Skye Camanachd Saturday Shinty Shorts | |
02 March 2014 There was plenty of Skye Camanachd shinty action on Saturday 1 March 2014. The Skye Camanachd first team made a winning start to the new shinty season when they beat the Beauly second team 6-0 at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree in Marine Harvest North Division 1. Will Cowie scored a first half hat-trick in just 21 minutes. Allan MacKinnon, Jordan Murchison and Shockie MacLennan got the other goals. The Skye Camanachd second team’s Marine Harvest North Division 2 match against Glengarry at Craigard was postponed because of an unplayable field. The Skye Camanachd Ladies went down 2-1 to Badenoch & Strathspey Ladies at the Portree High School all-weather pitch. Kirsty Deans put the visitors ahead but Lorna MacRae levelled before the break. Rachel Borthwick scored what proved to be the winner on her debut. Four Skye teams set off for Fort William to take part in the Gilmour Sports National First Shinty Finals. Dunvegan and Portree took part in the Primary 7 (& under) tournament at the Nevis Centre whilst Portree and South End competed in the Primary 5 (& under) event at Lochaber High School. It was a particularly successful afternoon for the older Portree team who reached the final of the Primary 7 (& under) tournament, only to lose 4-0 to Taynuilt. There will be full reports to follow on all the games. |
