SHETLAND’s mixed hockey inter-county team beat Orkney 1-0 at the Brae hockey pitch on Saturday afternoon.

In a closely fought match that could have gone either way it was Gary Sutherland’s goal scored late in the fourth quarter that was enough for Shetland to retain the Joan Nicolson trophy.

A field hockey game is in progress. Players in red and blue jerseys are near the goal, with some players attempting to score and others defending. The goalkeeper is on the ground. The umpire stands nearby.
