Lewis Camanachd Win 2013 Craig Morrison Stornoway Sixes | |
08 July 2013 Lewis Camanachd won the 2013 Craig Morrison Stornoway Sixes in Shawbost on Saturday 29 June 2013. It has been three years since the inaugural Craig Morrison Stornoway Sixes and two years since the last event so the organisers were delighted that four teams took part. Lewis A (In Woody’s Express Strips), Lewis B (In Harris Tweed Hebrides Strips), Kincraig and Uist Camanachd in their old Tigh Dearg Hotel strips, which brought back memories of the classic HebCelt games. The teams played round-robin to decide semi-final placing and the results were as follows: Uist 2 Kincraig 0 (Seumas Boyle 2) Lewis A 2 Lewis B 0 (Will Church, Duncan MacIntyre) Lewis A 3 Kincraig 0 (Duncan MacIntyre 3) Lewis B 1 Uist 0 (Peter Gomez) Kincraig 2 Lewis B 0 (Jo Watson, Kevin Kennedy) Lewis A 1 Uist 0 (Duncan MacIntyre) This meant that Lewis A finished on top of the group, Uist were second, Kincraig third and Lewis B fourth. As the competition went on, the games became tighter and better quality with players catching on to the short sided form of the game. There were two classic semi-finals played with the Lewis teams winning both. Lewis A 1 Kincraig 0 (Will Church) Uist 0 Lewis B 1 (Ally Lamont) The third / fourth place play- off saw Kincraig beat Uist 2-0 with Jo Watson getting both goals. The final was a pulsating affair with the score level at 1-1 at full time. Ally Lamont opened the scoring with a streaking shot for the B team but Seumas Charity equalising after concerted effort from the A Team. This led to penalties and those which did hit the back of the net were good quality strikes. Sean MacLeod and Graham Cay scored for the B Team but Will Church and a double from Duncan MacIntyre following sudden-death made it 3-2 on penalties to Lewis A. Peter Gomez was named Player of the Tournament Craig Morrison Stornoway Sixes Final - Lewis A 1 (Seumas Charity) Lewis B 1 (Ally Lamont) (Lewis A win 3-2 on penalties) You can read more by clicking on the following link 2013 Craig Morrison Sixes Below are a few shots from the day but more can be found at Coinneach’s flickr page http://www.flickr.com/photos/coinneach_murray/sets/72157634412998320/ |
