Beauly capitalised on some poor defending from the Islanders to take an early 2-0 lead with goals from Calum Morrison and Martin Davidson. Calum Morrison got his second and Beauly’s third just 7 minutes into the second half and, although Paul MacKinnon pulled a goal back with a peach of a strike, Beauly were deserved winners.
Orion Group Premiership Kilmallie 1 Newtonmore 3 Newtonmore returned to the top of the Orion Group Premiership following their 3-1 win over Kilmallie at the Canal Parks. Glen MacKintosh put Newtonmore ahead after just 9 minutes but Liam MacDonald levelled on 23 minutes. Glen MacKintosh got his second a minute into the second period whilst Danny MacRae grabbed a third on 50 minutes to seal a 3-1 win. The result confirms that Kilmallie will drop to Marine Harvest North Division 1 next season. Kinlochshiel 6 Kingussie 1 Kinlochshiel recorded a 6-1 win over Kingussie at Kirkton. ‘Shiel captain Gordie MacDonald put the home side ahead in the first minute but Barrie Dallas levelled with 10 minutes played.

Fort William 5 Inveraray 3 Fort William made it two wins out of two since their return to An Aird with an impressive 5-3 win over Scottish Hydro Camanachd Cup finalists Inveraray. The Fort started with Duncan Rodger and he scored twice in the opening 14 minutes to put the home side 2-0 in front. Euan McMurdo pulled a goal back 5 minutes before the break but a second half double from Daniel Stewart made it 4-1. Duncan Rodger completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot on 78 minutes and although Chris Crawford and Stuart Robertson netted in the final two minutes, it was no more than consolation for the visitors.
Marine Harvest North Division 1 Lochcarron 0 Skye Camanachd 3 Skye stay top of the table following their 3-0 derby win over Lochcarron at Battery Park. Jordan Murchison gave the visitors a 5 minute lead and he saw a penalty saved by Lochcarron keeper Douglas MacKenzie before Danny Morrison made it 2-0 on 38 minutes. Murchison got his second a minute later to put Skye 3-0 to the good at half time. Lochcarron came more into the game in the second half although home keeper MacKenzie prevented the Islanders from increasing their lead with some fine saves. Lochaber 5 Inverness 0 Lochaber go second in the table following their 5-0 win over Inverness at Spean Bridge. Stuart Callison, Ben Delaney and Shaun Nicolson all scored in the first half. Nicolson again and Pat Toal were on target during the second 45 minutes. Lochaber trail Skye by four points but, perhaps crucially, they have three games in hand. Caberfeidh 1 Beauly 2 Lee Nicol gave Caberfeidh a 4 minute lead against Beauly at Castle Leod. However Barrie MacDonald made it 1-1 on 27 minutes and Ryan Tillman, on his return from injury, scored what proved to be the winner on 65 minutes.

Marine Harvest South Division 2 Ballachulish 0 Lochside Rovers 2 Ballachulish and Lochside Rovers brought forward their Jubilee Park meeting to Friday 17 August. Early goals from Gavin Stobbart and Sean Morgan gave newly crowned champions Lochside Rovers a 2-0 win in this 7pm throw up. Aberdour 3 Ardnamurchan 2 Ardnamurchan went cross-country as they took on Aberdour in Fife. Sean Laskey scored five times as Ardnamurchan were 10-3 winners when the sides met earlier in the season but this was Aberdour’s day. Lewis Nicol gave them a 15 minute lead only for Sandy Corrigan to level 5 minutes before the break. Brandon Marshall and David MacKenzie put Aberdour 3-1 up and although James Cameron pulled a goal back for Ardnamurchan 5 minutes from time, Aberdour took the points and they move off the bottom of the table. Kyles Athletic W/O v Tayforth Tayforth were unable to field a team for their trip to Tighnabruaich to play Kyles Athletic so the points go to the home side.
Marine Harvest North Division 3 Kilmallie 1 Strathspey Camanachd 3 Strathspey Camanachd ended their first season in senior shinty on a high with a 3-1 win over Kilmallie at the Canal Parks.

However Andrew Hay on 75 minutes and Edgars Peca’s second of the afternoon 5 minutes from time gave Strathspey the points and they end the season in a credible seventh place in the table. Caberfeidh 4 Strathglass 2 Caberfeidh beat Strathglass 4-2 at Castle Leod. Iain MacDonald and Colin MacLennan put Cabers two up. Goals from youngster Josh Fraser and veteran Garry Reid made it 2-2. However Graeme MacGregor and Colin MacLennan’s second strike of the afternoon gave Caberfeidh the win. Inverness W/O v Lochcarron The Bught Park meeting between Inverness and Lochcarron was off as Lochcarron were unable to raise a team so the points went to the home side. This ended a fine Lochcarron run which saw them win their last five league games in a row. |
