Match Report	Report From the North Star. Ross County 4 Army XI 5 Ross County were at home to a Services Eleven in an Emergency North of Scotland League match at Dingwall on Saturday last. Ross County opened the scoring in the first five minutes by a goal well taken by Nicol. End to end play followed, County having the better of the exchanges. County’s second followed a good piece of work by Macbeth. Services secured their only goal of this half through Gerrard. The score at half-time was 3 goals to 1, Nicol scoring County’s third. It was thought that Ross County had a good lead and that the second half would see an increased score. On the resumption, however, County turned out with their players in different positions, Moffat exchanging places with Macbeth. Soon after the commencement County added their fourth goal through Moffat. Services now attacked with vigour and were rewarded when Spence, under pressure, scored against his own side, the ball going in off the upright. County seemed to slacken off and Services were not long in equalising by scoring two further goals, Paterson being the marksman on both occasions. Real cup-tie football followed, each team striving their hardest to get the winning goal. Some good football was observed, with Nicol to the forefront as a forceful attacker. The odd goal fell to Services, being secured from a penalty awarded for an infringement by Forsyth inside the area. Hazel made no mistake with the kick, sending a forceful drive to the back of the net. The teams played forceful football to the final whistle with no further scoring. Ross County had serviceable players in Morritt, goalkeeper, who made his first appearance, displacing the regular custodian, who has joined up; Boyle at back; and Nicol in the attack. Services had a team which played together, and Paterson, in the forward line, was perhaps responsible for his club’s victory, his two goals being well taken.
