Silverware beckons for shinty clubs

Cup action took centre stage on Saturday June 19 after Inveraray played a rescheduled league tie as an evening game earlier in the week.

Artemis Macaulay Cup – First Round: Inveraray 0 Glasgow Mid Argyll 1

Glasgow Mid Argyll edged out Inveraray in a 1-0 success at the Winterton.

The only goal of the game came a minute short of the hour. The ball was played through to former Oban Celtic player Ally McKerracher in the box. McKerracher was being tackled and was falling down but still managed to slot the ball into the bottom left corner of the net.

It was a tidy finish under pressure and one which won his side a trip to play Kyles Athletic in the next round.
