Camanachd Cup holders Kingussie, Oban, Fort and 'More reach semis

Tulloch Camanachd Cup holders Kingussie swept into the semi-finals with a 5-0 victory at Beauly.

Three miles along the road in Kiltarlity, it was the same score line for Oban Camanachd over Lovat. Newtonmore overcame a shock early setback to dispose of National Division hosts Inveraray 4-1 and a last-minute 2-1 winner at Rearaig sent Fort William through against Kinlochshiel.

Skye, once possible relegation candidates, progressed to the top half of the Mowi Premiership with a 4-0 home win over Caberfeidh.

Dylan Borthwick struck for Kingussie after just two minutes but the real match winner was Roddy Young, who grabbed a double late in the first half, and two more in the second.

Gary Lord, Daniel MacVicar and Ross Campbell in the first half, then Daniel MacCuish and Malcolm Clark in the second, gave Oban Camanachd a clear passage into the last four.

Ewan Donnan's early goal for National Division strugglers Inveraray opened the door for a possible surprise and, although Steven MacDonald quickly replied for the Premiership title contenders, the score remained level into the second half. An Iain Robinson double and a goal from Joe Coyle secured resurgent Newtonmore's 11th consecutive league and cup victory.

Ali Nixon grabbed an early breakthrough for Kinlochshiel, which was very quickly cancelled out by Victor Smith. The tie progressed to the cusp of extra time before Ewen Campbell snatched Fort's winner.

In Portree, an early own goal from Ian McCall was followed by a Dan MacDonald goal on either side of one from Ruaraidh MacLeod to secure Skye's fourth consecutive league victory and fifth place.

Bute, who beat pointless Strathglass 4-0, and Col Glen, who defeated Kilmallie 3-1 in their games in hand, closed in on National Division leaders Lochaber.
