- Published
Badenoch scooped both awards in women's shinty's double header finals at The Eilan in Newtonmore.
They defeated Lochaber 2-0 to win the female game's premier award, the Valerie Fraser Women's Camanachd Cup, after their second string edged their Inverness counterparts 7-5 for the Mowi Challenge Cup.
Megan Ralph gave Badenoch the lead just 10 minutes into the main final, her shot squeezing in past the right post.
Then quarter of an hour into the second period, Hope Borthwick picked up a weak Lochaber clearance and doubled her side's lead.
In the free-scoring Challenge Cup game for the reserve team title, a remarkable first half ended 4-4 with hat-tricks from Badenoch's Orla Olds, and Isla MacNeil for Inverness.
Olds added a fourth as Badenoch surged to a 7-4 lead after the break, before Kamryn Hughes grabbed her second for Inverness.
A quiet day for men's shinty produced a 4-3 victory for the North over the South in the annual under-21 inter-area match for the Caol Cup at Inveraray.
Cailean MacLeod and Ewan Donnan gave the South an early 2-0 lead and Matthew Sloss replied for the North before half-time.
However the North dominated the latter stages, starting with an equaliser from Xander Ross.
MacLeod quickly put the South ahead again, but MacLeod's second and Logan Beaton's late winner clinched it for the North.
