Owing the wretched, conditions obtaining yesterday, the Cup semi-final tie between Aberdeen "A" and Huntly had to be abandoned after 66 minutes' play, Aberdeen A leading by 5 goals to 2.
Huntly, with the wind, played excellent football in the opening quarter of an hour, and gave quite as good as they got. After however, they fell away, and Duncan beat Weir from close range, after the ball had bobbed from head to head. A minute later Forbes slipped through the defence and scored a delightful goal, the ball travelling away from the custodian into the corner of the net.
By this time the rain was coming down in torrents, and the ground was being badly cut up, with pools of water settling here and there. With the insecure foothold, play deteriorated, and the ball became too heavy for the visitors, and the conditions were in favour of the more experienced side. Goals came quickly. Grant being the next marksman. Accepting, a pass from Pirie, he shot for goal from an acute angle.
Duncan put Aberdeen four ahead. The pass he received from Grant from near the touchline, however, went more than a foot over the goal-line, but was carried back by the wind. A goal-kick should have been signalled before the point was scored.
From edge of the penalty box, Duncan registered his own third and Aberdeen's fifth. Close on half-time Ferguson outran Ritchie and scored a lovely goal for the visitors.

snow was falling heavily when the second half started, and continued to fall throughout. Aberdeen did the bulk of the attacking, and the visitors' goal had numerous hairbreadth escapes. With the soft ground, players were sliding all over the field, and the heavy ball was difficult to send any distance. Forbes sent a header against the crossbar from well out, with Weir completely beaten.
Huntly were occasionally dangerous, and on one of their spasmodic raids, took the home defence by surprise and reduced the leeway. Farquharson carried the ball down field and crossed to Charles, who beat Pirie on the run. Cunningham came out of his goal to intercept him, but the Huntly centre, from 30 yards out, shot the ball over his head and it went into the net.
When Main had taken a comer, about 20 minutes from time, the referee stopped the game, with the score at 5-2.
