AND WE'RE OFF...

Shinty's 2013 league season go underway today (March 2) - with not too many shocks on the opening round of matches up and down the country.

Fort William travelled to Argyll to face 2012 Camanachd Cup finalists Inveraray, and it was one of those opening day matches where the players looked rusty. No matter how many pre-season friendlies you play, or the number of training sessions players endure - nothing matches real combat.

A young Fort William squad lined up against vastly experienced Inveraray counterparts. And experience told in the end.
