Marine Harvest Premiership Kinlochshiel 5 Skye Camanachd 2 Kinlochshiel remain the team to beat in the Marine Harvest Premiership after they overcame Skye Camanachd 5-2 in their derby meeting at Kirkton. Kinlochshiel manager Johnston Gill was forced to change his keeper. With Scott Kennedy on holiday, his brother Graham Kennedy stepped up from the second team to take over in goal. Finlay MacRae continued at full back with Oliver MacRae at centre. Captain Paul MacRae was on the bench alongside Scott MacLean and Duncan “WD” MacRae. Skye boss John MacLeod welcomed keeper Iain MacLeod back into the squad so Ryan Morrison returned to the second team. Stewart Grant was also back whilst there was a place on the bench for youngster Jamie Gillies. They replaced Iain Nicolson, who had failed to recover from a hamstring problem, and Allan MacLeod. Kinlochshiel took an early grip on the game with Ali Nixon scoring after just 7 minutes. Jordan Fraser added a second a couple of minutes later and Fraser got his second and ‘Shiel’s third on 16 minutes. When Keith MacRae added a fourth on 33 minutes, Skye made changes with Ally “Cleodi” MacLeod and Ally “Spod” MacLeod withdrawn. Iain MacLellan and Connor Gilpin came on with Will Cowie, who had a fine game throughout, going to buckshee back. Skye created chances during the first half with Graham Kennedy making at least three good saves. ‘Shiel took Paul MacRae on at the start of the second half with Finlay MacRae going to centre. Skye’s Jordan Murchison pulled a goal back a minute after the restart only for Keith MacRae to get his second on 50 minutes. Jordan Murchison got his second to make it 5-2 on 77 minutes. Referee Archie Ritchie awarded ‘Shiel a penalty but iain MacLeod saved John MacRae’s effort.
Oban Camanachd 2 Kingussie 0 Oban Camanachd posted their first league victory of the season when they beat Kingussie 2-0 at Mossfield In a venue re-jig, this game was a 3pm throw up which allowed Oban Celtic to play their match against Glasgow Mid Argyll at the same venue at noon. This freed up Ganavan for the Oban Celtic seconds to reverse their game against their Bute counterparts. Oban Camanachd manager Ian Hay welcomed Lorne Dickie back into the side as he works his way back to full fitness. Matt Rippon, Craig MacDougall and Daniel Sloss also returned but Gavin Stobbart, David Lafferty, Aidan MacIntyre and Scott MacKillop were all still out. Daniel Cameron served a one match suspension following his red card against Caberfeidh the previous week. Kingussie had Rory MacKeachan back but they were without the experience of James Hutchison and Lee Bain as well as the injured Louis Munro. Savio Genini started up front with Roddy Young on the bench. Oban Camanachd took the lead on 17 minutes. The ball was played into the D and there was a melee following Craig Dawson’s save and MacVicar poked the ball into the net from close range. Kingussie had their keeper to thank as Craig Dawson made a brilliant point-black save from an Andrew MacCuish shot and he also made a good stop to deny Daniel MacVicar a second. At the other end, Cameron Sutherland in the Oban goal was assured as he dealt with anything into his goal area, Kingussie came back into it from the start of the second half without being able to force a leveller. Both sides were reduced to eleven players when referee Robert Baxter had no option but to flash two red cards - to Ryan MacWilliam for a challenge on Daniel Sloss with the Oban youngster walking for retaliation. Oban Camanachd had the better of the contest from that point and Garry Lord, who had been pushed into attack, forced another great Craig Dawson save with the ball heading for the top corner of the net. Oban Camanachd clinched the win with 11 minutes remaining. Craig MacDougall was chopped down inside the D and Andrew MacCuish crashed the penalty into the top corner of the net, beating the keeper on his left side. Oban Camanachd manager Ian Hay said, “It was good to get a couple of points on the board and I felt we deserved the win. We needed the second goal to see Kingussie off but we never felt really under threat.” Attention now turns to Saturday’s Glasgow Celtic Society Cup tie against Ballachulish at Mossfield and Hay added, “We’ll be without Daniel Sloss for that one as well as Chrissie MacMillan who did well against Kingussie. However we’ll have Daniel Cameron and David Lafferty back and it was good to see Lorne Dickie play 90 minutes on Saturday as he builds up his match fitness.”
