Halkirk Utd won the North Caledonian league in dramatic style today at The Recreation Park, Halkirk. They needed a win against Clach A and were 2-1 down after 90 mins. However they scored two goals in added time to win!

Clach scored a penalty in the first minute and The Anglers misfired throughout the first half to stay at 1-0 down. Gavin Henderson scored a penalty early in the 2nd half after Martin Banks was pulled down. The Anglers then had the best of play when Clach had a player sent off  and should have scored 2 or 3 goals, but Clach had a rare breakaway and scored with 10 mins left.

In the 91st minute full back Stuart Florence scored with a rare header and substitute Chris Sutherland sent the large crowd wild with the winner in the 94th minute.

There will be a few sore heads tomorrow after the celebrations.

Wick drew 1-1 with Cove Rangers. Thurso lost 3-2 to Dingwall. Caithness RFC lost 18-3 to Aberdeenshire, but escaped relegation.
