Queen of the South 2 - 4 Aberdeen

Four Goals Against Queen's A

Aberdeen A put up another fine performance at Dumfries, where they thoroughly merited their clever victory over the South Reserves. The Young Dons were on the defensive for the first quarter of an hour but after that they held the upper hand, being superior both in defence and attack.
After withstanding severe pressure in the opining stages, Aberdeen A broke away, and took the lead through Scott. This was short-lived, however, McGinlay equalising before half-time from a free-kick outside the penalty area. Westland had many fine saves in the Aberdeen "A" goal, and he was well protected by Temple and Urquhart, the latter's tackling being a treat to watch. In the half-back line Reid and Gavin were best. Reid was often in the eye, while Gavin kept a close watch on Brand.
Scott was a lively centre-forward, but he was not, too well supported. On the day's showing Bain was a better winger than Warnock, who did not reveal his accustomed dash. Best for Queen of the South "A" were Smith, Gordon, McGinlay, and Burns..
