Skye Camanachd captain Kenny Campbell will miss the pre season games against Glenurquhart, Oban Camanachd and the Ewen Morrison Memorial Cup clash between North Skye and South Skye.
However Campbell should be available for the start of the shinty season and the opening game against Inverness at Bught Park, Inverness on Saturday 7 March 2009.
Skye Camanachd manager Angie Murchison will give some thought as to who will replace Campbell as captain for the pre season programme.
