Skye Camanachd lost 3-1 to Glenurquhart in their Scottish Hydro Camanachd semi-final tie at An Aird. Skye played with the wind at their backs in the first half and they immediately pinned back the Glen. The Islanders took the lead after 12 minutes when Danny Morrison lost his marker and crashed the ball high into the net from a Jordan Murchison free-hit. Glenurquhart responded well and they equalised with a contender for goal of the season. David MacLennan played in a shy from the left and Fraser Heath hit the bouncing ball first time on his backhand from a central position into the corner of the net from around 18 yards out. A David Smart shot through a ruck of players 3 minutes before the break gave the Glen a 2-1 interval advantage although they had keeper Stuart MacKintosh to thank for a fantastic save from a 20 yard Shockie MacLennan effort which was heading for the top corner of the net whilst Lewis MacLennan was booked for impeding Shockie MacLennan when he was through on goal. Glenurquhart made a strong start to the second half with the elements now in their favour and although Skye tried to get back on level terms, they found their opponents to be resolute in defence. Fraser Heath should have made it 3-1 following a good passing move before James MacPherson clinched the place in the final with a good strike on 74 minutes.
