So, that's us heading into week three of the league season - and how many people out there would have predicted that Lovat and new boys Kinlochshiel would top the league after two matches?
Bute will hope that the Meadows can cope with a home tie with Kilmallie, a side looking for its first points of 2012 in the Orion Group Premiership. The islanders have been forced to play two (intended) home ties at the ground of the opposition, managing a single point in the opener against Fort William before losing 4-0 away to Newtonmore last week. As for 'More, this will be three home ties on the trot as they face Kinlochshiel on Saturday. It will be no easy match for the champs, with Gordy MacDonald and Finlay Macrae seemingly in hot goalscoring form for Kinlochshiel.
After a home defeat to Inveraray last week, in a match notable for a gritty display from the Loch Fyne-side men, Glenurquhart travel to another Argyll club - and last season's title runners-up - Kyles Athletic. With a good number of youngsters in its ranks, Glenurquhart is a dangerous team to take on early in the season. Especially with just one league match under your belt, as Kyles have. Kingussie got the better of Kyles last week. The Dell is never an easy place to pick up points, and to travel from Tighnabruaich for the first game of the season was always a big task. After a 3-1 defeat, the Kames viewing gallery will have to be in full voice to encourage their boys this weekend.
With Inveraray and Lovat having no scheduled fixture, the final premiership weekend tie is at the Dell, where Kingussie will host the hard-to-beat Fort William side in a tie switched from Lochaber to Badenoch.
Two draws from the opening brace of matches is not what Fort William are looking for, and this match should be a cracker.
But so much for my mumblings.
