Inverness U17 won the Ferguson Shipping & Transport Inter-District Shield following the annual tournament which took place at the Dell on Sunday 30 September 2018.
The tournament was scheduled to take place at Spean Bridge with a noon start but a water-logged pitch led to a change of venue to the Dell with the start time delayed by an hour.
Badenoch, Inverness, Lochaber and Skye & Wester Ross played eachother in a round-robin tournament and all games were 15 minutes each way.
After the round robin was complete, Inverness and Skye & Wester Ross were both tied on four points each so a 10 minute one way final took place to determine the winner. However the teams couldn’t be separated so the winners were decided by a penalty shoot-out. It was still level after three penalties each so it went to sudden death before Inverness were eventually crowned winners.
Colin MacKinnon. Transport Manager at Ferguson Transport & Shipping presented the Shield to the winners and medals to both sides.
The North U17 squad was selected afterwards.
