COUNTY HIT BACK
ROSS COUNTY U-18 1; Dundee 1

For the match against Dundee, County U-18s were missing one or two regulars and in the circumstances thay can be well pleased with a 1-1 draw.

Regular striking pair of Connor Gethins and Darren Jack were out through injury and illness respectively, George Keldie was injured and Alec Lamb was suspended.

A re-jigged County side still gave as good as they got in the first half with the honours even.

Early in the second period, Dundee took the lead when a cross from the left was deflected into his own goal by defender Michael Bolochoweckyj.

County had a large part of the play, and after a spell of pressure drew level in the 70th minute. Craig Young set up Craig CAMPBELL on the left and he cut inside to place a well-hit shot past the keeper.

County came close to grabbing the winner late on when the 'keeper mis-handled a shot from Douglas Blackley but he quicly recovered to clear the danger.

Ross County U-18 XI: Shearer; Crilly, Guild, Wilson, Bolochoweckyj, Cowie (J McKay), Campbell, Blackley, Duncanson, C McKay (McAskill) and Young. Unused Subs: Nicholl.

IT'S SNOW JOKE
Dundee U-18 4; ROSS COUNTY U-18 1

Ross County U-18s started their match in Dundee playing into a fierce blizzard.

Defending corner kicks was almost farcical and County found themselves two goals down in the first five minutes.

However they managed to weather the storm for the remainder of the first half which settled down to a fairly even affair.

Any hopes County had of reducing the deficit were destroyed with a further two-goal burst from Dundee early in the second half. Both counters followed hesitancy in the defence and from then on it was an uphill task.

Although Darren JACK pulled a goal back for County, and they also hit the woodwork, it was too late and the matchfinished 1-4 to Dundee.

Ross County U-18 XI: Shearer; Nicholl, Webb, Bolochoweckyj, Wilson, Blackley, Keldie, Young, Campbell, Jack and Trialist. Sibs: Duncanson, Hill, Lamb and Rice.
