| Sutherland with cup |
The annual shinty match for the Kenny "Nostie" MacLeod Memorial cup was played at Thurso's Viewfirth Green between Caithness and Sutherland today. A good crowd or around 150 watched a close match with lots of action. Shinty is not for the feint hearted as three players ended up in hospital with broken fingers and a nasty ankle knock.
Sutherland took the lead in the first half against the run of play and held on until around 10 mins to go when Stewart Macrae equalised for Caithness after lots of pressure. 10 mins of extra time produced no goals. Sutherland scored once in the penalty shoot-out and that was enough to win. The Sutherland keeper had a brilliant save in the shoot-out to stop Caithness equalising.
Kenny MacLeod's widow, Marianna, presented the cup and medals. Player of the Match was Caithness's Andy Hunt.
