Halkirk Utd vs Golspie

6 goals, 3 sent off and at least 10 bookings ( I lost count) should have meant a cracking game, but it was the least enjoyable game I have ever watched. The game wasn't even that dirty as far as tackles went.

Every decision against Golspie was met with vigourous dissent by their players (and officials) and the ref duly got the yellow and eventually the red cards out.  I think most of their team landed in his black book and a few Halkirk players were also added . Golspie got 2 sent off and Halkirk's Gavin Henderson also got his marching orders (all late on in the second half).

Halkirk won 4-2, with Grant MacNab, Martin Bain, Liam Bremner and Lee Elder scoring. Golspie scored first with a high looping ball that caught out keeper Graeme Williamson (last 2 pics).

Thurso beat Bonar Bridge 5-0 and Wick Academy drew 3-3 in Nairn, by scoring the equaliser with 2 mins to go. It was Wick's first away point of the season.

Caithness RFC had a free weekend due to the Scotland vs New Zealand match (Scotland lost 3-49).
