“From my first game as a referee between Col-Glen and Ballachulish until now, it has been a privilege to help shinty thrive. Catching up with familiar faces at matches is a great joy and the refereeing certainly helps with the fitness.

“I look forward to what I’m sure will be a cracking game and wish both teams the best of luck in the final.”
