Halkirk Utd vs Muir of Ord Rovers



Martin Banks scores Halkirk's first goal on the stroke of half time



Halkirk Utd beat Muir of Ord Rovers 3-0 in the cup semi-final today. The first half was mostly played in a hail storm and a howling gale. At least it didn't rain!

Martin Banks scored in the last minute of the first half as Halkirk played into the wind. Alan Larnach scored mid-way through the second half with a 30 yard screamer into the top corner. Chris Sutherland scored in the last minute with a delicate chip over everyone.

Rovers had a few yellow cards, a sending off and their manager was sent to the stands for protesting too strongly about the sending off.

The Utd team was;

1 - Graeme Williamson
2 - Colin Sinclair
3 - Stuart Florence
4 - Alan Sinclair
5 - Gavin Sinclair
6 - Martin Cook
7 - Alan Larnach
8 - Jack Halliday
