackay got the equaliser. He received the ball from Ross, and rushing in, left Wood helpless. From the stand, Mackay looked suspiciously offside, but those who were in a better position to judge declare that the referee’s ruling—and he was in a position to see—was just. An exciting incident occurred in the last second, when Macaulay kept the ball out of the goal with his head, with Brett lying on the ground.
