The Shinty Round Up – Wednesday 2 June 2010. | |
04 June 2010 There were two matches played on Wednesday 2 June 2010. Glenurquhart were 9-2 winners in their Strathdearn Cup second round tie against Boleskine at Farr. The Marine Harvest North Division 2 reigning champions were too strong for a side which plays their shinty in a league below. Stuart Morrison bagged a hat-trick for the Glen with a Gregor McCormick double and Ewan Brady, Daniel MacKintosh, Kelvin Mackenzie and David Smart getting the others. Glenurquhart now have a home tie against Newtonmore in the next round. Carlsberg don’t do Marine Harvest North Division 2 derbies between Kingussie and Newtonmore but if they did, they might well model the event on this 9 goal thriller at the Dell. The game got off to an explosive start with 3 goals in the opening 4 minutes. Kevin Thain put the home side ahead on 2 minutes and Rory Borthwick made it 2-0 a minute later. However Newtonmore’s Ackie MacRae reduced the deficit with just 4 minutes gone. A double from ‘More’s full forward David Wilde on 29 and 33 minutes completed his side’s recovery and gave the visitors a 3-2 interval lead. Wilde completed his hat-trick on the hour mark to make it 4-2 but Thain notched his second 3 minutes later to make it 4-3. Wilde took his personal tally to 4 goals when he scored again on 72 minutes but the Kings fought back and Rory Borthwick scored his second on 83 minutes which left the home side trailing 5-4 and set up a grand stand finish. There was no further scoring though and Newtonmore returned to the Eilan with both points. |
