Hamilton 3 - 0 Aberdeen

Donald Injured in First Half and Unable to Resume.

The Young Dons, who played all through the second half with ten men, gave a plucky display at Hamilton but had to admit defeat by three goals to nil.

The ground side, with a strong breeze in their favour opened brightly, and Cox scored in the first minute. Cumming was repeatedly tested, and his masterly saving was a feature of the first half. Adam made strong efforts to score, but he lost a glorious opportunity just on the interval when, with only Shevlin to beat, he shot yards wide.
Donald wrenched his ankle ten minutes before half-time, and was unable to resume. With a depleted side the Dons stuck grimly to their work, but Cumming had to acknowledge defeat immediately after resuming, a shot from McLaren beating him all the way.
Westland was also injured, and was receiving attention from the trainer when Hamilton got their second goal.
The Dons created a good impression by a plucky and virile display against strong odds. Just on time Hamilton scored again through Reid. It was a needle contest, with the points going to the more convincing and penetrative side. The Dons had little hope of success after Donald was injured.
