The UK Pro Surf Tour held the Scottish Open Championships at Thurso East on 30th & 31st Oct. The open champion was Jayce Robinson with Alan Stokes runner-up, Taz Knight 3rd and Toby Donachie was 4th.  There were champions in the ladies, juniors, boys and girls events.

I took pics on the first day only and caught the junior and open classes in action.

Caithness RFC U18s vs Ross-Sutherland (0-22)

Ross-Sutherland's 2nd try

last minute try

Caithness RFC U18s lost 22-0 to Ross-Sutherland at Millbank yesterday.  The Greens were unlucky to lose by such a wide margin as they gave the vastly more experienced Ross-Sutherland side a good run for their money and more than held their own. They were losing 3-0 against the strong wind and sun until Ross-Sutherland scored a converted try in the last minute of the first half.

The blues scored a try in the first few minutes of the 2nd half to make it 15-0 and it stayed that way until the last minute of the game when they got another converted try.

Thurso beat Alness Utd 4-0 at the Dammies today in a league match. Sandy Sutherland scored late in the first half and Graham MacNab scored the second within a few minutes. Steven Morris got the third early in the 2nd half and Sandy Sutherland scored the 4th late on.

Halkirk Utd had no match. Wick beat Fort William 3-0 to go top of the Highland league, as Brora beat Edinburgh City 3-2 away in the Scottish cup.

Caithness RFC lost 31-14 away to Strathmore.
