County fought back but excellent saves by McRitchie denied them. In 43 minutes County's Campbell was sent off after a gesture to McKenzie.
Half Time: 0-1
Numbers were level in 50 minutes when Caley Thistle's Andrew also received a red card after bringing down Grant. Andy MacLeod equalised from the resultant penalty.
In 62 minutes a Robertson cross-cum-shot was turned into his own net by County's Somerville to give Caley Thistle the lead.
McRitchie saved magnificently in 73 minutes from a Grant free kick and two minutes later Robertson deservedly scored number 3 - a 25 yard drive after an electric run from his own half.
Full Time: 1-3
What a goal to end the scoring in this first ever Highland derby.
