Semi-Final push for last Cup win

--- Anglers ---

Halkirk United's quest to be crowned North Caley cup kings continues in the village tomorrow when they aim to make their fourth final out of four.

Saturday's Jock MacKay Memorial Cup success adds to the Port Services Cup already secured and they are going all out to make it a hat-trick by lifting the Football Times Cup.

The Anglers have an extra incentive of defeating Muir of Ord Rovers in tomorrow's semi as Recreation Park is to host next Saturday's final.

They will tomorrow welcome back midfield powerhouse Gavin Henderson from suspension though defender Colin Sinclair is sidelined after going through the disciplinary points threshold.

Otherwise, their squad should be along the same lines as the one which scored the 5-2 extra-time win over Thurso.

Given the lack of other football and rugby in the county, United is hoping for a big crowd tomorrow for the game which kicks off at 3 p.m.

Muir are the only visitors to have taken anything from Halkirk this season - a 2-2 draw in the second game of the season.

Otherwise, the Anglers have a perfect record of 10 league and cup successes on their own patch.

United's three trips to Muir ended in a 1-1 league draw and two cup victoires.

Tomorrow's other semi sees Golspie Sutherland travel to Helmsdale to take on Bunillidh Thistle.
