The Stags, who were not in action last weekend, will look to maintain their unbeaten home record after winning all their matches in Invergordon so far this season.

Ross Sutherland have won all three matches at The Naval Grounds this campaign.

They include a 40-10 victory over Banff in September, defeated defending champions Highland 2nd XV 20-19 in October and then thrashed Aberdeen Grammar 2nd XV 64-5.

Their impressive home form has cancelled out their poor results on the road where they have failed to win an away match so far this season.

Their defeats away from home include a 46-24 defeat at Moray and a heavy 60-12 defeat in Shetland in September.

Shetland have had a decent start to the season as they are currently in third place in Caledonia North Two winning five of their six matches so far this season.

In their previous match, they thrashed Banff 69-12 in Lerwick.

Kick off at the Naval Grounds in Invergordon is at 2pm.

Ross Sutherland have two other matches to play in November.

The Stags will travel to North Police at Kings College in Aberdeen on Saturday, November 12.

Their remaining match this month will be away to RAF Lossiemouth on Saturday, November 19.

In the other Caledonia North Two match tomorrow, Banff, who are second bottom of the division, are set to face RAF Lossiemouth who are in fifth.

Only one match took place last weekend as Highland 2nd XV thrashed Aberdeen Grammar 2nd XV 50-29.

The victory puts the defending champions at the top of the league and are one point ahead of Moray who are in second place.
