The Badenoch side started as they meant to continue, with a first-minute cracker from skipper Sorley Thomson.

Lovat made it all square just five minutes later, through Raymond Rennie, but the Blues and Whites were hungry for more – lots more.

The stage was set for a tour-de-four from time-served goal glutton Glen MacKintosh.

The rest of the first half saw him propel Newtonmore to dominance with conversions on 21, 25, 28.
