Aberdeen 4 - 0 Morton

The Aberdeen A team had a runaway victory against Greenock A in a Scottish Alliance match, and incidentally they played to a crowd that would not have disgraced a First Division match, about 8000 spectators witnessing a dashing and clever display. The Reserves won by four clear goals, two scored in each half, and had another legitimate goal disallowed, on account of one of the most, extraordinary incidents ever witnessed at Pittodrie. Macdonald put the ball in the net after a mix-up in the Greenock goalmouth, and when the players walked away from the goal, it was seen that three of the Greenock men - a half back, a back, and the goalkeeper - were stretched on the ground unable rise. Each of them got a rub, and when play was resumed the referee, although no infringement had taken place in the scoring of the goal, disallowed it, and awarded a free kick to Greenock, despite the protest of several of the players and the spectators. Macdonald scored the first two goals, one from a splendid forward drive from Watt and the other with a brilliant solo run and terrific shot, the best individual effort seen at Pittodrie this season. McLaughlin got the third goal - a raker, the ball sticking in the net, and Watt the fourth. Greenock were badly served in goal, and were the poorest reserve eleven yet seen at Pittodrie.
