Skye Camanachd 1 Kinlochshiel 1 - UPDATED! | |
03 October 2013 The Skye Camanachd reserves completed their Marine Harvest North Division 2 programme with a 1-1 derby draw with Kinlochshiel at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree on Saturday 28 September 2013. Donnie Martin took charge of the Island side and with Skye’s first team programme complete, he boosted his squad with the inclusion of Chris Rose, Ally MacDonald and Jordan Murchison. Aonghas MacDonald started in goal and David MacInnes was free of suspension whilst Stewart Grant was given a place on the bench after a spell working in America. However the defence had to be revamped with captain David Grant, Andrew Banks, Neil John Campbell and keeper Michael Nicolson all unavailable. Kinlochshiel manager Colin Fraser travelled with a strong squad and his line-up included eight players – keeper Scott Kennedy, Alasdair Nixon, David Falconer, Conall Fraser, Donald Nixon, Jordan Fraser and Scotland internationals Keith MacRae and John MacRae – who were in the 14 man ‘Shiel first team squad which drew 3-3 with Inveraray in the Orion Group Premiership the previous weekend. Colin MacDiarmid missed out through injury. Just when it looked as if the first half would end scoreless, the visitors went in front. Aonghas MacDonald seemed to have an Alasdair MacRae low shot from 18 yards covered but the ball took a wicked deflection off a home defender to wrong-foot the Skye keeper and the ball ended up in the back of the net. Skye custodian Aonghas MacDonald was the busier of the two keepers but ‘Shiel keeper Scott Kennedy made a quite outstanding save when he denied Skye’s Paul MacKinnon in the second half. Skye’s were not to be denied though and their some-what fortuitous equalising goal came a couple of minutes from time when an Angie MacDonald effort hit the ground and spun over Scott Kennedy’s head into the net to make it 1-1. The sides largely cancelled eachother out over the piece and Skye finish third in the league whilst Kinlochshiel remain in bottom spot.
