notes

The GH lists the (otherwise unknown) Richardson at the expense of our regular half-back (Bob) Robertson. Adding to the confusion, the EC serves up another unknown in Richmond. We've stuck with Bob Robertson in the meantime, but will keep an eye out for a Richardson or Richmond coming in to the narrative at this time.

Match Report

TTA report

3rd round bye. A keenly contested match with play swinging from end to end. Suter scored an early goal but Kilmarnock equalised then took the lead before Buchanan scored late on to earn a replay at Rugby Park. A fair reflection on the play. “A hard and fast one…the strangers had the best of it” (GH).
