Oban and Kingussie share spoils at top of Premiership
Oban Camanachd missed a chance to dislodge Kingussie from the top of the Mowi Premiership when the two high fliers drew 1-1 at Mossfield. Fort William sustained their first league defeat and dropped to third when they lost 2-0 at home to Skye. Newtonmore's progress continued with a 2-0 defeat of visitors Lovat, and Beauly grabbed their first point in a 1-all draw away to Kyles. It was goalless between Kinlochshiel and Caberfeidh. Kingussie went in front through Roddy Young on the hour and seemed to be holding on until Daniel MacVicar equalised with six minutes left, but there was to be no late winner. Dan MacDonald gave Skye the breakthrough after quarter of an hour and doubled their lead early in the second half, with Fort unable to respond. These two games could have produced any of three different leaders but Kingussie remain one point clear of Camanachd while Fort drop to third, a further point behind and with a game in hand. Euan Dingwall and Matthew Sloss, both in the second half, lifted Newtonmore to just a further point adrift of a top three place. Roan MacVicar scored early for Kyles but Beauly refused to crumble and struck back before half time with an equaliser from Iain Hunter. Bute and Col Glen continued their pursuit of National Division leaders Lochaber. In Rothesay, Bute edged Glenurquhart 1-0 just a week after their spectacular 5-0 drubbing of the same opponents on the road. Meanwhile in Cannich, it was 3-1 for Col Glen against hosts Strathglass who still remain pointless. The English Shinty Association only makes rare forays north to compete in minor cup ties, but did so in style with a 7-1 eclipse of Stirling in the Bullough Cup at Yoker.
