| Match Report | Report from the Ross-shire Journal. Elgin City 4 Ross County 2 This was not a very exciting game, although no fewer than six goals were scored. Elgin won comfortably in the end, but the City did not reproduce the form they showed against Fraserburgh the previous Saturday; neither were Ross County a shadow of themselves against Forres Mechanics. Elgin City had out a new centre in George, the Bishopmill junior. He was not a success, although he scored a goal. He was both slow and somewhat timid. Penrose, Cormack and Mackenzie, his colleagues in front, kept slipping through passes to him, but George could make nothing of the visiting defenders. Elgin's halves lacked their usual effectiveness, but the backs were sound, and Parle gave a creditable show in goal. The visitors showed great want of enterprise and at no time did they look capable of turning the tide, or of even keeping their own end up. Goalkeeper Mackay experienced great difficulty in clutching the greasy sphere, and he was somewhat to blame for the second goal. Anderson was a shade ahead of his partner at back, and Urquhart and Garrow were hard-working halves. Mackenzie showed promise at centre-forward, and Tarrell was a speedy right-winger. There was little or no life about either team, although Elgin City revealed glimpses of clever combined play. George put them ahead after fifteen minutes, and Cormack added another in half an hour. Elgin were generally attacking, and Logie headed home a third goal from a corner. Ross County improved after the interval, but Elgin were the first to score, Penrose beating Mackay from close in. The visitors staged a revival towards the end, and Tarrell and Urquhart softened the bitterness of defeat. Parle had really no chance with either of the goals. |
