| Match Report | Report from the North Star. Ross County 4 Service XI 3 On Saturday last they met and defeated a Services team at Dingwall, in the first round of the Ness Cup competition, by 4 goals to 3. There was quite a good display of football. The home team, however, had the craft, and led by three goals to two at half-time. In the second period play was again thrilling. The Services made great efforts to secure victory, but ultimately had to retire defeated by four goals to three. For Ross County the scorers were Hood (late of Peterhead), Nicol (late of Huntly), Rosie and Moffat. The Services marksmen were Paterson, Ferguson and Hazel (penalty). |
