Kingussie under-17 have been knocked out of the Mowi London Shield in heart-breaking fashion.
The Red and Blues and Beauly under-17 drew 2-2 in their final Mowi London Shield Section C match at Braeview Park last Tuesday.
Beauly led 2-0 at the interval through Marcus MacRae and Hector MacLennan, but the young Kings scored twice during the last 20 minutes with Dylan Justice and Miko Berowski on target.
The sides finish the group stage level on points so had a play-off match in Kingussie on Tuesday night (August 22) to see who progressed.
Unfortunately for the Badenoch side they were knocked out 3-1 in a penalty shoot-out after the teams had again drawn 2-2, this time at the Dell.
Once again it was Berowski with a brace.
Coach Ronald Ross said afterwards: “We got ourselves in a strong position going two up and maybe with a bit more experience we would have held that but we were delighted with the overall performance and desire from the players.
