Skye Camanachd and Badenoch meet in the WCA Marine Harvest Valerie Fraser Camanachd Cup Final takes place at the Dell on Saturday 1 September 2018.
Skye, who are the holders after beating Lochaber 6-1 in last year’s final, could hardly have had a more straightforward route to this year’s show-piece game. The Islanders received a bye in the quarter-finals against Strathspey which led to a semi-final tie against Glasgow Mid Argyll and when they also failed to field a team, the Skye squad received a bye all the way to the final.
Badenoch on the other hand have had two tough ties to negotiate. Zoe Reid and Rhona MacIntyre gave them a 2-1 win at Aberdour in the quarter-finals whilst it took extra-time before Badenoch & Strathspey finally saw off Lochaber; winning 2-0 in the semi-finals thanks to strikes from Katie Falconer and Zoe Reid.
