Match Report	Report from the North Star. Ross County 3 Caledonian FC 0 Ross County enhanced their prospects of figuring in the final of the Nairn and District Cup by registering a three goal to nil victory over Inverness Caledonian at Victoria Park, Dingwall, on Thursday evening. The game was very disappointing, both depleted teams being below form. The homesters fielded no fewer than five juniors, while Caledonian had two of their regular team absent. The visitors had as much of the play as the County but they lacked the penetrative power of their opponents, who deservedly won because their forwards took the fullest advantage of almost every scoring opportunity. It was in defence the victors had a distinct superiority, Mackay and Crombie being very sound, whereas Main and Macrae were unsteady when pressed. The first half produced football of a very ordinary class, few methodical tactics being shown. Miskicking was very prevalent. After missing several chances in the home goal the visitors were forced on the defensive. On the left, Bowie cleverly eluded Munro and Main. The winger crossed a beautiful ball to Sinclair who had only to head into the net. This success inspired the County and within three minutes another goal was added by Sinclair. The centre-forward brilliantly threaded his way through the Caledonian defence to score with a low shot, which left Mackenzie helpless. On resumption play was much livelier. The visitors made many commendable efforts to break through but the County defence frustrated every movement. At this time Macmillan, centre-half, was playing the third back game with great success. His fine clean kicking up the field often turned defence into attack. Missing a great opening, Bowie made amends by finding the net with a fine individual effort. A minute later he almost repeated the performance, the rising ball going over the bar. The visiting forwards, skilfully prompted by Reid, tried hard to get to close quarters with Gillanders, but their endeavours were futile for the home custodian fielded with confidence the shots that came his way, while he received able support from his two backs and the pivot. The County’s defence again excelled with Macmillan, the best half and Sinclair and Bowie, the best forwards. The visitors were best served by Reid, who was outstanding, Stewart and Main.
