Skye Players Feature In North Representative Youth Squads | |
05 October 2018 No fewer than seven Skye Camanachd youth players will take part in the annual North v South representative matches which take place at An Aird, Fort William on Sunday 7 October 2018. Skye’s Taylor Matheson and William Sutherland will be part of the North U14 squad which plays South U14 to contest the Fraser MacPhee Memorial Cup. Throw up is at noon. Later in the afternoon, the North U17 and South U17 squads clash at 2.30pm. Skye Camanachd U17 players Connor Gilpin, Jamie Gillies, Ross Gordon, Martin Pringle and William MacKinnon – the latter who plays senior shinty for Boleskine - will all take part. Ahead of the event, Camanachd Association Youth Director Willie MacDonald said: “The coaches across all four squads had had some tough choices to make in selecting this year’s squads; there is undoubtedly an abundance of talent out there. It is also especially pleasing to see the progression a number of players have made from U14 to U17 and then to the U21 national squad over the past few years, so the importance of this event to a player’s pathway is clear to see.”
