Caberfeidh’s Blair Morrison has been called up to the Scotland U21 squad for the Shinty / Hurling international against Ireland U21 at Newry on Saturday 25 October 2014.
The Cabers youngster gets his call-up after a weekend injury ruled out Lovat’s Graeme MacMillan.
Blair Morrison was part of the Scotland U17 squad which travelled to Dublin in the summer and the 18 year old impressed in the recent North U21 v South U21 match.
Scotland U21 Head Coach Garry Reid said, “This will be good experience for Blair. We see him providing good cover at the back and I have other defenders that who can play in a more forward position.”
