Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Ross County 2 Inverness Clachnacuddin 4 The Ross County-Clachnacuddin encounter at Dingwall on Saturday was anything but a thrilling affair. In fact, the play of the Ross County eleven did anything but inspire their supporters, and at times it was hard to believe that the County headed the Highland League table, so dilatory and inept was their performance. Clach. won by four goals to two, but they also took little credit from the game. True they got the goals and were more able to push home their advantages when chances turned up, but it can be said that the football of both teams was much below Highland League standard. Ross County, throughout the game, were at sixes and sevens. Their halfback line never got a grip on the opposing forwards, while the home forwards to say the least of it, were a sorry lot. They lacked leadership, and when the formation of the team was changed, the change came too late, and probably was not of any advantage to them. Wood, in the half line, played a strong game, but this was discounted by his inclination to wander into the centre of the field, while, on the other hand, Macdonald with Forsyth, were too harassed to be of any use as an attacking force. In fact, rarely did Forsyth get out of his own penalty box. At inside right, Fraser was never in the picture. Mackay, at inside left, worked hard, but got little response from Urquhart. Black the best winger afield, received the ball but twice in the second half; he was nearly as much starved in the first half. Applegate, in goal, was safe. Munro and Sutherland were overworked in the back division; it was not a fair tryout for young Sutherland. Clach, against wind and sun, started off briskly. Within five minutes young Munro put them one up; another goal by Roy, gave them what seemed a comfortable lead. However, before halftime, goals by Murray and Urquhart put County on level terms. At the opening of the second half, County raised hopes of staging a revival and finding their form, but these hopes were quickly dispelled. Mackintosh, with a fine shot gave Clach. the lead, and just on time, the same player made the points secure for the Inverness team. This was a game which County will want to forget, and one which will set the County Committee thinking as to their best formation. True, Barrie might have steadied up the side had he been there, but all over, the form of the majority of the players was too bad to be true. They can all do better and it is hoped that it was a general County off-day. In the Clach. side, interest centred chiefly round Baxter, their right half, who goes to the famous Glasgow Rangers next season. A fine, upstanding player, he did not greatly impress.
