All the results from lots of sport in Thurso today



Lots of sport in Thurso this afternoon. I snapped the action at the following matches;

Caithness RFC U16s vs Ross-Sutherland (22-22)
Caithness RFC vs Aberdeen University (24-14)
Thurso vs Halkirk Utd (0-3)

The U16s were up against some very big lads from Ross Sutherland, but got stuck in and came away with a fighting draw. I only watched about 25 mins, but was impressed with the overall standard and commitment from both teams.

The senior team made heavy weather of the match and were only 17-14 in front with one minute to go - before Evan Sutherland clinched a try and a vital bonus point to lift the team off the bottom of the league. The sigh of relief from the crowd could be heard on the other side of town!

The team were wearing their new kit for the first time. - sponsored by the Comm Bar, Norscot, Dunnett's Transport and Highland Travel Inns Ltd (The Weigh Inn & Ferry Inn).

Halkirk had a very comfortable game against Thurso in front of a large crowd at the Dammies. Chris Sutherland and Martin Banks scored in the first half and Martin scored again with 10 mins to go. Thurso sub Derrick Shearer was sent off mid-way through the 2nd half after sending Martin Banks about 4 feet in the air with a lunging tackle on the edge of the box.

The Wick Academy management team was watching as the Scorries had no match today.
