Aberdeen 6 - 1 St Mirren

Young Dons in Scoring Mood at Pittodrie.

Aberdeen "A" had little difficulty in annexing both Alliance League points at the expense of St. Mirren "A" at Pittodrie.

The Paisley side made a semblance of a fight in the first half, though they were distinctly fortunate to be on level terms at the interval.
Armstrong, the home centre, who scored a personal triumph by notching four goals, gave his side the lead in fifteen minutes, the Saints' equalising goal, scored by Smith during a snap raid, was quite against the run of play.
The Young Dons fully emphasised their superiority after the cross-over by rattling on five goals, Armstrong helping himself to other three, and Adam and Love each getting past the overworked visitors' 'keeper.
St Mirren's second string were not really a bad side. On occasions they combined very cleverly, but lost several splendid chances through over-anxiety.

Deadly Centre.

Armstrong was in deadly mood, all his goals being cleverly taken. Love and Johnston, the home extreme wingers, were ever dangerous raiders, and Adam, inside-right, was a subtle purveyor.
Joe O'Reilly, who made a welcome reappearance, added strength to the half-back line, which was the despair of the visiting forwards. Anderson, the recruit from Stonehaven, again pleased the crowd with a fine display. The home defence was more than equal to the calls made upon it.
Saints impressed most in defence, in which O'Hara was a clever 'keeper. McCabe was the best of the halves, and Philip, Black, and Smith were the danger men in a somewhat spasmodic attack.
