Skye Camanachd Saturday Shinty Shorts | |
05 May 2015 Three Skye Camanachd teams were in action over the weekend. Skye Camanachd go third in the table after they beat Caberfeidh 2-0 in their 3pm throw up at Castle Leod on Saturday 2 May 2015. The sides had drawn 1-1 at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree earlier in the season. Skye made the better start to the game, creating some good early chances and they moved the ball around well. After only 5 minutes, Cabers keeper Ewen Pilcher did well to clear a ball that Blair Morrison had chested down and was heading for goal. After 13 minutes, the inevitable breakthrough came when Danny Morrison fired goalwards and, at the last moment, the ball took an awkward bounce which wrong footed the keeper. Skye continued to press and on 17 minutes, Allan MacKinnon found space on the left and he unleashed a great shot that keeper Pilcher had little chance of saving. Cabers came more into the game although Skye passed up some chances to increase their lead. Iain Nicolson came on for Skye for the last half hour; his first appearance in the senior team since his return from Lovat. However after twice coming close to adding a third Skye goal, he had to leave the field with a hand injury which required a trip to Raigmore Hospital. The Skye Camanachd colts beat Col Glen 4-2 at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree on Saturday 2 May 2015. Skye went in front on 12 minutes when wing centre Calum Gibb burst forward from midfield to score. However Col Glen shocked their hosts as Steven MacKellar on 15 minutes and Connor Kennedy a couple of minutes later put them 2-1 in front. Skye settled and John MacKenzie collected a ball from Iain MacLellan on 26 minutes before crashing an unstoppable shot into the back of the net to make it 2-2. James Pringle put Skye back in front on 32 minutes when he scored following a goalmouth scramble. Iain MacLellan made it 4-2 when his effort flew just inside the post on 39 minutes. Skye had the better of the second half but they were unable to add to their tally. The Skye Camanachd Ladies did not have a fixture. Skye Camanachd U17 were to play Lovat U17 in the London Shield but the Balgate side has withdrawn from this year’s competition. Skye Camanachd B U14 began their Local League fixtures as they travelled to Kirkton where they went down 3-0 against the Kinlochshiel U14 on Friday 1 May 2015. Duncan Matheson and a WD MacRae brace counted for the home side. |
