Shinty Cup - Caithness vs Sutherland














The Caithness and Sutherland shinty teams battled it out on Viewfirth green today for the Kenny  "Nostie" MacLeod memorial cup. It was the first time that the cup was competed for. Sutherland (in the white strip), were well on top in the first half, were 5-3 up and missed a penalty early in the second half. Caithness had the wind in the backs for the second half and played a stormer to score 3 goals and win 6-5. They missed several chances and could have score 10.

Caithness put on a substitute late on and he proved the hero with two late goals. However, he had to go off after being hit in the jaw with the ball travelling at high speed. I suspect his jaw is broken, the smack was heard by everyone at the green.

There were two teams of first aiders at the match. I'm not surprised as the game is the roughest and most dangerous I have come across. Most wore helmets (and some with face visors), but a few brave souls didn't have any protection. I didn't sit behind the goal line, in case I got hit by the ball!

The man of the match was Caithness forward Katie Booth, one of several girls on the pitch.

The cup was presented by Kenny MacLeod's widow Marianna, to her daughter Isabel and team captain Ewen.
