Hibernian 3 - 0 Aberdeen

FOR want of a sharpshooter Aberdeen reserves lost the points to strong-going Hibs at Easter Road.

They were equally as impressive and had Hibs bewildered before and after the interval, but could not get the better of Kerr, in goal, who defied their many attempts to wipe out a two-goal deficit.
This period was Aberdeen's best and they battered Hibs defence, but with heart-breaking futility.
The strong division of the team, Bakie, Thomson, and O'Neill, prompted their forwards and subdued Hibs, but to no avail.
O'Neill scarcely put a foot wrong and he repeatedly split Hibs defence to let Kiddie progress, but the winger, although testing Kerr with his shots, might have crossed the ball or put more force into his deliveries.

Rodger Held

Rodger, like other centre forwards, found Aird a difficult centre half get past and McNeill, although often slipping the home defence, had little support.
Curran did all that was asked from him, and for the three goals which beat him he can blame the men in front.
Bruce and A. Rodger did not have a bad game, but they had fatal lapses.
The goals which Lawrence and Gunning scored were the result of weak covering up, and Clark's opening penalty goal was a result of Bruce's over-anxiety.
