Aberdeen 10 - 2 Nithsdale Wanderers

It is unnecessary to elaborate Aberdeen 'A's" superiority over Nithsdale Wanderers at Pittodrie, the score of ten goals to two tells its own story. A crowd of about 5000 saw the Pittodrie second string in their brightest vein, and what was expected to be a keenly contested match resulted in a debacle.
By their victory Aberdeen "A" strengthen their position at the head of the Alliance League table, now three points ahead of Rangers, the latter having a game in hand.
A feature of the match was the fine form of Hill at centre forward: he scored fewer than five of Aberdeen's goals.
The game opened in sensational style, a smartly taken goal Wilson three minutes after the start giving the home team the advantage. Nithsdale replied spiritedly, and Blackwell held a shot from Lindsay. Aberdeen returned to the other end, and Hill counted with a grand drive. The Pittodrie team bombarded Coupland's charge, which again fell to a shot by Hill. Shortly afterwards Donald struck the woodwork, and then Coupland saved from Polland. In a Nithsdale breakaway the Aberdeen goal ran a narrow escape, a shot by Wilson beating Blackwell, but the post intervened. Play swung to the other end where McKenzie added a fourth goal. Although inferior in attack, the Nithsdale forwards showed some clever touches, but were palpably weak near goal. Aberdeen swarmed round the visitors' goal, and from a shot by Hill, which had struck the crossbar, Wilson headed in Aberdeen's fifth goal.

ABERDEEN RAMPANT.

Nithsdale started the second half in promising style, the woodwork nullifying good efforts by Wilson and Crawford. Not to be denied, the visitors kept the ball in the vicinity of the Aberdeen goal, and were rewarded when Welsh beat Blackwell from close range. Aberdeen quickly got into their stride, and from a McKenzie pass Hill completed his "hat trick," and a minute later Donald scored a seventh goal. The home defence had little difficulty in coping with the isolated Nithsdale raids, the Sanquhar forwards being well subdued. A long range effort by Falloon took the Aberdeen total to eight. The home side were rampant after this, and two goals in quick succession by Hill brought the home total to double figures. Just on time, in a breakaway, Wilson counted for Nithsdale.
