Camanachd Cup Macaulay Cup MacTavish Cup Celtic Society Cup

Kevin Bartlett added a fourth on 72 minutes and Jamie Matheson got his second four minutes later.
A second from Kevin Bartlett on 82 minutes rounded off the 6-1 triumph.

Beauly 2 Skye Camanachd 4
Skye Camanachd kept their title push on track but had to come from two goals down to beat Beauly 4-2 at Braeview Park.

Skye welcomed back Ally MacDonald, Gilleasbuig MacDonald and John Gillies who replaced Connor Gilpin and Daniel Morrison who both travelled to Aberdeen with the second team.
Beauly had the wind in their favour in the first half and took the lead after four minutes. Iain MacLeod in the Skye goal made a save, but Jack MacDonald struck the rebound home.
Ian MacLeod made a couple of good stops from close range to deny Daniel Lamont before Lamont eventually found the back of the net on 24 minutes to make it 2- 0.

Skye introduced John Gillies for Kenny Campbell who had suffered a head knock.
Will Cowie squared the match on 55 minutes when he netted a rebound after Josh Grant had made a good save with his hand to parry a Jordan Murchison effort.

Robbie Brindle cleared a Jordan Murchison effort off the line and Josh Grant made a save as he was getting back up, keeping out a rebound attempt from Will Cowie.
Jordan Murchison sealed the win a minute from time with a back-hand shot from the left, 18 yards from goal, with the ball going in off the post.
There were similarities to Skye’s Camanachd Cup visit to Braeview Park earlier in the season when they also fought back from 2- 0 down to win 4-2.
Skye stay a point behind Caberfeidh but with a game in hand.

Strachur to host Bullough final
Strachur will host the 2017 Bullough Cup Final against the Inveraray second team.
The venue was decided by the toss of a coin at the Camanachd Association offices, which Strachur won, so the final will take place at Strachurmore on Saturday August 5 with a 3pm throw-up.
The sides currently occupy the top two places in Marine Harvest South Division 2. Inveraray hold a two-point advantage with each team having only three games remaining.
Strachur were given a Bullough Cup opening round bye when the Glasgow Mid Argyll seconds were unable to raise a team.
Inveraray also received free passage through to the quarter-finals where Marine Harvest South Division 1 side Kilmory were their opponents. Inveraray proved too strong, winning 6-1 at The Winterton.
Strachur met Oban Lorn at Strachurmore in the last eight of the competition, scoring five times without reply.
The win set up a semi-final meeting against Kyles Athletic at Tighnabruaich and, after two hours of shinty, the tie produced the most dramatic finish before Strachur won a final spot.
Inveraray’s semi-final task could hardly have been more difficult as they faced Marine Harvest South Division 1 title hopefuls Lochside Rovers at Ganavan. Lochside Rovers were on an 11-game winning run during which they’d only conceded two goals.
Inveraray’s Neil Campbell scored the only goal of the game after 31 minutes. Campbell took his goal well following a move in which all four Inveraray forwards combined to good effect. Campbell finished with a nice half-swing from a tight angle, under pressure from Steven Sloss, with both players having a great battle throughout.
Lochside spurned a number of chances to make their mark on this tie and Graham MacPherson in the Inveraray goal made some fine saves.
Strachur and Inveraray have met once already this season when four-goal Euan McMurdo helped Inveraray to a 6- 0 victory at The Winterton. David Robertson and young Ruaraidh Graham got the others.
The return league fixture is scheduled to take place at Strachurmore the following Saturday when the sides return to the scene of the final with two crucial league points at stake.
