Dons Do Well at Kirkcaldy
TWENTY-ONE goals for the loss three. That is the Dons' record for the three matches they have played in the North-Eastern League Supplementary Cup competition.
At Kirkcaldy they defeated Raith Rovers by 6-2 in the semifinal, and they were worthy winners.
The Dons had bad spells in this game, but they also had long periods in which they moved with machine-like precision. Often they had the home defence reeling.
Hard knocks were given and taken. Rovers' methods were rugged, but they were up against a defence which had perfect understanding and excelled in positional play. AH the Dons played well, with Dunlop the most artistic half and Ferguson the schemer in attack.
Rovers were a moderate lot, with Donald, the Aberdeen junior, and Robertson their best men.
