Skye referee John Angus Gillies has been promoted to a Grade 2 official by the Camanachd Association following a successful 2009 shinty season.
Gillies has just completed his first season as a Grade 3 referee. He scored top out of all referees from club assessments on matches earlier in the season.
His promotion to Grade 2 is based on club match assessments and reports from match assessors.
Gillies is currently recovering from a knee operation. He is back in training and hopes to take part in the referee’s training and fitness day on 17 February 2010.
