Thurso beat Golspie 1-0 in the top of the table clash at the Dammies in Thurso today. Graham MacNab scored early in the first half with a simple tap in - after a mix up in the Golspie defence.

The first half was fairly even with chances going to both sides. Alan Sinclair had a cracking daisy cutter saved by Golspie keeper Gordy Macrae, who didn't know much about it as it was so fast. Golspie striker Shane Sutherland looked really sharp and caused the Sinclair brothers lots of problems. He had some good efforts at goal and Graeme Williamson had one superb save at the end of the half from a snap shot by Sutherland. There was lots of juicy tackles and surprisingly only 3 were booked in the first half.

Thurso hardly troubled the Golpsie goal in the 2nd half as the Sutherland side turned up the heat in trying for the equaliser.  The Vikings managed to hang on despite the onslaught and now go three points clear of Golspie.
