I caught the first half of the Halkirk vs Invergordon cup tie yesterday (before heading into Thuso for their match with Golspie and then the Caithness RFC vs Mackie Academy match).  Halkirk played with the strong wind and sun behind them and cruised into a two nil lead courtesy of Marc Gunn.

Invergordon got one back 5 mins before the interval. Halkirk goalie Asa Sinclair jumped with Invergrodon's Alan Kerr to catch a cross ball. The ball fell behind them and bounced into the net. However, it looks as though Kerr accidentally fell onto Asa's lower leg as they landed. Asa had to be stretchered off and taken away by ambulance.

Chris Sutherland took over the jersey. Marc Gunn scored his third in the 2nd half, but Invergordon won 4-3.
