High Ormlie Hotspur's reign as Highland Amateur Cup holders is over after an injury time penalty sent Lerwick Spurs into the last eight of the competition.

The Halkirk outfit took the lead on the stroke of half time when Kuba Koziol put the holders in front.

Lerwick Spurs fought back in the second half and equalised seven after the break thanks to a strike from Connal Gresham.

The game looked to be heading into extra time until the Shetland outfit were awarded a penalty.

Gresham maintained his composure to fire home from 12 yards and break High Ormlie hearts.
