2016 Aberdein Considine Sutherland Cup Final …………. 2 Days To Go! | |
28 July 2016 The 2016 Aberdein Considine Sutherland Cup Final between the Newtonmore and Kingussie second teams takes place at the Dell on Saturday 30 July 2016.

Aberdein Considine Sutherland Cup – First Round Saturday 9 April 2016 The Newtonmore second team were given a bye in the first round of the Aberdein Considine Sutherland Cup.
Aberdein Considine Sutherland Cup – Second Round Saturday 14 May 2016 Newtonmore 5 Skye Camanachd 1 The Newtonmore second team beat the Skye Camanachd seconds 5-1 in their 3.30pm throw up at the Eilan. Skye boss Davie Pringle made two changes to the squad which beat the Fort William second team in Marine Harvest North Division 1 the previous weekend. Chris Rose and Aonghas MacDonald were both with the Skye first team squad so Chris MacLennan and Thomas Wilson – both back from hand injuries – came into the squad in their place. Newtonmore boss Cammy MacDonald had John MacKenzie available but he will miss their next outing as he serves a one-match ban for passing the disciplinary points threshold. Youngster Iain Robinson started on the bench and Kenny Ross was in midfield. Newtonmore were 5-3 winners when the teams in the league at the Eilan at the beginning of April. A John MacKenzie double on 14 and 23 minutes had ‘More 2-0 ahead. Duncan Gorman then struck twice on 33 and 37 minutes to double the home side’s advantage. Iain MacLellan pulled a goal back for Skye on 39 minutes but a David Cheyne goal on the hour mark confirmed Newtonmore’s 5-1 win. Skye found it difficult to contain MacKenzie and Cheyne and the speedy ‘More wing forwards and it was a deserved win for the holders. They will now be away to the Kinlochshiel second team in the Aberdein Considine Sutherland Cup quarter finals on Saturday 28 May 2016.

John Don MacKenzie was at full back. David Cheyne returned for ‘More after missing the previous weekend’s league win over Skye. Scott MacLean gave ‘Shiel the lead after 25 minutes. However Newtonmore effectively won the tie with a 10 minute goal blitz. David Cheyne equalised on the half-hour mark whilst Duncan Gorman put the Eilan side ahead just a couple of minutes later. John MacKenzie made it 3-1 on 37 minutes and Duncan Gorman got his second on 40 minutes to give Newtonmore a 4-1 lead at the break.
