Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Ross County 0 Caledonian FC 0 Ross County hosted Inverness Caledonian in the first round of the Inverness Cup on Saturday, and the result was a draw, with no goals scored by either side. The County are the current holders of this trophy, which is played on a home-and-away basis, where the highest aggregate of goals scored decides the winner. Caley are a formidable side with a fine reserve of players, and the County did not take them lightly. But once again, the County attacking machine failed. Clever on the ball, they had the better of their opponents throughout, but they could not find the net. Many fine moves were spoiled by the ball going to the wrong man. Sometimes the pass was too far in front or too far behind, or when that did not happen, a Caley player intercepted it. Mackay’s move to the outside-right position in the second half was an effective change, but Cameron, in the Caley centre-half position, was too tall and too clever for the inside forwards. He robbed them of the ball time and again, while Ross, the left-back, was another defender whom the County forwards could not overcome, with Charlie Cameron finding this sturdy back just a shade more than he could always contend with. The second half was dominated by the County. Seldom was Scott troubled, and both Urquhart and Anderson ably coped with any Caley attacks. Ramage was particularly effective with his heading and his long, swinging passes to both wings, which gave ample opportunities to the attack. However, there was a decided lack of enterprise in the County forward line, and although they gave Mackenzie, Macdonald, and Ross a harassing time, they could not get the ball past the former. Corner followed corner for the County, but with the same result. Glorious chances went begging, and one was left longing for an Aird to finish them off. Had one goal come along, it was likely that the County would have scored more, but that elusive goal could not be found, and the game ended with the County still on the attack and Caley stubbornly defending at all costs. At one period in the second half, Referee Maclean, who handled the game with splendid control, found it necessary to warn the Caley defence for needlessly kicking the ball into touch to waste playing time. Throughout the game, there was a lack of sparkle from both sides, and the match never drew forth much enthusiasm. The County defence was sound. Anderson strengthened the defence greatly and was a decided help to Urquhart. The half-back line worked hard, but Ramage was the only one of them who was accurate with his passes. R. Macleod was particularly good in the tackle but too slow in getting the ball away. A leader is required to wake up the forward line. Aird is sorely missed, and it is hoped he will be in his place when the teams replay at Inverness. Caledonian have an excellent goalkeeper in Mackenzie; Ross was the better back, while Dave Mackenzie, an old County man, although slower, is still as forceful as ever. Keith Davidson, another ex-County star, was well-held by R. Macleod but put in some useful work.
