Newtonmore seconds' busy schedule continues as they go in search of a cup double when they meet the Lovat seconds in the Highland Industrial Supplies Sutherland Cup Final at Blairbeg tomorrow.

It is the most prestigious cup at colts level.

The sides met in the Strathdearn Cup Final at the end of August, earlier this year, when the Blue and Whites were convincing 7-1 winners and they go into this clash as holders after beating Lovat 5-1 in last year’s final.

’More’s route to the final has seen them dispose of Lochside Rovers, Kilmallie, Beauly and Glenurquhart while Lovat have beaten Strathglass, Kingussie and Glasgow Mid Argyll en-route to the final.

Newtonmore will be without Charlie Ferguson, who has been in such good form this season, as he is on holiday.

They will also check on full back Cameron McNiven who has been out with a broken finger.
