27 May 2012 The Skye Camanachd Ladies beat Dunadd Ladies 6-4 in their Marine Harvest Challenge Cup tie at Craigard, Invergarry on Sunday 27 May 2012. The 2pm throw up was the Skye Ladies first match in this competition and although it was Skye’s home tie, they agreed to play on a neutral venue to ease Dunadd’s travel commitments.
Skye took the lead in sweltering conditions when Lorna MacRae fired home.
Dunadd squared the tie through Leone Airlie but a Skye double from Jenna Beaton and Lorna MacRae put the Islanders 3-1 in front.
Lorna MacRae completed her hat-trick to make it 5-1 and when the Skye Ladies added a sixth, it seemed there would only be one winner.
However Dunadd made a late fightback and a Danielle Finlay strike and a Roslyn McGuinness double cut Skye's lead to 6-4.
However Jenna Beaton got her second to make it 7-4 and ease Skye nerves.
Dunadd's Danielle Finlay got her second which was the final goal of the game so Skye eventually ran out 7-5 winners and made it through to the quarter-finals of the competition where they will face Strathglass Ladies.
Skye travelled without any substitutes and although Lorna MacRae with five goals and Jenna Beaton with a double caught the eye, this was a great team performance.
