OLD BADENOCH FIRM STILL TRAILS

I see the wee teams in shinty have managed to gain some ground this weekend.
Newtonmore are now up to third, and Kingussie fifth.
I posed the question whether Lovat and Kinlochshiel would still be on top of shinty's Orion Premiership come tea-time today.
By Jove, they are.
Good on them, and Inveraray opened their campaign with an away victory against Glenurquhart - no mean feat.
Biggest composite score (11 goals in one game) of the day came at Ganavan, near Oban, where Lochside Rovers overcame Inveraray juniors 7-4. A word must go to the unfortunate Russell MacKinlay, the well-known hit man for the Fyne-siders, who scored all of Inveraray's four goals in the game - yet still ended up on the losing side.
He was not alone in scoring a big number of goals in this weekend's matches, and worth a mention is the hat-trick scored by two different players in Col Glen's win versus Glasgow Mid Argyll in the same Marine Harvest South Division Two as that contested at Ganavan. Ewan Morley and Steven MacKellar were the triple-hit marksmen in an 8-1 win at Glendaruel.
