Lochaber High School retained the Shinty Shop Great Glen School’s Shinty Sixes at Blairbeg on Wednesday 28 September 2016.
A total of eleven teams from across the Highlands took part in the event. Glenurquhart High School entered three teams whilst Lochaber High School, Kingussie High School and Kinlochleven High School each entered two teams. There were also teams from Kilchuimen Academy and Kinlochbervie High School.
After the league stage, the semi-finals saw Lochaber beat Kinlochleven 1-0 whilst Kingussie defeated hosts Glenurquhart 2-0.
This set up what was a close and exciting final between Lochaber and Kingussie and a second half Victor Smith strike was enough to give Lochaber a 1-0 victory.
Glenurquhart finished in third spot by defeating Kinlochleven 2-1.
There was double joy for Lochaber when Lachie Shaw was judged to be the Player of the Tournament.
Event organiser Allan MacLeod said, “The standard of play in today’s tournament was very high and on behalf of hosts Glenurquhart High School, I would like to thank the tournament sponsors Shinty Shop, Glenurquhart Shinty Club and all the teams for coming from across the Highlands to take part.”
