Caithness RFC vs Exiles (22-23)

The Caithness Exiles beat Caithness 23-22 with a last gasp penalty from man of the match Liam Brims (Falkirk RFC). The match was entertaining and hard fought with crunching tackles and some fisticuffs for good measure. The Greens had most of the ball in the 1st half but could not get the points apart from a try by Hamish Coghill. Liam Brims waltzed through the Greens defence to score a try and also converted, to give the exiles a 7-5 half-time lead.

The exiles went 20-10 up, but Caithness roared back to take the lead 22-20. Brims scored the winning penalty with 1 min left. Eilidh Cadzow presented the Sinclair Cadzow Memorial Trophy to Brims.

Thurso vs Invergordon

Thurso lost 4-1 to Invergordon at the Dammies today. Thurso took the lead but Invergordon scored twice in a minute, late in the first half to go 2-1 up at half time. Thurso were never in the race in the 2nd half and did not test the Invergordon keeper once.

Thurso vs Golspie (1-2)

Thurso lost 2-1 to Golspie on a very soft Dammies pitch. The players were sliding and slipping all over the place. Golspie, with lots of Caithness based players, took the lead early on and could have been 3 up by half-time. Golspie increased their lead early in the 2nd half and looked comfortable. Thurso slowly got into the game and Steven Morris scored with a looping header with 15 mins left. Lots of pressure at the end came to nothing.

The tackling was hard and there were plenty of yellow cards flashed. Thurso used all 5 subs to cover for injuries. Jack Fidler suffered a bad knee injury near the end, due to a studs up sliding tackle.
