18 October 2017 The Scotland senior and U21 captains have been confirmed ahead of the Marine Harvest Shinty / Hurling Internationals against Ireland at The Bught Park, Inverness on Saturday 21 October 2017. Kinlochshiel’s Finlay MacRae will captain the senior side. This is MacRae’s second stint as captain; he previous led the team in 2014 and 2015. Finlay MacRae has been an integral part of Kinlochshiel’s success this season as they lifted the Marine Harvest Premiership trophy for the first time. To mark his appointment as captain, Finlay MacRae received the Donald Campbell Kilt Pin from Donald’s son Michael Campbell. Arran MacPhee will captain the Scotland U21 side for the first time. MacPhee’s return from a knee injury this season has been a major boost for Fort William in a year when they have lifted the Balliemore Cup and still have an outside chance winning promotion to the Marine Harvest Premiership. Throw in for the senior match is at 2pm whilst the U21 match throws in at 11.50am. These games are preceded by the Women’s Camanachd Association inaugural North U14 v South U14 match which throws up at 10.30am.
