The Ross County U-18s met Hibs in a SPL League Match and came back up the A9 with a well-earned point.
In the first half, the Highland team did well and took the lead when GETHINS made space for himself and struck a fine right foot shot past the 'keeper. County led 1-0 at the interval.
In the second half Hibs struck back and within 15 minutes of the restart they cut through the County defence on two occasions to put the home side ahead for the first time in the match.
In the 70th minute County drew level when CAMPBELL scored from inside the box to level the scores.
Five minutes later Young was dismissed for dissent and this left County hanging on in the face of strong Hibs pressure.
Ross County U-18 XI: Shearer; Nicholl, Bolochoweckyj, Jack, Trialist (Keldie), Campbell, Blackley, Cowie, Young, Gethins and Duncanson (McAskill). Unused Sub: C McKay.

A penalty ten minutes from the end of time gave Hibernian victory over Ross County in the Under-18 SPL competition, at Dingwall. However, the County youngsters deserved to take more out of this game.
County chose to play against the wind in the first half and were quite comfortable at half-time with a 0-0 scoreline.
With the wind at their backs, the home side created more chances in the second half and came close when Wilson hit the post. County’s trialist striker then had the ball in the net, but a goal was disallowed for an infringement.
Although they had a lot of possession, County could not quite capitalise, and in the 80th minute they were hit with a sucker-punch, when a rash callenge from Hill led to a penalty for Hibs.
This was converted, and despite the home club’s efforts, they could not make the break-through.
Ross County U-18: Rice; Wilson, Hill, Bolochoweckyj, Nicholl (Dunnett): Campbell, Blackley, Cowie (Duncanson), Young; Trialist, and Jack (Lamb). Unused Substitute: T. Wilson.
