Pentland Utd vs Kirkwall Hotspurs



Ross Allan scores the only goal of the match



Pentland Utd beat Kirkwall Hotspurs 1-0 today in the Highland Amateur cup at Ham Park.  United had most of the play in the 2nd half (against the strong wind) but found the Hotspurs keeper in fine form. Plenty of strong tackling and a few players limped off. Ross Allan eventually found a way past with a low drive into the corner of the net with only 10 mins left.

Castletown beat Kyleakin 4-0 at the Dammies in Thurso (pics to follow) and Thurso Acks beat Stromness 2-1. Halkirk beat Thurso Pentlands 4-2 after extra time. Pentlands were winning 2-0, but Halkirk clawed back the 2 goals to edge the tie in extra time, just like the last round against Wick Thistle.

Wick Academy beat Rothes 5-0 away from home. This equalled their best ever away score.
