Kingussie have no injury worries ahead of Macaulay Cup final
It is the one trophy they missed out on last season.
So Kingussie will be desperate to win back the Artemis Macaulay Cup when they play Oban Camanachd on the west coast side’s home soil at Mossfield on Saturday.
Kingussie manager Iain Borthwick said: “All the boys are fit for the final.
“It was helpful to rest Thomas Borthwick against Fort William last week as his calf was quite tight following training.
“Lee Bain came off as his hamstring was getting tight, but they should both be fine for this Saturday.
“You can never write Oban Camanachd off.
“They are a good, young team, and they can all play class shinty.
“They had a good result against Glenurquhart last weekend and I watched them in the Camanachd Cup semi against Lovat when I thought they were the better team over the course of the 90 minutes but they just couldn’t put Stuart MacDonald in the Lovat goal under enough pressure in second half.
“Oban are at home which you would think is their advantage, but we’ve had good results at Mossfield over the years.
“Mossfield is such a good surface, a credit to the ground staff, and the size of the pitch will suit both teams.
“We just need to correct last year’s mishaps and try and come home with the goods this year.
“Here’s hoping that this Saturday makes for another great final.”
Throw up is at 2.05pm and Iain Kennedy in the match referee.
The final will once again be broadcast live on BBC ALBA.
Audiences can watch live or on demand on BBC ALBA and BBC iPlayer at www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00226ss
The coverage will be hosted by BBC Spòrs presenter Micheal Steele, and he will be joined by Aaron Macphee and retired-player Drew McNeil, with commentary from Ali Maclennan.
This is part of the partnership between BBC ALBA and the Camanachd Association, the world governing body of shinty, which aims to enhance the live and highlights coverage broadcast annually.
Fiona MacKenzie, BBC ALBA commissioning editor, said: “We understand the importance of televising coverage of major games as it takes the sport into areas out with the traditional shinty communities.
“It also allows matches to be seen by fans who, for a variety of reasons, may be unable to travel to the venues to show their support.
“That’s why we’re bringing our viewers all the excitement from Saturday’s Macaulay Cup Final with live coverage from 2pm.”