Newtonmore 1 Kyles Athletic 2 Rivals Newtonmore and Kyles Athletic met for the first time this season with ‘Kyles Athletic coming from behind to win 2-1 at The Eilan. Newtonmore’s Steven MacDonald was still out and whilst Evan Menzies was free to play but he will miss ‘More’s next two matches through suspension. Kyles had Roddy MacDonald and Grant Irvine back with Donald Irvine also returning to take a place on the bench. Keeper John Whyte was also back although Innes MacDonald was on the bench, primed to take over between the sticks if needed. However Rory Kennedy was a late call-off so Norman Campbell went to full back. Newtonmore scored first with Ewan Fraser grabbing his first league goal for the side, turning a rebound past a diving keeper, with 24 minutes on the clock. Roddy MacDonald equalised following a corner on the right on 30 minutes. MacDonald won possession at the back post with two ‘More defenders in attendance and the Scotland forward managed to move ball forward and, with only a quarter-swing, he sent the ball past the keeper from a tight angle to make it 1-1. Kyles took the lead on the stroke of half time. Colin MacDonald battled for the ball with Norman Campbell just on edge of D and, with Campbell falling and losing his stick, the big forward managed to run in, taking another touch then tucking the ball past the keeper to make it 2-1. There were no goals in the second half. Kyles keeper John Whyte had an injury scare but was able to run it off and continue in goal. Kyles have a rearranged league fixture against Kingussie at The Dell this Saturday as Tayforth have pulled out of their Glasgow Celtic Society Cup tie. Newtonmore host Glenurquhart in the cottages.com MacTavish Cup quarter finals.
Caberfeidh 0 Lochaber 3 Lochaber recorded their first league win of the season, beating the division’s shock-troops Caberfeidh 3-0 in their 3pm throw up at Castle Leod. Ryan MacKay was amongst several Caberfeidh absentees as he began a two games suspension whilst Lochaber had full forward John MacKenzie back in their side. Lochaber took the lead on 26 minutes. After some good work from the Lochaber midfield, the ball was played through to John MacKenzie. There was a bit of melee and the ball came out to Shaun Nicholson who scored from 15 yards. Lochaber’s second was a great individual effort from Shaun Nicolson who finished well from 20 yards. Caberfeidh had the chance to half the deficit early in the second half when referee Andy MacLean awarded them a penalty but the normally reliable Kevin Bartlett missed from the spot. John MacKenzie clinched the win a minute from time. A ball from wide was taken down by MacKenzie with his back to goal. The former Newtonmore man turned onto his right hand and he put the ball into the bottom corner of the net from 22 yards out. This was a good “old school” hard fought game with both teams giving no quarter and Lochaber did enough to deserve the win.
Lovat 2 Glenurquhart 1 Lovat came from behind to beat Glenurquhart 2-1 at Balgate James MacPherson scored on 14 minutes to put the Glen 1-0 ahead against his former club. Marc MacLachlan levelled on 81 minutes and that’s the way it stayed until 9 minutes from time when another late Greg Matheson goal made the difference, lifting Lovat to third in the league.
Marine Harvest National Division Oban Celtic 1 Glasgow Mid Argyll 1 The match of the day in shinty’s second tier was leaders Glasgow Mid Argyll’s trip to play Oban Celtic in a noon throw up at Mossfield. Oban Celtic boss Kenny Wotherspoon was back after missing the previous week’s defeat to Beauly. George MacMillan, Neil Carmichael, Kieran Gallacher, Lee Askew and Kieran Carnie were all missing as was Rory Bruce. Fulton Ronald returned to great effect, putting in a man of the match performance, as did Iain MacKechnie and Craig MacMillan, who started up front. Daniel MacMillan was on the bench as he’s not yet fully fit. GMA travelled north with a full squad for the second successive Saturday. Oban Celtic took the lead on 22 minutes when a clean ball forward from winger Iain MacKechnie was well won by Andy MacDonald on the by-line. MacDonald cut the ball back to Daniel Madej who slotted home. Craig MacMillan was fortunate that referee iain Kennedy let him away with a booking for retaliation just 5 minutes later and MacMillan was immediately substituted by manager Kenny Wotherspoon with Daniel MacMillan taking over. GMA pressed for an equaliser but Iain MacFarlane in the Celtic goal made some fine stops with one particularly fine save seeing him dive to his right to touch the ball round the post. GMA went back on the attack from the start of the second half and another MacFarlane save with his stick prevented the ball hitting the roof of the net. Celtic also had chances but failed to really test Robert Dunnings in the GMA goal. GMA eventually got their goal on 55 minutes when Calum Mclay dribbled round David Hill as the defender tried to usher the ball out for a goal-hit. There was a bit of a goalmouth scramble before Mclay found the net to make it 1-1. It was more or less a midfield battle after that and with 38 year old Andy Hunt on one wing and 37 year old Iain MacKechnie on the other, Oban Celtic proved age didn’t matter as they battled away alongside full centre Ally McKerracher.
