Mixed hockey team retains inter-county trophy

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.
