Skye Camanachd received a boost with the news that 21 year old defender Jamie MacDonald is back in training.
Jamie MacDonald suffered a ripped cartilage to his knee in the Skye Camanachd first team's 6-3 win over Lochaber at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree on 5 June 2010.
He was one of Skye's top performers during the first part of the 2010 shinty season and he has endured a long recovery period which looks to be nearing an end.
The news that MacDonald is back in training and could be available for the start of the 2012 shinty season is a real boost for the Islanders.
