Richard Macadie has revealed that he was sure his 200th competitive goal for Wick Academy would come in Saturday’s game at home to Fort William.

Caithness United U13s rounded off their fixtures in the west section of the Moray Firth Youth Development League with a fine 5-0 victory over Alness.

Outgoing manager Russell MacMorran is convinced Fort William will climb away from bottom spot in the Highland League by the end of the season.

Manager Tom McKenna hailed Richard Macadie as “professional through and through” after the attacking midfielder scored his 200th goal for Academy.

Wick began 2020 with a win that was convincing enough in the end, but they didn’t have it all their own way against a spirited Fort William side.

Tom McKenna is predicting a bright future for Wick Academy after giving three 16-year-olds a taste of Highland League action in the defeat at Buckie.

Halkirk United manager Ewan McElroy praised the work ethic of his team after they came from behind to beat local rivals Thurso 2-1 at Morrison Park.

Wick Academy’s last game of 2019 ended in a 4-0 defeat at Buckie that was disappointing but, in the circumstances, hardly surprising.

Wick boss Tom McKenna insists his players will not be lacking in self-belief as they head to Victoria Park for Saturday's match against Buckie.

Thurso manager Stevie Reid expects some festive fireworks in Saturday's Caithness derby at Morrison Park.

Tom McKenna admitted the home draw with Clachnacuddin on Saturday was typical of Wick Academy’s lack of consistency this season.
