21 August 2021 This week’s Skye Camanachd results are in! The Skye Camanachd first team lost 3-1 to their Kilmallie counterparts in their Mowi Senior League A match at the Canal Parks on Saturday 21 August 2021. Kilmallie led through Daniel Stewart on 21 minutes but a spectacular Iain MacLellan drive flew into the top corner of the net to make it 1-1 just 6 minutes later. New signing Stuart Callison scored his first goals for Kilmallie on 27 and 69 minutes to give the hosts victory. The Skye Camanachd second team played twice during the week. First up they went down 3-2 to Lochcarron in their Mowi North League A derby at Battery Park on Tuesday 17 August 2021. Skye, playing towards the top goal, struck first with U17 player Archie Millar scoring his first goal at second team level on 5 minutes. John Gillies played a ball from midfield out to the right to Iain MacLellan whose lobbed ball to the back post found Archie Millar and he finished well. It didn’t take Lochcarron long to level with Peter MacKenzie’s 22 yard shot from the left taking a wicked bounce on its way past keeper Calum Nicolson. Lochcarron took a 2-1 lead when Niall Arnott scored on 40 minutes. Peter MacKenzie flicked the ball diagonally to the left and Arnott ran into the D to slip the ball low past the keeper from close range. Indeed it took a brilliant double save from Calum Nicolson late in the half to prevent Lochcarron increasing their lead. Nicolson kept out Peter MacKenzie’s shot following a corner from the right and again denied MacKenzie from the rebound. Skye levelled 6 minutes into the second half with a well taken goal from Dan MacDonald. Substitute Lachlan MacPherson’s hit-in from the left was touched on by Iain MacLellan and Dan MacDonald ran into the D from the right before hitting the ball hard into the ground and it bounced past a helpless keeper on his left side to make it 2-2. However Peter MacKenzie got the winner on 63 minutes when his shot evaded the keeper. Then the Skye seconds lost 4-1 to Glengarry in their Mowi North League A match at a wet Pairc nan Laoch, Portree on Saturday 21 August 2021. ‘Garry took a 14 minute lead when Steven Cameron slipped a nice pass to Nick Dalgety who finished low into the net. Dalgety crashed his second high into the net 7 minutes later and Rhu MacDonald made it 3-0 following Scott Bremner’s free-hit. Skye skipper Ian MacPherson scored the goal of the game on 65 minutes, smashing the ball into the net from wide on the left after playing a quick one-two with Daniel Morrison. However Gordon MacDonald made it 4-1 just 3 minutes from time as substitute Jack West’s pass found him in space. The 4-1 margin was harsh on Skye but credit to ‘Garry for taking their chances. Skye Camanachd B and Skye Camanachd A played their Women’s Camanachd Association West Senior League match at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree this coming midweek. Skye Camanachd U17 did not have a fixture. Skye Camanachd U14 were 4-0 winners against Kinlochshiel U14 in their first phase 2 match as their Mowi U14 North of Scotland League campaign began at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree on Friday 20 August 2021. Ali Stewart, Ruairidh MacLeod, Oliver Langlands and Brodie MacQueen got the goals to cement a good Skye performance. |
