Kingussie's James Falconer is a doubt for the final having suffered a nasty gash at the weekend in a pitch-side collision.

Kingussie have several injuries concerns as they look to win their second piece of silverware this season in the Macaulay Cup final.

The Red and Blues face Oban Camanachd again this Sunday – having just beaten them 4-1 to book their place at the weekend in the Tulloch Homes Camanachd Cup final at the Dell.

It has been a hectic schedule for the Kings of late but that is just the way manager John Gibson wants it.

He said: “This is the kind of pressure you want.

"It looks as if we will have a couple of weeks off after the Macaulay, so there will be plenty of time to rest up then but, for now, all our focus is on the Macaulay Cup final on Sunday.

“Savio (Genini) took a knock just below the shin pad on Sunday but I think he will be okay.

"James (Falconer) is more of a concern though.

“He collided with what looked like a metal beam across the edge of the pitch which is a ridiculous situation really.

"He had to have eight or nine stitches in a knee gash so he might not make it. Calum Grant and Alexander Michie are definitely out.

“Last weekend’s game will have little effect on Sunday’s final though other than to make Oban Camanachd all the more determined.

"This is their big game of the season so we will have to be every bit as good, if not better, than we were on Sunday to win.”
