Match Report	Report from The Banffshire Herald. Keith 6 Ross County 2 Keith improved their chances of escaping the wooden spoon of the Highland League on Saturday when they registered a decisive win over Ross County by six goals to two, while Clachnacuddin, their partners at the bottom of the League, lost to Buckie Thistle. As this was the first visit of Ross County to Keith, much interest was taken in the game and there was a good turnout of spectators. Both teams were under strength. The ground was soft and treacherous, which militated against good play. Keith were the first to get going. The home forwards were showing up well and worrying the Highlanders’ defence, which put up a stout resistance. Keith have to thank their forwards for the win, as the defence was none too sure when under pressure. Once the County got settled down, play was of a very even nature, but towards the end of the half, Keith took the upper hand and Grant opened the scoring, and shortly after, the centre again found the net when he accepted a pass from Mair. Soon after, Morrison, the County right winger, slipped and twisted his ankle and was unable to resume. Although thus handicapped, the visitors played up gallantly and several times had hard luck in not reducing the leeway, Cameron being especially unfortunate, two great shots being stopped by the woodwork. Keith went further ahead when Mair was on the spot to take a rebound. Just before the end of the half, the visitors made a great rally and Young netted from close range. In the second half, Keith continued to have the better of matters, but the visitors went down fighting. Handicapped as they were in attack by the absence of Morrison, they often broke through the Keith defence, but Thom was in good form. Penrose added another to Keith's total. He took the ball through the defence and a fast grounder gave Cross no chance. Shortly after, during a hot attack on the visitors' goal, Cross partly cleared and Mair, fastening on, sent home. Ross County rallied after this and Young walked the ball into the net, but Grant immediately replied with another. For a period, the County set all sail and were awarded a penalty, but the spot kick struck the crossbar and was cleared, and minutes later, from a free kick outside the box, Young rattled the bar. Keith deserved their win and the presence of Morrison would not have saved the County from defeat. The game again demonstrated Keith's great weakness in defence.
