Young Dons Fail To Take Chances

Drop Point to Hibs A at Pittodrie.

Failure to snap their opportunities accounted for Aberdeen "A" losing a Scottish Alliance point to Hibs "A" at Pittodrie.

The Young Dons had fully three-fourths of the game, but they simply could not drive home their advantage.
A goal for the homesters fifteen minutes from the start, when Armstrong caught up with a pass-back to the visitors' 'keeper and netted, followed almost constant pressure. Yet Hibs raced away and equalised within a minute. Marshall beating Cumming with a powerful drive.
Though they improved after this, the Easter Road men were mainly kept on the defensive, and managed to hold out till the end.

Poor Finishing.

The finishing of all the Aberdeen forwards was atrocious, and the best shots came from the half-backs. Even Willie Jackson, right back, had a run through and shot. The home defence, on the few occasions the Hibs seriously menaced Cumming's charge, always held the upper hand. Jackson and his partner Sharp, Cumming in goal, O'Reilly at half, Armstrong, centre, were the best for the home side.
Hibs's sterling defence, allied to the home forwards' fecklessness, earned them a hard-won point. Watson, the League internationalist, who was "playing himself in" following an illness, was the best player afield. His work at centre-half saved his side time and again. Hill, in goal, did well, and Marshall and Malloy were the danger men in the visitors' spasmodic raids.
