Acks vs Halkirk








Thurso Acks beat Halkirk 3-2 after extra time tonight at the Dammies - in the first round of the Eann MacKintosh cup.

Halkirk went 1-0 up after 10 mins (Mark Munro) and were in control for the first half, but there were no real chances.  Acks equalised a few minutes into the 2nd half when the Halkirk defence fell asleep at a quickly taken free kick. It was a pretty even 2nd half and Acks scored with a penalty in 85 mins. A defender pulled a shirt in the box to stop a clear scoring opportunity. David Blackwood was sent off for protesting too much. Halkirk went up the pitch and Paul MacKay equalised with a bullet of a shot from the edge of the box.

I had to leave during the first half of extra time, so missed the winning goal.
