Match Report	Report from the North Star. Caledonian FC 2 Ross County 1 INVERNESS CUP—FIRST ROUND GAME ABANDONED—COUNTY PLAYERS LEAVE FIELD. This second meeting of the Caledonian and Ross County at the Telford Street Park, Inverness, on Thursday evening, had an unusual ending, when the County players left the field in protest, with twenty minutes of play remaining. That the game came to such a crisis was due to the manner in which the homesters were awarded their two goals and other incidents that punctuated the proceedings. The opening stages saw the visitors easily the superior team, and that the Caley goal did not fall on two occasions was due to the greasy ball and the bad footing which prevailed. However, Cowie put the County ahead with a perfectly placed header. This infused much more interest into the game, and everything ran out now on fairly even lines, the homesters being roused to greater efforts. Then when Cameron, the County’s outside left, seemed almost certain to score, Cameron, the home pivot, badly grassed him. The appeal for a penalty was ignored. Once this incident passed off, players became more settled, and the exchanges again assumed the old phase, a dour struggle for mastery, with the County having the advantage. The next trouble developed just on half-time, when in a raid on the County goal a melee took place, and although it seemed as if Urquhart cleared the ball before it came near the goal line, the referee awarded the homesters a goal. The County strongly objected to the giving of this point, and lodged a protest, also alleging that three minutes extra were played over the stipulated time, and that it was during that time that the goal was scored. The resumption witnessed players on edge, but no untoward happening called for stern action, although Riggs came under the official’s ban for fouling Cowie. Much more aggressive, the County harassed their opponents, and Mackenzie’s citadel underwent many narrow escapes, the treacherous ground playing no little part in the bad finishing of the visitors' forwards. Then came the climax. In one of their few visits to Scott, Whitton, on the home left, obtained possession, and eluding Anderson he raced right on to the byline. In centring, the ball seemed to pass over the line but returned into play by striking the crossbar, from which Mackay easily netted, because the County players had stopped on the previous sound of the whistle. However, Mr. T. Maclean, Inverness, again awarded a goal. This was strongly disputed by the County players, which ended in Ramage being ordered to the pavilion, followed shortly afterwards by his clubmates. Of the play that did take place, the County were easily the more polished eleven, and what saved the homesters was the sterling defence of Ross and Macdonald, ably backed by Mackenzie in goal. For the County, from goal outwards, everyone gave a refreshing display, the only weak line being Macleod at outside right. Urquhart was the essence of coolness and on his best form, while the halves—Traill, Ramage and Macleod—had generally the measure of the opposing forwards. Cowie was the star artist among the forwards. There was no greater grafter on view than Stewart, while Mackay at centre played well. At outside left, Cameron revealed some of his old touches.
