SHETLAND’S women’s football team have thrashed Caithness Ladies to make it through to the Highlands and Islands League Cup final.

The blues raced into a 4-1 half-time lead through goals from Rhea Nicolson, Sadie Anderson, Freya Leslie and a Josie Mitchell penalty.

Nicolson grabbed her second early in the second half, with further goals from Inga Inkster and Miley Watt sealing an eventual 7-2 win for Shetland.

They will face either Sutherland or Orkney in the final, which is set to be played in Nairn on Sunday 14 September.
