Lukas Geruzel scores with a header

Thurso lost 2-1 to Muir of Ord Rovers today at a sunny Dammies. Thurso were hit with a few late call offs and needed two trialists and they only had 2 subs. Despite the close score, Thurso were never in the races. Rovers went 2-0 up through Ewen Dance and John Skinner missed a penalty, before Thurso's new Polish striker Lukas Geruzel scored just before half time with a neat head flick from a corner.

Geruzel was a prolific goalscorer in the Polish 2nd Division before getting a serious injury a couple of years ago and has only just started a comeback.

Ewen Dance hit the woodwork to be denied a hat-trick and Rovers missed plenty of good chances in the second half.

Halkirk beat Alness 1-0 and so are still 1 point ahead of Muir of Ord. The Anglers only need a home win against Clach next Saturday to win the league.

Wick Academy drew 4-4 with Deveronvale in the cup, after being 4-2 up. They lost 5-4 after extra time. Both sides finished with 10 men. Ross Allan got sent off for 2 yellows.
