Thurso beat Orkney 3-2 in a friendly at a very soft Dammies today. Graham MacNab scored two in the first half and Lee MacDougal came out of retirement to score the third in the 2nd half. Thurso only had 4 regulars playing and went 2-0 up against the run of play. Orkney scored late on and missed a penalty in the last minute of the first half - goalie Bryan Robertson made a great save, low down to his left.

Halkirk's game vs Clach was postponed. Wick beat Huntly 3-2 away from home and move into 2nd place in the league, 2 points behind Cove Rangers with 2 games in hand.

Top Spec Range Rover Evoque










Took some pics of a very smart Range Rover Evoque at the weekend. It is a top of the range Dynamic SD4 with loads of extras such as special 20" black alloys, black security glass and a panoramic glass roof. It was voted the 2012 car of the year and is selling like hot cakes - there is an eight month waiting list if you want to buy a new one. Land Rover are employing more staff in order to produce the car 24/7 and meet the world-wide demand.

The pics were taken with special permission at Spittal quarry and also in the countryside near Westerdale.
