Pentland Utd vs Kirkwall Thorfinn

The first semi-final of the Highland Amateur Cup was played at the Dammies in Thurso today.  Pentland Utd beat last year's champions Kirkwall Thorfinn 4-1 after extra time. 

I was at the County Show and caught the second half onwards.  Kirkwall were 1-0 up at half-time, but in the 2nd half it was all Pentland Utd with Kirkwall hardly getting near goalie Michael Gray.  The Kirwall right back was sent off for a tackle on substitute Ross Allan (2nd pic). After numerous missed chances, Tony Farquhar eqaulised with a powerful header - which I missd as I was wiping the rain off my lens! The 1st pic shows his celebrations.

The game moved into extra time in constant rain conditions.  Ross Allan missed a penalty (3rd pic), but made up for it with two goals in the 2nd half of extra time.  Garry Macleod got the 4th with the last kick of the ball.

The 2nd semi-final is next Saturday between Golspie Stafford and Lochs.  The final is on the 7th or 14th August.
