Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Inverness Clachnacuddin 3 Ross County 1 This game proved that either Clachnacuddin had a superb defence or that Ross County had a feckless lot of forwards. The home team therefore never appeared to be at full stretch, while their opponents appeared to be struggling all the time. Ross County are a stronger team than the score suggests, but they were simply impotent in front of goal, and missed numerous good chances of counting finally in the first half, when they had the assistance of a strong wind. That, however, might have been their downfall, for the wind played tricks with the ball and the players found difficulty in controlling it. That spoiled the game to a great extent. In the first half there was no scoring, but early after the turn-round Mackenzie counted for the Clach, and before Ross County had got over the shock, McAngus put on a second. The County pegged away, however, and ten minutes from the end got their reward when Ferguson scored one of his excellent goals. He got the ball outside the penalty area, neatly side-stepped a Clach back and drove the ball powerfully into the net well out of Macdougall’s reach. This inspired the County, and although playing against the wind, they pressed strongly. But they were out of luck and just before the final whistle blew, Mackenzie scored number three for his team with a high ball from the right wing. This was another good goal. Ross County had to change their defence at the last moment. Spence was unable to play, his injury of the previous week not having satisfactorily responded to treatment. R. Sutherland filled the vacancy and did not let the team down. The halves played true to form. In the front line Cameron was the most dangerous, with Ferguson and Miller good foragers. Neither of the outside men were on top gear, Ogilvie too often tried to beat the whole Clach defence, a formidable task.
