Players with Strathspey Camanachd are now sporting their smart new kits thanks to Grantown-based building firm AW Laings.

Club vice-chair Lucy Davies said: “The club is delighted to once have Laings as our men’s main strip sponsor.

“We have been lucky enough to have their support for the last eight years which has been invaluable.

“On the behalf of Strathspey Camanachd, I just want to say a huge thank you to Geoff and all at Laings for their continued support.”

The Grantown side gave a good account of themselves before finally going down 5-3 to the Beauly seconds in their Mowi North Division 2 game at the town's grammar school on Saturday.

With no first team, league leaders Beauly fielded Jack MacDonald and he scored in the 3rd and 9th minutes, either side of Callum MacKintosh’s four minute reply to give Beauly an early 2-1 lead.

The Grantown side levelled for a second time through Murdo Ross on 20 minutes but Lee Dunbar restored Beauly’s lead a minute later.

Strathspey, with Kevin Hepturb playing really well, equalised for a third time through Bob Davies on 24 minutes and it remained 3-3 until the break.

Beauly’s Lee Dunbar was sent off by referee Neil MacDonald but despite this loss, Torrin Cairns scored twice on 61 and 75 minutes, with both goals coming from set- pieces, to give Beauly victory.

Strathspey travel to Balgate this Saturday for a tough Strathdearn Cup quarter final tie against holders Lovat.
