Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Ross County 4 Fraserburgh 3 These teams met in the Highland League at Dingwall on Saturday before a very small attendance of spectators, due no doubt to the counter-attractions in the North. Play opened very quietly, with Fraserburgh having slightly the better of the exchanges. Ross County, however, when they got in the vicinity of the visitors’ goal, were very dangerous. Three abortive corners followed in rapid succession. Mackenzie was the first to test Ritchie, but the shot was a soft one and easily disposed of. Cumming took a free kick, the result of an infringement against himself. He drove in a raking shot which the crossbar alone saved. Macrae followed with another great drive and Ritchie was glad to tip it over the bar. Nothing accrued from the corner. Ross County had now command of the game and it was no surprise when the score came. It was the result of a corner kick taken by Mackenzie. He placed the ball on the crossbar and went to the right wing. Tarrell was lying handy and from an acute angle he crashed the ball against Ritchie. It ricocheted off his body to the side post and fell into the net. Mackay, immediately after, from a likely position, sent the ball narrowly past. Tarrell was less anticipatory than usual. It was nice to see him cut into the centre at times, but there were occasions when he got out of position and several well-placed passes to his corner went abegging. In another spell of attack, Mackenzie, Mackay and Tarrell sent strong shots to the goal, but there was always a foot to block it. Fraserburgh’s turn was bound to come and when they took up the offensive they did so to some purpose. Both Urquhart and Anderson had a busy time and Brett was called upon frequently. The visiting forwards, however, were very weak in finishing and although each of them had opportunities they could not grasp them. One shot by G. Bell was particularly snappy, but it only brought out Brett’s good qualities. From a break-away just on half-time, Mackay got possession. He ran in, but was tackled by Watt. Both lost the ball and Tarrell, who was following up smartly, got possession. Ritchie came out to meet him and Tarrell sent the ball into the empty goal. In the second half, play became a little more interesting, not because it improved but because five goals were scored. Tarrell put his team three up. It was a peculiar goal. Mackenzie took the ball up on the left and crossed. Tarrell took a first-time kick at it and drove the ball hard against the off upright. The whistle blew and Mr. Shearer pointed to the centre of the field. Fraserburgh naturally protested, but the referee had no doubt that it was a goal. Davidson reduced the leeway with a well-taken goal. From 15 yards he gave Brett no chance. Greatly heartened, Fraserburgh improved. Brett was hurt in stopping a shot from Leslie, and limped about in goal. It was no surprise therefore when G. Bell got away on his own and easily beat the injured goalkeeper. This point was negatived immediately after, when Tarrell scored a fourth goal for the County. Near the close G. Bell brought his team’s total to three. Till the end the County had the better of matters and the final score of 4-3 for the home lot was a fair result of a slow game between two unenterprising teams.
