Skye Camanachd Saturday Shinty Shorts | |
03 July 2016 The Skye Camanachd first and second teams were in action this weekend. The Skye Camanachd first team drew 2-2 in their Marine Harvest Premiership meeting with Fort William at An Aird on Saturday 2 July 2016. Skye took the lead on 17 minutes. James Pringle was fouled inside the D when through on goal and referee Graham Cameron pointed to the penalty spot. Jordan Murchison made no mistake from the spot-hit. Fort William drew level on 31 minutes when Bryan Simpson created just enough space 20 yards from goal to send a low drive which evaded Jamie Gannon in the Skye goal. There were chances at both ends before Fort William’s Seamus Gall, who had also played in the day’s earlier match against Kinlochshiel, sent a looping ball from 15 yards which deceived Skye keeper Jamie Gannon to make it 2-1 with 64 minutes played. Skye equalised with just 3 minutes remaining when an Iain Murray corner from the right fell at the feet of Jordan Murchison at the edge of the D and he blasted the ball past Paul MacKay in the Fort goal to make it 2-2. The Skye Camanachd second team lost 7-1 to Strathglass in their Marine Harvest North Division 1 encounter at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree on Saturday 2 July 2016. Strathglass started well but Skye came back into the match and there wasn’t much between the teams as the first half moved into the final 10 minutes. However Strathglass grabbed a grip of the game as Scott Douglas slotted home a rebound on 36 minutes and Lewis Douglas made it 2-0 just a minute later. Strathglass substitute Josh Fraser knocked the ball home from close range following a goal mouth scramble on 40 minutes to make it 3-0 at the break. The Cannich side extended their advantage on 51 minutes when Scott Douglas was allowed too much space and he turned to send a low shot into the net. Josh Fraser got his second on the hour to make it 5-0 after a Scott Douglas shot following a free-hit had been saved by Skye keeper Iain MacLeod. Skye pulled a goal back on 79 minutes when U14 player Ross Gordon fired in a low shot from the left to notch his first goal at second team level. However Strathglass finished strongly and Darren Reid collected a Scott Douglas pass to score the goal of the game on 81 minutes with a thumping 22 yard shot into the roof of the net. Strathglass substitute Penri Jones got the biggest cheer of the day when the 15 year old slotted home a rebound following a Barry John Phimister shot a minute from time to make it 7-1.
