Badenoch & Strathspey Lift Johnstone Rose Bowl | |
29 January 2017 Badenoch & Strathspey Ladies lifted the Johnstone Rose Bowl at the Nevis Centre, Fort William on Saturday 28 January 2017. Skye Camanachd had won the tournament for the previous three years and they won through to the final again. However Badenoch topped their five team group stage, only dropping one point in the process. Badenoch then beat Glengarry A 10-3 in the semi-finals to set up a final meeting with Skye. The match finished 5-5 at the end of the regulation time so an extra 4 minutes was needed to separate the teams. There was still plenty drama before Badenoch eventually ran out 7-6 victors. Badenoch’s Kirsty Deans was named player of the tournament. The Johnstone Rose Bowl was donated to the Glengarry Girls Shinty Club in 1998 (a year after the team was formed) by Mrs Ailsa Johnstone of DA Johnstone & Son Contractors, Invergarry who have been loyal sponsors ever since. |
