Beauly will be represented by Dougie Blaine, Conor Cormack and David MacLean as well as Conor Ross, Martin MacFadyen and Ross Forbes. It’s easy to agree with MacLennan’s assessment that this side would easily hold their own in Marine Harvest North Division 1. MacLennan is also examining the possibility of recruiting The team is sponsored by MacGregor Industrial Supplies and an all back strip has been selected to avoid any accusation of favouritism to any particular shinty club.
