The final preparations have been made and the 2015 Artemis MacAulay Cup Final between Inveraray and Newtonmore at Mossfield on Saturday 22 August 2015.
The Artemis MacAulay Cup is organised by the MacAulay Association. The top eight league placed teams from the North and South are eligible to take part and it is the first competition to be drawn each season with the draw usually taking place in December, live on Oban FM. The tournament is played on a regional basis with the winning North and South sides meeting in the final at Mossfield each year.
The final is placed at Mossfield each year and the trophy was donated by then Oban Times Editor Flora MacAulay in 1947 with the inaugural tournament won by Newtonmore.
