I caught the first half of the Thurso Acks vs John O'Groats league game at the Dammies last night. Acks had all the best play and were a comfortable 2-0 up at half-time. Mid way through the half Paul Wares crossed the ball to an unmarked Chris Sutherland who side footed it past James Richard. Paul made it 2-0 just before half-time with a stunning shot from just inside the box that flew past James Richard into the top corner.

John O'Groats scored one in the second half and I hear that there was heated debate when ref Bob Gunn booked an Acks player for attempted hand ball on the goal line. The ball hit the post and not the hand. The play restarted with a drop ball a few yards from goal and Acks managed to clear it.