Kilmallie 3 Strathglass 0 Kilmallie go third in the league after beating Strathglass 3-0 at The Canal Parks. Kilmallie’s Innes Blackhall served the second game of a two match ban. Ryan Stewart was also missing and Ian Robertson started at full back. Michael Stokes, Lawrence Jones, Seth Jones and Hamish Myers were amongst the Strathglass absentees. The game started at a slow pace with play flowing from end to end with little goalmouth action. Kilmallie broke the deadlock following a good move on the half hour mark. Martin Stewart played the ball from the centre line to Michael Rodger. His powerful drive was palmed away by Strathglass keeper Ally McAdams but young Calum MacDougall was quickest to the rebound and he struck the ball into the back of the net to make it 1-0. Kilmallie stretched their lead on 33 minutes when Scott Douglas was penalised for a double-handed reckless swing inside the D and referee John Angus Gillies pointed to the penalty spot. Michael Rodger made no mistake, crashing the spot-hit to the top of the net. Kilmallie started the second half well and Michael Rodger saw two excellent strikes saved by an on-form Ally McAdams. Kilmallie added a third goal on 65 minutes when a good one-two between Michael Rodger and Calum MacDougall ended with the latter lashed a 15 yard shot into the bottom left hand corner of the goal. MacDougall was very unlucky not to score a hat-trick goal on 70 minutes after going on a mazy run into the heart of the Strath defence but he eventually hit the ball high over the bar. Kilmallie claimed for a second penalty on the 73 minutes when, with a crowded goal area, the goal judged flagged for an infringement but referee Gillies over-ruled and allowed play to continue with Scott Douglas eventually clearing the ball to safety. Strath introduced there only substitute – Eoghan Stewart – a couple of minutes later and he got himself into a good position but blazed his effort wide. There were no bookings in the match. Kilmallie’s Calum MacDougall had a good game, working tirelessly before being replaced 10 minutes from the end. Jordan McPhee also played very well on the right wing. Strathglass keeper Ally McAdams made a number of good saves over the 90 minutes, keeping the score at 3-0. Josh Fraser and Scott Douglas also did their bit in the heart of the Strath defence.
Fort William 1 Inverness 0 Fort William go second in the division after beating Inverness 1-0 at An Aird. Inverness had James MacKenzie free of suspension. Alexander MacMillan scored the only goal of the game after 22 minutes. MacMillan made a late run from midfield and when Lachie Shaw sent a long ball to the back post, MacMillan controlled the ball and dribbled into the D before slipping it past the keeper to win the points.
Inveraray 2 Beauly 1 Inveraray edged out Beauly 2-1 in their 3pm throw up at The Winterton Inveraray’s Allan MacDonald was finally free of his five match suspension which carried forward from the end of last season. This wasn’t a match for the purists. The game’s opening goal came on 41 minutes when the ball was played to Lewis Montgomery around 15 yards from goal and he beat his marker before netting with a low drive. Beauly’s equaliser came a couple of minutes after the restart after a spell of pressure and Jack MacDonald was first to react to a long ball up-field and he blasted a ferocious shot past Inveraray keeper Scott MacLachlan ,who was left beaten by the sheer pace of the ball. The winner came on 55 minutes when Beauly failed to clear their lines and Lewis Montgomery fired home from 18 yards out. Both keepers - Inveraray’s Scott MacLachlan and Josh Grant for Beauly - made good saves as the outcome hung in the balance until the final whistle.
Marine Harvest North Division 1 Glengarry 1 Newtonmore 5 The top two in Marine Harvest North Division 1 met at Craigard with the Newtonmore seconds staying top of the table after they defeated Glengarry 5-1. Duncan Gorman gave ‘More the lead after 9 minutes and player / manager Orsten Gardner made it 2-0 on 17 minutes. Calum Stewart added a third on 22 minutes and although Nick Dalgety gave ‘Garry hope with a 38 minute strike, it wasn’t enough. Sorley Thomson restored ‘More’s three goal cushion a minute into the second half and the youngster got his second on 76 minutes to make it 5-1. Newtonmore are now three points clear of second placed Skye and the sides are due to meet in Portree this Saturday.
Skye Camanachd 6 Glenurquhart 0 The Skye Camanachd colts go second in North 1 after their 6-0 win over the Glenurquhart colts at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree. Skye took the lead after just 3 minutes with Ross Gordon scoring and, when the ball fell for Gordon on 13 minutes, he got his and Skye’s second. Martin Pringle fired home a third on 34 minutes to make it 3-0 at the break. Skye made a quick start to the second half with Stewart Taylor shooting home within a minute of the restart. Martin Pringle thumped home his second on 72 minutes after good play from Marcus Scott and a half-turn and shot from substitute Angie MacDonald on 85 minutes rounded off the Skye win. The win means Skye leap-frog Glengarry into second place in the division.
Aberdeen University 0 Fort William 3 Aberdeen University’s sluggish start to the season continued as they lost 3-0 to the Fort William reserves. The match was originally scheduled for Balgownie but was transferred to Grantown Grammar School with a noon start. Greg Kelly gave Fort William a 3 minute lead. Mark Fraser made sure of the outcome as his late goals on 73 and 80 minutes sealed the 3-0 win.
