He is also enjoying a particularly successful domestic season for the Scottish Hydro Premier Division champions, having recently won the Scottish Hydro Camanachd Cup when he won the Albert Smith medal as man of the match.
The Scots travel to Athy, Co. Kildare, Ireland for the first fixture on Saturday 22 October 2011 whilst the second leg takes place at the Bught Park, Inverness a week later on Saturday 29 October 2011.
