Badenoch & Strathspey Ladies 1 Skye Camanachd Ladies 3 | |
09 August 2015 Skye Camanachd Ladies were 3-1 winners in their Marine Harvest National Division 1 meeting with Badenoch & Strathspey Ladies at the Dell on Sunday 9 August 2015. Skye Camanachd Ladies Head Coach Robbie Gordon added captain Jenna Beaton to the squad that lost 4-2 to Glasgow Mid Argyll Ladies at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree last weekend. Abby MacLean was unavailable. Catriona Gibb was still missing. Badenoch & Strathspey are having a great season but they were missing the influential Kirsty Deans for this fixture. They drew 0-0 with Skye in the corresponding league match earlier in the season and they beat the Islanders 4-2 after extra-time in the Valerie Fraser Cup semi-final. Badenoch knew that if they beat Skye and then Lorn in their final fixture, they would be guaranteed the league title. However it would be Skye who took both points with a 3-1 win in this 2pm throw up. Skye went in front courtesy of a Sarah Caird own goal after just 3 minutes but Zoe Reid levelled. Skye led 2-1 at the break with goals from Jenna Beaton and Lorna MacRae giving them a 3-1 win in what was Badenoch & Strathspey’s first defeat of the season. The winning margin could have been bigger with Skye’s Lorna MacRae hitting the crossbar no fewer than four times. The result is a blow to Badenoch & Strathspey’s title chances with Glasgow Mid Argyll now in the driving seat.
