Fort William cut Kingussie's lead at the top of the Mowi Premiership to two points with a 2-0 win away at Caberfeidh.

Goals from Archie MaKinnon and Lachie Shaw gave the Fort the victory as Kingussie were held to a 1-1 draw with Kyles Athletic.

A goal from Roddy Young just before half time gave Kingussie the lead but Roan MacVicar rescued a late point for Kyles.

Elsewhere Newtonmore overwhelmed Skye 4-0 in Portree to move up three places to fourth, while Oban Camanachd edged Lovat 3-2 at Mossfield to consolidate third.

Camanachd roared back in response to Graeme MacMillan's opener for Lovat with a double from Ross MacMillan after Lorne Dickie's equaliser.

Danny Kelly narrowed Camanachd's lead to a single goal but Lovat were unable to salvage a point.

Meanwhile, Kinlochshiel deepened Beauly's misery with a 3-0 success at Braeview.

John MacRae gave Kinlochshiel a half-time lead and completed his double after a strike from Donald Nixon, to condemn Beauly to 10 consecutive defeats.

The highlight of the second round of the Ferguson Balliemore Cup was Oban Celtic's 10-0 rout of visitors Ardnamurchan.

Kyle MacFarlane and Pearce McBeth both scored hat tricks for Celtic, but were outdone by Calum McLay's four goals in Glasgow Mid Argyll's 6-2 success at Kilmallie.

Col Glen progressed 2-1 away to Drumnadrochit and Inveraray came from behind to edge hosts Bute on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
