It has not got any easier for Kingussie in the Tulloch Homes Camanachd Cup.
After negotiating a tricky tie against current league leaders Newtonmore at home at the Dell on Saturday, they have now been drawn away to Caberfeidh who are one place below the Red and Blues in the league.
The draw for quarter-final took place earlier today with the games being played on July 8.
The full draw is: GMA v Oban Camanachd; Caberfeidh v Kingussie; Beauly v Kinlochshiel & Kyles/Bute v Lovat.
Sandy Grant, Tulloch Homes Managing Director; Innes Smith, Springfield Properties CEO, Steven MacKenzie, Camanachd Association President and Derek Keir, Camanachd Association CEO were in attendance for the draw at Inverness Castle.
It will be the 100th anniversary of the first Camanachd Cup Final to take place in the city this September at Bught Park.
Mr MacKenzie said: “It was my pleasure to be at the draw this afternoon alongside Sandy and Innes from Tulloch Homes.
"This year’s final will mark 100 years since the first Camanachd Cup Final in Inverness and after this draw I know there will be real excitement amongst clubs and fans alike.
"There are a lot of exciting ties, with a tricky away tie in store for 2022 finalists Lovat against either Kyles Athletic or Bute.
"Beauly and Caberfeidh will each be looking to repeat the success they had earlier this season against Kinlochshiel and Kingussie respectively, while there is certain to be a south team in the semi-finals as Oban Camanachd travel to Peterson Park to play GMA."
Last year's Tulloch Homes Camanachd Cup Final was a sell-out at The Dell in Kingussie and the association has said ticket sales are already at unprecedented levels for Inverness 2023.
Mr Grant said: “We're delighted to continue our support of the Camanachd Cup and look forward to the upcoming quarter-final matches.
"Shinty is an important part of the Scottish sporting heritage and we're proud to be able to play a role in helping to keep it thriving.
"I know the shinty community will be looking forward to many of the matches not least holders Kingussie’s match against Caberfeidh.
"We wish all the teams the best of luck and can't wait to see who comes out on top in the end."
