Goalkeeper Signed By Dons

RESERVE' GOOD WIN.

There was a big crowd at the match last Wednesday against Stirling Albion Reserves. It was quite an entertaining game which the Young Dons deserved to win, and it was unfortunate that one of the visiting defenders came under the ban of the referee.
Our trialist goal­keeper impressed everybody present (his handling of the ball being particularly impressive) so Mr Halliday, acting on the principle that you can always be doing with another "good-'un", fixed him up for the club. Most will have read the goalkeeper is William Herd of Markinch.
