Fraserburgh 0 - 0 Aberdeen

There was a big crowd Bellslea Park to watch Fraserburgh's Highland League encounter with Aberdeen "A"; and it was well worth watching, being one the best games seen on the local ground this season. The Fraserburgh club has been rather disappointing for some time past, falling an easy prey to teams whose football was amateurish in comparison. On Saturday, however, strengthened by two reliable exponents who have just returned from the English fishing, they shook off this aforetime lethargy, and put heart into their supporters by giving a great display against Aberdeen's capable second string. No goals were scored, and a draw was index of the merits the respective sides, neither showing superiority. The defence of both teams beat the attack throughout, with the result that the custodians had not much to do. Play was keen and fast, and both halves were very evenly contested.
In the Fraserburgh goal, Anderson made no mistakes, and two of the outstanding men on the field were the brothers Bain, the backs, who played into each other's hands admirably, and kicked with power and judgment. The halves worked like terriers. McKay, in particular, being a thorn in the side of the opposing attack. The forwards were an agile and active lot, with the bulk of the work falling upon the right wing. Turner, indeed was provided with few opportunities, and was not much in the picture as usual.
For Aberdeen "A," Cunningham was safe in goal. In collision with a Fraserburgh back, he was injured at the end of the first half, but was able to resume. The backs played a strong forceful game, clean kicking being a speciality with them. Pirie was the best of a good half-back line, and Main, Berstad, and Ritchie took the eye most among the forwards. Several opportunities of scoring went a-begging through aimless shooting at close quarters.