Kingussie 3 Kinlochshiel 3 The Kingussie seconds and the Kinlochshiel seconds drew 3-3 at The Dell ‘Shiel had led 2-0 and 3-1 before being pegged back twice by the Kings. Lewis MacVicar, Finlay MacRae and Fraser Reid scored for Kinlochshiel with a Kevin Thain brace and Liam Borthwick counting for Kingussie.
Marine Harvest South Division 1 Tayforth 1 Lochside Rovers 8 Champions Lochside Rovers secured their biggest win of the season so far, sweeping aside Tayforth 8-1 at Levenhall Links. Lochside’s Michael MacQueen played with an eye injury which had almost closed one of his eyes. He was pitched at full forward rather than at full centre and this move paid dividends Tayforth went in front after just 2 minutes with Brendan Duggan scoring from the left, on the angle. There seemed little danger as Duggan gathered the ball 30 yards from goal but, with the Lochside defence standing off him, he fired the ball into the opposite corner of the net. Lochside drew level on 11 minutes. Michael MacQueen saw his shot saved with his feet by the home keeper but Lennon Campbell was quickly in to make it 1-1 from the rebound. Lochside didn’t look back after that. Lewis Buchannan put the visitors in front on 15 minutes. Evan MacLellan, back in the Lochside side following a back injury, sent a free-hit forward to Neil MacFarlane who found Lewis Buchanan outside the D and he made it 2-1. Michael MacQueen got his first goal on the stroke of half-time. Another free-hit from the middle of the park found MacQueen one-on-one with his marker and he turned before striking the ball low into the corner of the net from 15 yards out. Michael MacQueen got his second 10 minutes into the second half. Lewis Buchanan beat a couple of players before setting up MacQueen to score. Lochside’s tactic of leaving Michael MacQueen isolated at full forward reaped further rewards as MacQueen completed his hat-trick on 68 minutes, taking a brilliant touch from a free-hit which was going wide, and he was again one-on-one with his marker, taking advantage to net from 15 yards. Some more good play from Lewis Buchanan set up Michael MacQueen for his fourth on 75 minutes, scoring with another low finish to make it 6-0. Just 4 minutes later, some neat inter-play between Ross Campbell and Lewis Buchanan allowed Michael MacQueen the chance to fire the ball into the top corner of the net from around the penalty spot. Lewis Buchanan got his second on 84 minutes with a bouncing 30 yard shot. This was a good win for a young Lochside side with Gareth Evans naming himself on the bench to make up the numbers. Craig Kirkpatrick had a good game whilst Evan MacLellan did well at centre against Rob Urquhart. Lewis Buchanan and Ross Campbell ran the show at half forward, always getting to the ball first, whilst Michael MacQueen deserves special mention for his five goal haul. Lochside are on the road again this Saturday as they head for Taynuilt.
Inveraray 4 Kilmory 5 Kilmory stay top of the division on goal difference after getting past the Inveraray seconds in a nine goal thriller at The Winterton This noon throw up had it all; nine goals, three red cards and two converted penalties. Former Kilmory player Rhys Williams got Inveraray off to a perfect start when he fired a rocket into the roof off the net with just 5 minutes played. Inveraray’s 16 year old keeper Gregor Mather, playing his first full 90 minutes in South Division 1, had no chance with Alister MacArthur’s equaliser. Neil Campbell put Inveraray into a 2-1 half-time lead with a well taken goal on 30 minutes. Kilmory started the second half the brighter and they were awarded a penalty by referee Alex MacVicar on 55 minutes which Alister MacArthur struck well to make it 2-2. This was Kilmory’s best spell of the game and they soon added two more goals through MacArthur again on 57 minutes and Hal Jones on 67 minutes. Inveraray gained a man advantage when Kilmory’s Bruce Johnston was sent off for two bookings. However it was Kilmory who scored a fifth on 76 minutes with Alister MacArthur netting four times for the second successive Saturday. The match threatened to boil over at times but referee Alex MacVicar handled proceedings very well. Inveraray’s Kieran Kirkhope and Kilmory’s Andrew Cunningham were both sent off following a scuffle. Inveraray’s John Mackenzie was switched up front for the latter stages and he converted a penalty on 81 minutes after referee MacVicar spotted a “kick” inside the D. MacKenzie got his second with a fine back-post strike to make it 5-4 on 90 minutes Inveraray pushed hard in injury time but Kilmory’s ten men held on for the win.

Marine Harvest North Division 2 Caberfeidh 1 Beauly 1 The Caberfeidh second team now only lead the division on goal difference after they came from behind to draw 1-1 with the Beauly second team in their noon throw up at Castle Leod.
