Halkirk Utd beat Thurso 4-1 at a very wet and windy Dammies today. Grant MacNab scored first for Halkirk and Marc MacGregor equalised. Jack Halliday scored from a very suspicious offside position to put Halkirk in front just before the break. Thurso had most of the play in the second half (playing with the strong wind) but could not score. Sub Martin Banks scored two brilliant goals late in the game to secure the points.

Thurso's Lee Elder was sent off mid-way through the 2nd half for a headbutt aimed at Nigel MacKenzie (who was booked). Grant MacNab had to be carried off after a nasty ankle injury. The pitch was surprisingly firm, but it was still heavy going and very slippery for the players. There were a few very wintery showers throughout the match (I got soaked) and the crowd wasn't as large as expected - probably as most thought the game was postponed.
