Today's Highland Amateur Cup quarter final replay, between Halkirk and Avoch ending with a 3-1 win to Avoch. Halkirk were 2-0 down after 46 mins, scored a goal mid way through the second half that was given by the referee, but the linesman saw an infringement off the ball and it was disallowed.
The Avoch keeper then saved a penalty, but could not keep out the follow up, thus setting up a grandstand finish. Avoch went down to 10 men and the game boiled over with some rough tackling and frayed tempers. Avoch scored late on with a free header and despite being urged on by the large crowd, Halkirk could not get another goal.
Castletown now play Avoch in the semi-final. The Kirkwall Thorfinn vs Wick Groats semi-final match was postponed to 1st August due to the heavy rain.
