Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Buckie Thistle 1, Ross County 1 The result of the Highland League game at Buckie between Ross County and the local Thistle gave the County much-needed confidence. To come out of Buckie with one point is a real triumph, and when the team that takes the point has not been doing too well, the credit is all the more. County were not expected to win, nor yet draw, but it is true that the County, on a day of high wind, secured the lead five minutes from time and looked set for retaining it, until, with the proverbial seconds to go, Buckie secured the equaliser from a corner kick. A win certainly would have flattered Ross County, but undoubtedly they were worthy of a well-merited draw. The dour defence they offered against an almost continuous bombardment, and their lively and dangerous forward thrusts, earned them their point. Ross County opened the game with the assistance of the gale. Buckie quickly took command and the whole County defence was constantly in action, the forwards at times coming to their assistance. Gradually the Ross men found their feet, and it was then that the quick upfield rushes of Mackenzie (Ardgay) on the right spelled danger to Buckie and gave his own men the needed confidence. Ross, in the visitors’ goal, was another inspiration, and although before half-time County were under continual bombardment, they held out. With the wind, the impression was prevalent that Buckie would absolutely overrun their opponents. Buckie did do a deal of over-running, but the County also performed an heroic piece of defending. From goal out, the Ross men realised they were up against it, and consequently pulled out that little bit extra—so vital under the circumstances—which allowed them to even open the scoring. The ever-alert Mackenzie once more got away, beat his man, and finished up a fine solo effort with a goal. Buckie quickly replied. A corner was forced, well placed, and Milne beat Ross with an unsaveable header. These last five minutes were of the truly thrilling order, and brought to memory the closing minutes of the Qualifying tie between the same two sides on the same ground, when Buckie forced a replay through a disputed penalty—a replay which they comfortably won at Dingwall. Mr. Wm. Sutherland, Inverness, was referee, and at one period he demonstrated the correct method of throwing-in the ball to a County wing-half. This caused the crowd some amusement and even gave Mr. Sutherland the honour of having his name and his action feature in a widely read daily column of a well-known and popular football critic.
