Aberdeen for County Final

The match was played in a dense fog, which made it impossible to follow the play.

Fog almost totally eclipsed the replay of the Aberdeenshire Cup semi-final between Aberdeen "A" and Huntly, at Pittodrie Park, Aberdeen, on Saturday, and those spectators who, tin he second half, at any rate, caught a glimpse of the ball oftener than once every five minutes were fortunate. When the final whistle went, few of the spectators could have told that Aberdeen "A" had won by 8 goals to 2. At times, even the Aberdeen forwards could not tell which of their colleagues had netted. When the game started, the light was comparatively good, but, in about quarter of an hour players in the distance resembled phantoms. The fog gradually became denser, and, in the second half, after a player had run about 20 yards he was lost to view entirely. In the second half the only indication that the spectators at either end of the field had of a goal being scored was the vociferous cheering and the sound the referee's whistle coming from the other end. Towards the close, each time the spectators saw the ball was an occasion for loud applause from the section of the crowd to whom the ball was visible. Aberdeen "A" led by 3-0 at half-time, and increased their lead before the end to goals 8 to 2.
