Sutherland Women will take on Buckie in the final at Station Park, in Nairn on Sunday.

In their debut season last year, Sutherland were crowned League Cup winners for the first time when they beat Clachnacuddin 3–2 in the final.

Sutherland says her team are ready to defend their crown and win the trophy for the second successive year.

“Getting through to a consecutive cup final is a massive achievement for us as a club and one that we are very proud of,” she said.

“A cup final is a very special occasion and I feel privileged to be the one who will be leading the team out.”

“There is a huge buzz within the team, and we are all up for the game,” she added.

’As a team we are constantly striving to be better and cannot wait to step out onto the pitch on Sunday and put all our hard work into practice.”

The Scottish Women’s Highlands and Islands League Cup final on Sunday has been made free entry.

Scottish Women’s Football have said in recognition of the rising cost of living and the travel costs faced by supporters of Sutherland WFC and Buckie Ladies Development, they have made the game free to enter at Station Park in Nairn, with a 2pm kick off.
