The trophy, dating from 1931, will be on display in MacIntyres of Inveraray.

Dalmally hosted the inter-club Skips Cup and Archie MacColl-Smith and team represented Inveraray, however, Duncan Crawford and his team from Furnace won.

The new season will commence on the first week in October on Monday nights in the Church Hall in Inveraray.

Skye Camanachd picked up their first points of the season after beating Glasgow Mid Argyll (GMA) 1-0 at Pairc nan Laoch, Portree.

This was Skye’s first home match of the year and, in the first half, Jordan Murchison was a constant threat for the islanders with GMA’s Calum McLay going close when he fired narrowly by the far post from the left. Skye, who had wind advantage in the second half, came close to taking the lead when GMA failed to clear Kenny Cushnie’s corner from the right and Jordan Murchison’s strike from a central position came off keeper Jonathon Oates’ post.
