Lovat Retain The Lovat Cup. | |
02 January 2009 Lovat won the 2009 New Year derby against Beauly to retain the Lovat Cup. Lovat followed up last year's exciting 3-2 victory with a 2-1 win against their fiercest rivals. The match was played in front of a huge crowd at Beauly's Brae View Park. Sean Stewart put Beauly ahead after 20 minutes but Ryan Ferguson equalised for Lovat 15 minutes later. Jimmy MacKenzie put Lovat ahead a minute before the break and with no further scoring in the second half, his strike proved to be the winner. Beauly put in a huge effort to win back the coveted trophy but it's Lovat who have the bragging rights for now. However with both teams meeting in this year's Marine Harvest North Division 1, Beauly will have ample opportunity for revenge. |
