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.

2-4 into time added on.

I believe Ali Sutherland scored two, and a header from Wedderburn.

Vigurs scored our fourth goal.

Raffa Da Vita scored both Staggies goals

Final score:
Ross County 2-4 Inverness CT

 

Thanks for the updates. Nice to have a spot of good news today.

On the topic of the development squad. I spotted this on the SFA's list of deadline day transfers:

'Kane John Stuart Hull | Inverness Caledonian Thistle to Strathspey Thistle | Development Loan'

From the SPFL website :

Inverness CT came out on top in the Highland derby, beating Ross County 4-2 at the Global Energy Stadium thanks to a double from Iain Vigurs and goals from Nat Wedderburn and Ali Sutherland. Tony Dingwall and Raffaele de Vita scored for County.

Vigurs hates the County 

Vigurs hates the County 

The let him prove it and score against the big team.....

No scheduled games for us until the 29th September - but there is a game in Wick next week (Tuesday 15th September, 7.30pm) in the North of Scotland Cup semi-final.
Originally meant for the Caledonian Stadium, it's been changed to Harmsworth park, Wick. The other semi is Nairn v Forres.
As it's not a Development League game, we can play any team we choose - perhaps could feature a few of the guys returning from injury?!

Wick Academy 2-1 Inverness Caley Thistle

We took the lead through Jaime Wilson on 12 mins, but Wick went in 2-1 ahead at the break, with no further goals in the second half.

It was very much our Development side on display, with the only players to have featured at all in the first-team being Ali Sutherland and Calum Ferguson.
Wick will play Nairn or Forres in the final next month - they've never won a trophy since coming into the Highland League ranks, so good luck to them when their big game comes around.
(That sounds patronising - it's not meant to be!) 

Seems to be a game scheduled for next Thursday.

FT - ICT 1-1 Kilmarnock.  We equalised with a 95th minute goal.

Talk was the number 9 was the new trialist by the way.  He looked nothing special.

Excellent! Bet365 had it as 0-1 on their live streaming...

Dunfermline away tues at EEP. Unfortunately it's a 6pm ko so I won't make it. Even if I could I wouldn't fancy the Edinburgh bypass in the rush hour.......
