Some fascinating info on here. https://www.forresmechanics.net/history-at-the-heart-of-our-town/ The league was conceived at the Inverness Workman’s Club on August 4th 1893, all the clubs present expressing an enthusiastic willingness to become part of a league. After discussing the logistical matters, the Scottish Football Association blessed the venture and The Highland Football League was born. By February 7th 1894, after undergoing the teething problems of a new venture and having lost one of the original teams from the fixture list, the League reported a surplus of five pounds. This rocky first season was concluded, and Thistle became the first champions of the Highland Football League. The league consisted of seven teams in 1893-94, those of Thistle, Caley, Clachnacuddin, Forres Mechanics, Union, Citadel and Camerons. Forres Mechanics were founded in 1884 and are the oldest Highland League side. Despite being the oldest Association Football Club in the North of Scotland, Forres Mechanics were not at the time of their formation the oldest club in the town of Forres, there having been in existence for fully two years the St. Lawrence Club.

The Highland League outfit had made their best ever start to a season winning four of their opening six games. This was the Caley Jags side that cruised through the last round beating Strathspey Thistle 6-0 with all the damage being done in the first half. The second half was just about player management and avoiding unnecessary injuries. Plenty of attacking options in this squad and good game time for those less involved in the first team games FULL TIME: ICTFC 6-0 Strathspey Thistle We advance to the next round of the North of Scotland Cup thanks to first half goals from Robbie Thompson (2) Liam Sole (2) Jordan Alonge Mitchell Robertson Robert summed up: Not much to say about that second half. Useful game time for the five young subs, more good saves by Logan Ross and nearly a last minute hat trick for Robbie Thompson, and that was about that. Forres beat Rothes 3-0 to get to this game. Their scorers on the night were: Shaun Sutherland (17) volleys us into the lead from the edge of the box! Calum Frame (76) an inch perfect ball into the box by Aidan Cruickshank finds the head of Calum Frame to double our advantage. Calum Frame again (83) Calum Frame gets his second and our third of the game! 3-0 Good win for the Mechanics using the old 'shoot on site' policy... Can the Can Cans can the can whilst doing the Can-Can as Suzi Quatro once asked in 1973? This will be a stiffer test for the Caley Jags after two 6-0 wins in previous rounds. Forres look to have a shoot on sight attitude and it certainly pays off on occasion. The Mechanics sit in the middle of the Highland League in tenth position after three wins and a draw in their opening eight League games. However, they have lost their last three games and now have a minus six goal difference having scored eleven times.
