25 September 2021 This week’s Skye Camanachd results are in! The Skye Camanachd first team lost 3-2 against Kilmallie in their Mowi Senior League A match at Pairc nan Loach, Portree on Saturday 25 September 2021. Somhairle MacDonald’s strike from wide on the left deceived the keeper to put Skye ahead but Martyn Cameron ensured the sides went into the break on level terms, scoring at the back post following a corner on the right. A great strike from Daniel Stewart put Kilmallie in front. Stewart ran onto Steven Stewart’s long ball forward before sending a first-time shot from left of the D high into the net. Substitute Taylor Matheson pulled Skye level on 75 minutes, taking Jordan Murchison’s pass before turning inside from the right and hammering the ball over the keeper’s left shoulder on his backhand to make it 2-2. However the winning goal came a couple of minutes later when two Skye defenders collided allowing Michael Rodger’s ball out of defence to break to Stuart Callison on the left and he sent a terrific drive across the keeper and inside the far post to make it 3-2. The sides also contested the Thomas Ferguson Memorial Cup on the 50th year since Thomas tragically died in a road accident. The trophy was presented to Kilmallie skipper Robbie MacFadyen by Skye Camanachd stalwart Alasdair MacKinnon, who was best friends with Thomas. Skye’s Ross MacKinnon, who suffered a nasty head cut during the game, was Kilmallie’s choice as the best player in the opposing team so took the Glasgow Mid Argyll Shield. The Skye Camanachd second team did not have a fixture on Saturday 25 September 2021. There were no Women’s Camanachd Association fixtures for Skye Camanachd A, Skye Camanachd B and the Skye Camanachd Development squad. Skye Camanachd U17 came from 2-1 down to beat eleven-man Caberfeidh U17 6-2 in their London Shield match at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree on Saturday 25 September 2021. Taylor Matheson scored twice with Archie Millar, Jamie Ross, Calum Gillies and Brodie MacQueen getting the others. Skye Camanachd U14 had a deserved week off after their exploits last week. |
