Match Report	Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Ross County 1 Peterhead 3 No one could grudge Peterhead their victory over Ross County by 3 goals to 1 at Dingwall. They were by far the more clever side in judgment and positional play, and impressive in front of goal. Ross County had many opportunities in typical rushes towards goal, but they were almost impotent in front of goal. The Dingwall team had easily the better of the first half, yet Stewart was the first scorer for Peterhead. He beat Anderson on the run and gave Ross no chance. Townsley got the next, and Mackay reduced the leeway before half-time. Townsley’s goal was a huge kick from centre, which glanced off Anderson’s head into the net. In the second half, Peterhead were held within their own half, yet they scored again in a breakaway. Stewart, unmarked, ran in and got one of his own. Peterhead were the more stylish footballers; they combined well, were thrustful, and every man knew where to place the ball. Townsley was a tower of strength at centre-half, and his forwards responded well. Ross County were a haphazard lot. Individually they did many good things, but every effort was spoiled by overeagerness. Had they taken their opportunities, the result would have been different. Peterhead were sound in defence; Barnett and Smith were steady backs, but Townsley was the key man. Stewart was a danger every time he got the ball, and he had an excellent winger in MacKinnon. For Ross County, MacMillan was the better back. Macrae, at centre-half, played a lone battle; it was no blame of his that the attack did not succeed. Mackay was the best of the forwards, but he was asked to do too much. It may be that Peterhead had the luck, but they worked for it. The lesson to be learned is that, while kick-and-rush tactics may be profitable on occasion, they never pay against a team which plays with skill.
