Lochcarron and Lochaber played out an entertaining Marine Harvest North Division 3 clash at Battery Park on Friday 24 July 2009.

The home side made a great start when Scotland shinty / hurling Head Coach Fraser MacKenzie – making an on-field comeback – fired in a great opener after only 3 minutes.

Lochaber levelled after 14 minutes with a goal from youngster Pat Toal.

The home side regained the lead after 28 minutes from the penalty spot. Fraser MacKenzie stepped up and sent a rocket shot into the net.

A goal from Keith Neville after 37 minutes ensured the sides went into the break on level terms.

Neville turned out to be the match winner with a goal in 70 minutes to secure the points for the Lochaber. In the end the match could have gone either way and the evening’s entertainment was enhanced by a great refereeing display from John Angus Gillies. There were no bookings.

As for MacKenzie, a second half hamstring injury ended his game but he showed enough potential to suggest an international call up might not be out of the question!
