Skye Camanachd U17 7 Kingussie U17 0 | |
29 October 2018 Skye Camanachd U17 reached the London Shield Final with a 7-0 win over Kingussie U17 at Blairbeg on Saturday 27 October 2018. Skye Head Coach Kenny MacLeod was without injured defender James Morrison so Martin Pringle dropped into the defence where he played well whilst his Kingussie counter-part Russell Jones was minus Dylan Borthwick who was unavailable. Skye took the lead on 6 minutes following a flowing move which carved open the Kingussie defence and ended with Ross Gordon hammering the ball over the keeper from the left of the D despite Kieran MacPherson’s efforts to block. Taylor Matheson added a second just 3 minutes later when he went one-on-one with Kingussie keeper George Taylor-Ramsay and Matheson slipped the ball home. A Cameron MacKay shot from distance on 14 minutes made it 3-0 and Ross Gordon got his second a couple of minutes later. There was a melee in which Gordon felt he’d been impeded but when the ball broke to his side, he lashed it home. William MacKinnon added a fifth following a break from midfield and he flicked the ball home to make it 5-0 at the break. Skye introduced Gilleasbuig MacVicar for Archie MacDonald at the break with Calumn MacKay taking over from Jamie MacKay. Niall MacPhee wasn’t used as he was carrying a knock. Skye’s Ruaraidh MacLeod played well throughout and he added a sixth straight from the restart with a waist-high shot from around the penalty spot. Ross MacKinnon rounded off the scoring after a surging run forward from midfield and his waist-high shot flew past the keeper to make it 7-0.
