SHORT PASSES.
The Black Diamonds have donned the war paint again and opened their season at the Torry grounds. They made a grand first appearance, half-time result looking all in their favour. The ground men pulled together and eventually won a pleasant match by 6-3. With a few more matches and a little training the Diamonds will make themselves felt. The Vics, partnered a new man with Turner, and both played a capital game. The newcomer's name is Binks.
