CLACHNACUDDIN left Banks O'Dee stunned as they recorded a surprise victory in Inverness on Wednesday night.

James Anderson gave the Lilywhites the lead in the first half when he beat the offside trap to run on to Harry Hennem's ball and fired a low drive past Ross Salmon.

Hennem then doubled their advantage six minutes after the break when his strike from the edge of the box was too powerful for Ross Salmon to parry away from danger as the ball went into the net.

Banks O'Dee pulled one back with 10 minutes remaining when Kacper Lewecki nodded home a free kick from close range.

But Lewis Mackenzie restored the two-goal advantage two minutes later when he beat the Banks defence in the air to nod the ball home from close range.

Banks O'Dee were awarded a penalty in injury time but Mark Gilmour's spot-kick was saved by Daniel Rae.

The victory has lifted Clachnacuddin two points above Banks O'Dee into 12th place on 32 points.

Clachnacuddin head to Grantown on Spey on Saturday to take on Strathspey Thistle.
