GOLSPIE Sutherland and Bunillidh Thistle are set to clash in a Sutherland derby on Saturday as the North Caledonian League is set to resume after its winter break.
The two teams, who are at opposite ends of the table, are set to play against each other at King George V Park with kick-off at 1pm.
Golspie Sutherland are in title contention this season after a good start to the first half of the campaign. They are in third place in the league on 33 points.
They are nine points behind current league leaders Halkirk United, but do have two games in hand.
Bunillidh Thistle have found their return to the North Caledonian League tough in their comeback season.

Bonar Bridge are also set to return to action tomorrow when they travel to Tain to face St Duthus.
The Migdale outfit have already beaten their points total of last season as they look a much improved team this season.
