Single Team Cup

successive meeting between the sides with Inveraray winning 4-2 a week earlier in the opening round of the HIS Sutherland Cup. Inveraray’s John MacKenzie and Strachur-Dunoon’s Liam Robertson missed this one as they were both red carded 10 minutes from the end during the previous encounter.

Ewan Donnan, the division’s top scorer, bagged both Inveraray goals, netting on 15 and 80 minutes to take his tally to eight goals for the season and Donnan has bagged a brace in all four of Inveraray’s matches so far this season. A satisfied Inveraray boss Andrew McMurdo said: “Today’s message to the players was to tidy up a bit with the ball and keep a clean sheet. On both accounts we were successful. It was great to continue with a mixture of youth and experience and as the season is progressing, we can see how that is helping the team gain momentum.”

Kilmory progressed in the only southern section first round tie in the Camanachd Association’s Single Team Cup Competition with a 7-0 victory against Tayforth at Peffermill.

Alex Cunningham on 13 minutes and Bruce Johnstone on 20 minutes built a 2-0 lead with Sandy Leiper on 25 minutes and another from Bruce Johnstone on the half-hour making it 4-0 at the break. Euan Gilmour added a fifth on 57 minutes and two late goals put gloss on the victory. Euan Gilmour got his second on 83 minutes and Alex Cunningham did likewise a couple of minutes later to make it 7-0.

The tie was closer than the final scoreline suggests but Kilmory were deadly in front of goal and will now face Strathspey or Boleskine in next month’s quarter finals.
