Buckie roll call

[Caleyjag]

Don't know about anyone else but it will be nice to see some Scottish football this weekend instead of just discussing it. Anyone else planning on going? MrCaleyJag and I will be there.

[RossP]

I should be there. If so, I'll make sure and keep the updates coming!

[WYNESS101]

I'll be there +1

[Guest Mahonio]

RossP, can you keep me updated please, i'll PM you my number or will you update my via facebook?

[Renegade]

Just out of interest, why are the club bothering to play a club that's a bit out on a limb. The town doesn't even have a train station.

Wouldn't ICT be better off playing Nairn like County are instead. They might get a bit of a bigger crowd for that as well.

Report from http://www.highlandleague.net

Buckie Thistle had the ball in the back of Ryan Esson's net twice in the opening stages but both were ruled our for offside. Firstly Andy Gardiner saw his celebrations stopped short then a Bob Duncan free kick took a slight deflection off Shawn Scott who was also adjudged to have been illegally placed.

Inverness Caley Thistle took the lead in the 23^rd minute when Richie Foran slipped in Shane Sutherland and the former Wick Academy striker fired it through the legs of Kevin Main to find the back of the net. Half Time 0-1

ICT doubled their lead ten minutes from full time when youngster Martin Laing turned onto his left foot and shot past Darren Strong into the bottom corner of the net from 18 yards.

Buckie pulled one back in the 85^th minute when a corner lead to a stramasch in the penalty area to which new signing Neil Robertson restored order, poking home his first goal in green and white.

Full time: 2-1
