Skye Camanachd B U14 2 Kinlochshiel U14 1 | |
28 June 2015 Skye Camanachd B U14 rounded off their Local League programme with a 2-1 win over Kinlochshiel U14 at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree on Friday 26 June 2015. Skye Camanachd B U14 Youth Coach John MacLeod was without Katherine Dibble for this 6.30pm throw up so Connor Gilpin was drafted into the squad. Kinlochshiel were 3-0 winners when the sides met at Kirkton earlier in the season. The visitors started strongly and pressured the Skye defence. ‘Shiel eventually took the lead when Duncan MacRae pounced on a mistake by Murphy Henderson in Skye goal to put his side 1-0 ahead with 5 minutes played. Skye fought their way back into the game and a low drive from Dan MacDonald on 7 minutes squared the contest at 1-1. Both teams continued to press and Calum Martin in the ‘Shiel goal pulled off a terrific save on 12 minutes. Skye were awarded a penalty on 18 minutes when the ‘Shiel keeper Calum Martin saved a shot with his head and referee Donnie Martin had no alternative but to point to the penalty spot. Dan MacDonald struck the ball home to make it 2-1. Both team tried to carve out chances during the remainder of the half but most of the play was in the midfield and Skye took their single goal lead into the break. The second half restarted with ‘Shiel trying to find a way past the Skye defence. Skye keeper Murphy Henderson saved well with his stick on 55 minutes and he denied ‘Shiel again on 63 minutes when he saved with his feet. There was no more scoring so Skye took the points. The Skye youngsters acquitted themselves well in the match. Jamie MacPhie, Christina MacDonald and Jamie MacKay put in fine performances in defence. Abbey MacLean and Ryan MacAskill worked tirelessly in the midfield area whilst two-goal Dan MacDonald provided the finishing touches in attack. This is the final Local League match of the season for both teams and Kinlochshiel will go forward to play in Marin Harvest North Division 2 after the summer break.
