Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Ross County 1 Caledonian FC 2 This game took place at Victoria Park, Dingwall, where the visitors won by the odd goal in three, or rather two soft goals to a brilliant one. Caledonian deserved it, if only for the impenetrable defence they put up in the last half hour against an attack doing everything but score. Ross County did not deserve to lose. They could and should have won. That sounds paradoxical, but it is true. Caledonian never secured two points more easily; Ross County never so generously yielded two points. Causes, reasons, excuses can readily be ascribed to certain players, and some doubtful tactics were indulged in by several. The spectators demonstrated considerable ill-will and as the referee retired, he was subjected to a certain amount of barracking. Ross County supporters, however, are very circumspect and order was easily restored. From start to finish it was a hard-fought game. Territorially Caledonian were the more methodical, pressing forward with clean, quick and well-timed movements. Ross County, on the other hand, played the long passing game, effective if not spectacular. When Caledonian did score in the 18th minute, it just about represented the difference between the teams up to that point. But it was a soft goal. Maclennan shot from about 15 yards and the ball made its way through a myriad of legs to find the net. For some time after the visitors dictated the play, but Ross County survived and retaliating strongly, took up the attack. It was successful. A cross by Macbeth was blocked, but Ogilvie pounced on the ball and landing it on Rankine's head, the latter neatly deflected it into the corner of the net with Sutherland helpless. Ferguson next came into the picture with a great shot which Sutherland was glad to tip over. By this time the County were superior and shots by Macbeth and Ferguson were both highly probable counters but for Sutherland. Then disaster befell the County. With Caledonian pressing, McCrory passed back with his head to Newton, who was deceived by the flight of the ball, which slowly rolled into the net. McCrory cannot be blamed; neither can Newton. He was in perfect position to clutch the ball, but when it struck the ground it seemed to go off at a tangent. There was no scoring in the second half. Caledonian got away on many occasions, but were easily held, but seventy per cent. of the play took place in front of the Caledonian goal. How it escaped is a miracle and credit must go to the defenders. Rankine, Macbeth, Ferguson and Ogilvie, all had good tries, but no luck. Sutherland was always there at the last moment, and when he failed he received able support from the cross-bar and uprights.
