Wick Academy secured their third win in four matches as a dramatic finish saw the visitors score twice in the final minutes to steal all three points.
In blustery conditions where both sides found it difficult to take control of the game, Clachnacuddin looked like they had done enough when Mark Dougal fired into an open goal on 79 minutes.
But with three minutes to go, The Scorries equalised through substitute Craig Shearer who headed in a corner from Richard Macadie.
The amazing turnaround was complete on 89 minutes as Stevie Cunningham fired a 30 yard thunderbolt past goalkeeper Steven Dunn that rattled off the underside of the bar to seal an unlikely but welcome win.
Clachnacuddin - Dunn, Dougal, Milne, Scott-Woodhouse, MacLeod, Callum (MacDonald 74), Finnis, Graham (Kennedy 79), Pollock, Urquhart. Subs not used - Harrison, Brindle, Day.
Wick Academy - Gray, Sinclair, Steven, Farquhar, Manson, Macadie, Cunningham, Ross, Weir (Shearer 86), Mackay, D Allan. Subs not used - Hughes, R Allan, Mackay, Bokas.
