“It’s an away tie and we now have a run of away games starting against Skye in the league on Saturday and we don’t play at the Dell again until Saturday 18th May, ironically, also against Skye in the league.
Newtonmore are also on the road, against Mowi National Division side Kilmallie.
‘More co-manager Norman MacArthur said: “I’d have preferred a home tie.
“Kilmallie are managed by Mark MacPherson this season and he is putting together a young side who are coming together nicely.
“We last played them a couple of years ago, but they’ll have changed a bit from then.”
In the other quarter-final ties, which all take place on Saturday 20th April, last year’s runners-up Skye Camanachd host Inverness whilst Fort William have home advantage against Beauly.
The draw was conducted by Maisie Ewing and Taylor Cameron, two attendees at a Camanachd Association girls camp at Kirkhill, along with Heather Grant, Business Development Manager for cottages.com.
