Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Ross County 3 Elgin City 0 A fortnight ago at Elgin, Ross County fell to Elgin City by 5 goals to 0 in a Highland League game. In the return game on Saturday, they took their revenge at Dingwall, when they defeated the City by three clear goals, and but for some lucky saves on the part of the visiting goalkeeper and a few opportunities thrown away by the home forwards, the defeat would have been more pronounced. Ross County had out their best team, except that Tarrel substituted for Mackay, in view of their Qualifying Cup tie against Peterhead tomorrow (Saturday). Elgin City, however, were without Dr Bam, their clever centre-forward. The teams which took the field were: Right from the start, Ross County took the game in hand and within one minute they had scored. It was the result of a fast run by Bowie, who sent across a beautiful shot which Mackenzie got his head to and converted. The County continued a devastating attack and Elgin resorted to kicking the ball out of play to save themselves from disaster. Elgin certainly did occasionally have a run up the field but their forwards were easily held. Sherlaw was scarcely troubled. At the other end, both Ross and Skinner had great tries and only some brilliant goalkeeping by Riddell, coupled with a slice of luck, kept the score down. The home forwards were combining well and were ever dangerous in front of goal. Both Skinner and Mackenzie had strong shots blocked by an intervening and fortunate leg. One of these returns fell at Urquhart’s feet. He never hesitated, and his shot from thirty yards left Riddell helpless. It was a great goal. Elgin, however, did not lie down, and for twenty minutes the play was more interesting and equal. Elgin attacked strongly and twice Sherlaw saved his goal by punting out with his fists. Had the visitors scored at this point there might have been a different tale to tell. Such a pace could not last and half-time arrived with the County attacking and leading by 2 goals to 0. Resuming, Ross County again took up the offensive. Bowie, who had several clever runs down the wing, on one occasion cut into the centre and shot; Riddell just got the tips of his fingers to the ball to divert it past the post. Then came Urquhart's second spectacular goal. It was a replica of his first. He had run into the centre of the field, accepted a pass back from Ross and again, from thirty yards, sent in an unsaveable shot to the top of the rigging. From this point there was only one team in it and that was not Elgin City. The County half-backs dominated the play and they seldom let the Elgin forwards past them. Their height had a good deal to do with it, their heads playing an important part in their success. Mackenzie had a great run, but was pulled up for offside—a doubtful decision. Twice Bowie just failed to reach crosses in front of goal, but it was scarcely his fault, the ball travelling very fast past him. Tarrel was very useful on his wing, but he, as well as others, found difficulty in keeping his feet, due, no doubt, to the rain which fell before the match, and left a thin soft skin on a dry, hard bottom. There was no more scoring and Elgin retired a well-beaten team.
