Stinging in the Rain


Dundee United B came North knowing that only a win would be good enough to give them any chance whatsoever of progressing. Scott Kellacher was adamant that he wanted to continue our winning ways at the top of the KDM Trophy table ahead of the knockout stages draw which was due to take place on Wednesday, but has now been postponed as the Dumbarton v Stenhousemuir fixture has been called off because of a waterlogged pitch at the Rock. Inverness were in no mood to sit back and hit United with a sackful of goals.

With a few players rested tonight, Chanka Zimba opened the scoring in the 7th minute when Adam MacKinnon's ball played him in to find the net. He added a second after 20 minutes, assisted by Jordan Alonge. We then hit the woodwork twice through Bavidge & MacKinnon before Zimba notched his hat-trick just before the interval having been played through on goal by Alonge.

HALF TIME: 3-0

Kai Hutchison, who had a goal disallowed in the first half forced Ross into making a couple of quick saves at the start of the second half. Normal service was restored though when Alfie Bavidge fired high into the net for number 4 before Jordan Alonge with a great finish made it 5-0, James Clark with the assist. A raft of substitutions on a damp night disrupted the flow somewhat after the hour and stemmed the tide to stop the floodgates opening with Inverness. Substitute Archie Kerr had an effort saved by keeper Richards, as did fellow sub Liam Sole. Ross denied Hutchison before the end but alas for the youngsters, Bavidge got his brace to make it six with an assist from Kerr.

FULL TIME: 6-0

What a glorious feelin,

I'm happy again...

Do, do-do-do
Do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do
Do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do
Do, do-do-do


Three from Chanka Zimba, two from Alfie Bavidge and one from Jordan Alonge!

What's not to like as we end the group stages on a high.
