This resumes on 4th August. The same 17 clubs are competing. We endured a dreadful campaign last season, finishing last! Hopefully, a year on, our youths can perform better, as I understand last season much of our team were boys who'd just come 'up' from the U17s.

A couple of pre-season games soon - the first-team have St Mirren on Saturday while the 'U20s' head to Lossiemouth the same afternoon.
Similarly, the following Saturday Inverness CT have a 'double header' with games at Nairn and Wick, with presumably the youths heading to Caithness.

Guys, I'm thinking of coming from Dundee for this one. Problem is, I need to get to rail station for the 20.15 to Perth. Bit concerned that if the game started, or ran, late, I might miss my train. Next one's the following morning. Anybody care to offer me a lift to the station after the match?

We are winning 2-1 at half time. I have no idea on teams or scorers though as I got that info from Bet365 inplay betting.

Twitter suggests Ferguson scored both

3-1 now

Finished 3-1

Maybe it's time for Calum Ferguson to get a run in the first team to be honest. 

Given that we have no proper forwards in the first team squad, wee could certainly do worse.

If he's fit, whys he not at least been on the bench?

 I suspect because the manager wishes to give the impression, to put pressure on the board to loosen the purse strings, that we are short of players.

If he's fit, whys he not at least been on the bench?

He has been injured. This was his first game back for the development team.

In case anyone's interested, I made it back to the station in time to catch my train. Eventually arrived back in Dundee at 11.30pm. Thought it was a good game. The boy Ferguson took his goals well and the trialist showed a fair burst of speed to outrun the defender for his goal.

John Hughes sportingly berated the ref for his decision to send off Cammy Kerr for two fairly trivial bookings. A real pleasure to talk to Dens legend Bobby Wilson who was at the match with his son, Barry.

Nice wee ground Clach have there. Particularly amused by the '!947/48 Clean Sweep Enclosure'.

My (fairly biased) match report is on the official DFC website.

He has been injured. This was his first game back for the development team.

According to the posts on this thread he played and scored last Tuesday too.

As Iain said this was his first game for development team. He played last week in North of Scotland cup not Development League. I believe that was his first game after being out injured for four months.

Tomorrow was 'supposed' to be a free-week for us, but I've noticed that we're now playing Rangers at 6pm at Dumbarton.
This Rangers game was originally scheduled for 15th September, but we also have a game on the 16th September at home to Wick Academy in the North Cup semi-final.
I wonder if we requested a change of date? Instead of having no fixture tomorrow, then back-to-back games on 15/16 September, this seems more sensible.

Edit. Actually, I'm probably being naïve - would the SPFL and Rangers really 'bend' for us, to accommodate a North of Scotland Cup semi?!

I find it quite bias but expected nothing less tbh 

Looking at the highlights we did create some chances but, just as with the first team, we failed to score. Thought the keeper should have saved their first goal

Ross County v Inverness CT - Global Energy Stadium, 6pm this tuesday.

 

Currently 1-1 in Dingwall - I'm not there, but Bet365 have the latest scores on their website. We opened the scoring on 13 minutes but County equalised on 17 mins.

The best informant of the development league (bet365) tells me we are winning 3-2 after 67 minutes.

We went 2-1 after 35 minutes then scored on 49 and 54 to make it 3-2

Thanks guys, things are looking up !
