North of Scotland Cup
With the Caley Jags offering home advantage to Strathspey Thistle, this first round tie was played at Seafield Park on a blustery Tuesday night in Grantown on Spey. Strathspey Thistle are sitting in the middle of the Highland League table and came into this game off the back of a 3-0 win over Huntly at the weekend following on from a 2-1 win at Turriff United. The Caley Jags have made a slow start in the Championship with three draws before a dismal performance at Ochilview on Saturday saw us go down 3-1 to Stenhousemuir.
A young Caley Jags side took to the field with a smattering of seasoned campaigners. Roddy MacGreror, Luis Longstaff, and Dan Mackay were the more familiar faces with young striker Keir Miller getting a rare start. Aaron Doran's Strathy Jags were confident after their recent wins and Robbie Thompson, Shaun Morrison and Kyle MacLeod will test our young defence.
The hosts took a one goal advantage into the break with a goal from Shaun Morrison and that's how it finished.
Good luck to Strathspey in the next round.
Match Detail
A lively start from both sides with Dan MacKay missing the target with an early header and Kyle Macleod shooting wide for the hosts. They missed a great opportunity after 25 mins when Tom Kelly's curling cross found Shaun Morrison on the edge of the six-yard box, but he shot over. Morrison made amends eight minutes later after former Caley Jag Robbie Thompson's shot was initially saved by keeper Logan Ross, however Morrison was first to react and crash home the rebound from close range.
Inverness pushed for an equaliser in the second half, coming closest when Sam Thompson played MacKay through, but his effort was well stopped by Dylan Maclean in goal. Despite late pressure, including a powerful 20-yard strike from Roddy MacGregor and a dangerous free kick from Luis Longstaff, Maclean kept a second clean sheet on the trot against a predominantly young Caley Jags XI and into the second round they go where they will face Nairn County or Rothes.
FULL TIME: 1-0
