Just hope I got the first scorer right! We ended up with only MacKay, Hyde and Lodovica (and arguably Robbie Thomson) on the pitch from our first team squad, plus four from the Academy and three first year Graduates, so a creditable result in the circumstances.

Good to have our first trophy of the season

Full time. 4-1. I enjoyed that. A lot of our senior players were taking the game in which was good to see. Clach took their goal well, and by that time our defence was totally made up of youngsters.

Mackie thumps one home in the box. 4-1.

MacKay saves a Clach penalty after foul by left back Nixon. His second good save after keeping a great free kick out at 1-0. Brooks missed a sitter at 1-0 but otherwise a lot of possession but not a lot of chances. Good fun with a noisy young crowd though.

Lodovica again. Another header. 3-0.

Lodovica brought down in box. Takes penalty himself. Keeper saves it but Lodovica taps in rebound. 2 up.

Lodovica (I think, Duffy was there too but Duffy congratulated Lodovica so assume he got the touch) header. 1 up.

Good updates Robert thanks. It was a lively game from both sides with 3 goals from Big Harry (I hope he can do the same at a higher level) Mackie's goal was a cracker and I was impressed with the performance from Robbie Thompson tonight he never gave up.

over half that clach team are from that group of 10 graduates that signed few years back.

Thank you for the updates @Robert top man.

Ta for the updates.

Half time. 3-0.

A young team! Thanks for posting as otherwise it would have been hard to work out. Shaping up to be a decent crowd. Three former players plus Hennem in the Clach team.

Unfortunately, that is a very valid point. I wish him well though and hope the fresh face can improve things behind the scenes.

Inverness Cup 'Final' The Inverness Cup has been revived and there will be a 'one off' game to decide who will look after this substantial trophy for the next year when it will all be done again between the Caley Jags and Inverness Clachnacuddin. It's a whopper of a trophy capable of holding many a dram and it was first played for in 1895 when Caledonian won the inaugural event. Last played for in season 2005-2006, Forres Mechanics are the current holders. The 'Can Cans' are the oldest association football club in the North of Scotland and are one of only two original teams to play in the Highland League since its first season in 1893, the other being Clachnacuddin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's the Inverness Cup this Tuesday at Grant Street Park, 7:30pm kick-off. Pay at the Gate (Cash or Card) £10 Adults, £5 Children/Concessions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From Am Baile: The Inverness Football Memories Project has warmly welcomed the revival of the historic Inverness Cup, which was first played for in 1895 when Caledonian lifted the trophy. Caledonian would go on to win the trophy 19 times, a record equalled by local rivals Inverness Thistle. The trophy was introduced by the Highland Football League for teams resident within the burgh of Inverness – namely Caledonian, Citadel, Clachnacuddin and Inverness Thistle. Both sides have got off to a poor start in their respective league campaigns so this game will offer the managers the chance to experiment a bit. As far as Inverness are concerned maybe the opportunity to give youth an opportunity to establish themselves and also some much needed game time for those returning from injury. Adam Brooks has missed out recently with bruising and swelling so maybe he will be able to make an impact. I would expect more game time for Keith Bray and surely Cammy Mackay will get the gloves. Anyway, it will surely be an enjoyable occasion with the added incentive of a Trophy at the end of the game. Usually a great surface at Grant Street. Come along and support this event. BARRY WILSON: “We’ll make plenty changes from our last game against Ayr. It’s important for the boys who were on the bench and some of the younger boys to get game time. We’ll make plenty changes but we’ll still have a good strong squad out.”

I know Scott well, he is a true gent and can only be good for the club

There was once a director called Scott Who gave back as good as he got And then he got an urge To go on a purge And got rid of the whole rotten lot

Clach pull 1 back.

Our best chance of winning something
