Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Ross County 1, Inverness Clachnacuddin 0 Ross County met Clachnacuddin at Dingwall on Saturday and defeated the Invernessians by the only goal of the game. It was not a good game. The County were too good for the Clach to raise the enthusiasm of the crowd, but what did intrigue the spectators was the way the Clach defence held the County forwards at bay against repeated attacks, including numerous goal-mouth scrambles in which luck was certainly with the Invernessians. The play of the Clach backs and goalkeeper, which was of a clear-at-any-price nature, was greatly assisted by the sterling defence of Rodgers, the professional centre-half, who was the really outstanding man of the twenty-two. Rodgers played the whole of the County forward line himself, but it must be said that he was greatly assisted by the style of play adopted by the County half-backs, who, by keeping the ball in the air when passing forward, played into the big centre-half. Rodgers did not please the crowd, but it is probable that had he worn the County colours, his game on Saturday would have been the topic of conversation for many a day. County had a new goalkeeper out, Mackay, from Beauly. By his first clearance, Mackay established himself, and his work thereafter cemented him into the position, especially his masterly clearance of a high ball from the left and another miraculous dive after a low shot fired at him from close in; none of these clearances were "flukes," they were all the work of a keen and alert player who knows his job. Albert Macrae, on whose recommendation Mackay was tried out, has done the County another good turn. The first half was played throughout in a tame fashion. It looked as if the County thought they had the beating of the Clach easily in their keeping. When it was borne in on them that they had a harder job than they first thought, some of the old dash came back to the forwards, and even the backs and half-backs went into the attack. This suited the Clach, who went into every attack fearlessly, while Rodgers gave no room to Mackenzie. Mackenzie’s luck was certainly out, but he might have been better supported and more kindly helped with the passes shoved up to him. Bowie was not in top form until Urquhart went to inside left. It was then, and only then, that the County got to real grips with the Clach defence, but this move came too late. County’s goal came late in the second half. Bowie and Ross started the movement. Ross cut out to the left with the ball and blazed a hard ball across the Clach goal, Skinner getting his foot to it to send it into the net with terrific force. The keenness of the County’s attack, coupled with the inability of the referee to take stringent measures to punish offenders, was responsible for a good deal of rough play near the close, and although no serious accident occurred, the possibility was always there.
