    Yes another great result after another long trip.

    Great to see a young local side doing so well and playing some really great football.

    Next Saturday's replay will be one of the biggest games at the Harmsworth for years.

    Well done Wick, and Cedric, you found Caithness ok didn't you? And so did R L Stevenson, he was from Edinburgh, and that was before the days of Sat Nav, don't worry if they want directions I'll point the way

    Great result! will be good if a big crowd turns out for the replay. Cause if they win it could be Celtic Park or Ibrox in the next round.

    it should be £6 for adults unless the scottish cup is different prices compared to the highland league, hopefully we will get a crowd to come along to cheer the scorries on, the crowd in edinburgh yesterday was fantastic

    Hopefully theres a big crowd next week & the boys dont get stage fright- they certainly used to in the 90`s , crowds of 1000 & they would lose gallantly!!!
    The fourth round is when the big boys come in , It would be brilliant if Celtc or Rangers were here , the pubs would benefit as would several business`s for a few days. And Wick police would crap themselves

    Academy played really well yesterday and were unlucky not to win it at the end. The teams were evenly matched, and it should be a good game at The Harmsworth on Saturday. But I think one of the Academy boys gets married this coming Saturday, so while that's good news for him, it's not good news for hopes of Scottish Cup glory!There was a good crowd of Wickers at the game - which was played in appalling conditions.

    He did get married and we had a wonderful day! No doubt that was the reason for the return result!!
