More make tricky trip to face top dogs Shiel

Today’s match of the day is the Marine Harvest Premiership meeting between league leaders Kinlochshiel and Newtonmore at Kirkton. Mark Macdonald could be back in the Shiel starting line-up, while Steven Macdonald is nearing a return from injury for More .

Lovat are hoping that Callum Cruden has shaken off a knock ahead of their meeting with Caberfeidh at Balgate.

The visiting Strathpeffer side’s Liam Symonds is available again after the end of his suspension. Oban Camanachd are set to be without Willie Neilson and Chrissie Macmillan for Kyles Athletic’s visit to Mossfield.

Keith Macmillan, however, returns for the hosts, who will have to make a late decision over Andrew King’s shoulder injury. Skye Camanachd have Jordan Murchison and Stewart Grant back in the reckoning for their relegation battle with Glenurquhart at Pairc nan Laoch in Portree.

Skye’s Iain Murray is out injured, though, while Glenurquhart have John Peteranna fit again. Lachie Smith is unlikely to make it.

Kingussie’s Louis Munro could make a timely return against Lochaber at The Dell.

John Mackenzie is an injury concern for Lochaber whilst Brian Macdonald is definitely out.

Liberty British Aluminium Balliemore Cup holders Fort William, with Alexander Macmillan available after a ban, travel to play Oban Celtic in the second round of this year’s competition.

Kilmallie should be too strong for Ballachulish at The Canal Parks, in-form Glengarry will test Beauly at Craigard and the tie between Inverness and Glasgow Mid Argyll will be rescheduled.
