Nairn County 0 - 0 Aberdeen

Considering that were without three of their best men they did very well to draw with Aberdeen "A," both failing to score, for Aberdeen, Bruce impressed the spectators, and if he had had more support from the half-backs, the game would probably not have ended in draw. As it was, the only dangerous shots which seemed to puzzle the custodian came from Bruce. The other forwards had tries, but they were from too far out. The first half was the more interesting of the two, and Aberdeen had the best it. However, Mitchell and Farrell were in their best form, and it was only occasionally that the ball reached McKenzie. In the second half, Nairn improved, and Cunningham on two or three occasions came to the rescue of his side. In the closing stages Nairn came very near scoring, but Cunningham again had a brilliant clearance. Of the forwards Bruce was easily superior. Of the defence, the Nairn pair were superior in the full back position, and McRae, Nairn, was the best half-back on the field. The goalkeepers both did well, both retiring with a clean sheet, although Cunningham, Aberdeen, had most to do. The standard of football was good, although the second half was spoiled by the strong wind.
