Skye Camanachd Saturday Shinty Shorts | |
15 May 2016 Skye Camanachd recorded a win, a draw and a defeat following this week’s shinty fixtures. Skye Camanachd and Lovat first teams shared the points following a 0-0 draw in their Marine Harvest Premiership meeting at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree on Saturday 14 May 2016. There were no goals but a number of close calls during the game. Gilleasbuig MacDonald and Danny Morrison combined to set up a chance for Jordan Murchison but Stuart MacDonald made a good save with his hand. Danny Morrison came close to giving Skye the lead when he stretched to hit the ball goalwards from just inside the D after a Lovat defender missed Iain Nicolson’s cross from the left but Stuart MacDonald made a great save with his right foot to keep the ball out. Lovat had the better chances in the second half with Kevin Bartlett and Greg Matheson both going close. However the Skye defence, in which Neil MacVicar and John Gillies were excellent, held out and the points were shared. Skye stay eighth in the league but they have played fewer than any of the other teams in the league.

Iain MacLellan pulled a goal back for Skye on 39 minutes but a David Cheyne goal on the hour mark confirmed Newtonmore’s 5-1 win. The Skye Camanachd Ladies did not have a fixture but seven players from the squad take part in the Scotland trials at Newtonmore on Sunday 15 May 2016.
