Aberdeen 3 - 0 Buckie Thistle

After strenuous opposition from Buckie Thistle, Aberdeen gained the County Cup for the third successive year at Pittodrie on Saturday, when their superiority was represented by a 3-0 victory. The Aberdeen side included Colman, Soye, Wyllie and Scorgie, of the league eleven, and Buckie had the assistance of R. C. Hamilton, the famous international centre forward. The game was keenly contested throughout, and the losers put up a much better fight than the adverse score would indicate. It was only after Aberdeen got their second goal, after 65 minutes' play, that the superiority of the winners became pronounced. Up till that point, it had been anybody's game, with the whole Buckie side playing well. After that the superior training of the winners told against the losers, and Aberdeen were left comfortable winners. There had been exciting incidents at both ends before McLeod opened the scoring for Aberdeen after half an hour's play. This goal divided the teams at the interval, but ultimately Scorgie and McIntosh got through a tired defence, and added further goals. R. C. Hamilton had a great try for Buckie near the close, but Barclay ran out and saved cleverly. The attendance numbered about 2500.
