Aberdeen 2 - 0 St. Johnstone

Played at Pittodrie. Teams:- Aberdeen: Barrett; Willox, Mackie; Low, Thompson, Robertson; Harvey, Cruikshank, Caie, Shiach, Edgar. St Johnstone: McKirdy; Denholm, Owen; Rintoul, Wallace, Brown; Hynd, Arnot, Roberts, McGregor, Kermath. Referee - Mr. Gillespie, Larbert.

In the first half, in which no scoring resulted, the game was dull and uninteresting, but as the interval approached a promising attack was made by Aberdeen. The Saints, however, got off, and Arnot had a beautiful shot, taken on the run.

Aberdeen resumed in spirited style. After Caie and Shiach both had off-side goals, the latter took advantage of a mistake by Orr, and netted the ball for the homesters. A few minutes later Robertson accepted a cross from Harvey, and scored a second goal. Gate, £25.
