Orkney basks in inter-county glory

Orkney are revelling tonight after a dream senior inter-county double win over Shetland.

Orkney’s hockey stars successfully defended the Lady Hamilton Cup, winning 4-1 to seal a 15th consecutive crown, before the county’s footballers sent Orkney into dreamland with a devastating display, winning 5-1.

The home side were 3-0 at half-time through a Liam Delday brace and a sweet 25-yard Thorfinn Stout strike.

Shetland grabbed a consolation through Paul Molloy but goals from David Delday and a second for Stout sealed a famous win.
