Referee Des McNulty will take charge of the Tulloch Homes Camanachd Cup Final later this month.
The match on September 16 will be between Kingussie and Oban Camanachd and will be staged at Inverness' Bught Park, marking 100 years since the first final at venue.
McNulty, who has been an official for more than six years has previously officiated major occasions in the shinty calendar including the Badenoch derby as well as Balliemore and Macaulay cup finals.
McNulty, from Dalmally, said: “The Tulloch Homes Camanachd Cup is the most prestigious cup in shinty and to be selected to officiate this game is a great honour.
"From my first game between Col-Glen and Ballachulish until now it has been a privilege to help shinty thrive.
"Catching up with familiar faces at matches is a great joy and the refereeing certainly helps with the fitness.
"I look forward to what I’m sure will be a cracking game and wish both teams the best of luck in the final.”
Officials director John MacRitchie said: “Des has shown dedication and commitment to officiating and has received commendation from shinty fans, players and indeed was awarded the Mowi Emerging Referee of the year back in 2017.
"We have every confidence in his ability to manage the occasion that is the Tulloch Homes Camanachd Cup Final.”
The rest of the officiating panel will be as goal judges: Martin MacLean and Graeme Irvine; linesmen: Ewen MacLean, Jamie MacPherson, Donald MacLeod and Ciaran Melens; fourth official: Steven MacLachlan.
