Old rivals in showdown

-

The Premiershi­p match of the day is at The Eilan between old rivals Newtonmore and Kyles Athletic, Newtonmore’s Steven Macdonald remains sidelined whilst Kyles hope to have Roddy Macdonald and Grant Irvine back.

Leaders Kinlochshi­el are favourites to beat neighbours Skye Camanachd at Kirkton. Shiel goalkeeper Scott Kennedy is unavailabl­e and so his brother Graham Kennedy steps up from the reserves. Skye are looking for their first points and keeper Iain Macleod returns but Iain Nicolson is out with a hamstring injury.

Third-placed Caberfeidh host Lochaber at Castle Leod and Martin Macdonald remains an injury concern. John Mackenzie is back for Lochaber.

Lovat host Glenurquha­rt at Blairbeg and Oban Camanachd are at home to Kingussie. The top two clash in the National Division, leaders Glasgow Mid Argyll playing Oban Celtic.
