MacAulay Cup Final against Kyles Athletic and Newtonmore. Throughout | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
is on about 20 minutes time. Good afternoon and welcome from me from a | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
very sunny open. This trophy here is arguably the most stages an | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
important trophy in the shinty world. This afternoon, one of the | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
sides will go home with this, will it be | :00:56. | :00:55. | |
sides will go home with this, will Kyles Athletic Ord Newtonmore West | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
two heavyweights in the shinty world. | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
The MacAulay Cup 2013 is underway. Kyles is in all blue. There is | :01:08. | :01:18. | |
nobody at home. Danny McRae has made the breakthrough. Kyles have | :01:19. | :01:34. | |
scored. There is a red card for the Newtonmore captain! At the final | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
whistle, Kyles Athletic are of the MacAulay Cup winners! Victory for | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
Kyles a year ago, but Newtonmore would get their revenge in the | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
Camanachd Cup final. The rivalry in jurors between these two giants of | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
the game. Jamie Robinson, I'd have absolutely nothing! Glen Mackintosh | :02:04. | :02:15. | |
with their second goal! Danny McRae! It has been a good victory for | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
Newtonmore. This is the Camanachd Cup. We are looking forward to | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
another epic encounter. Two men that know all there is to know about | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
shinty in Scotland join me this afternoon. Jimmy Gow and Drew | :02:32. | :02:32. | |
MacNeil. Jimmy, we saw the great footage of | :02:33. | :02:42. | |
these two sides going head-to-head last season. It is not always these | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
two teams, is it! How big a rivalry is between these teams question mark | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
they are at the top two teams in shinty. The rivalry is huge. We were | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
here last year and it was a very feisty encounter, disallowed goals, | :03:04. | :03:15. | |
sending off, it is whetting the appetite, isn't it question mark I | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
would imagine it will be lots of controversy again. This picture | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
always produces goals. The last number of final let's have a look at | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
the journey of Kyles Athletic this year. | :03:34. | :03:48. | |
In round two, they met Glasgow Mid Argyll. Roddy McDonald got to that | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
time. In the semifinal, just the one goal from Ruddiman Donald, but still | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
at 3-0 victory away from home against Oban Camanachd. As short | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
time ago the Kyles Athletic team arrived in their natty yellow | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
minibus. Looking in fine fettle, it has to be said. This is their last | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
chance of winning major silverware this season. | :04:21. | :04:30. | |
Just a short time ago I spoke to the comanager. The camp is relaxed. | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
Separation is something I find quite important. If they are relaxed in | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
the bus on the way up, that is usually a good sign. Quietly | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
confident. We have been playing well recently. We are the underdogs as | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
usual. I think we have a chance today. Mossfield Park suits us well. | :04:58. | :05:07. | |
We are two teams that are getting to the national finals quite regularly. | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
That bill is a spirit into it, that you want to perform on the big | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
stage. You want to walk away as winners, not the losing team. We | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
will be very determined today. I have scored a few goals in this | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
competition this year. I am looking forward to yet. It suits me well. I | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
have a good record here and have had some good times here. I am looking | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
forward to it. They moved the ball well in the forward line. They will | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
play well on this park. We enjoy playing here, it suits our style of | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
shinty. Conditions are great. Should be a good game. I embarrassed Roddy | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
McDonald as the star man of Kyles Athletic, he was embarrassed, but he | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
is the star man, isn't he question mark yes, he is a huge part of it. | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
When he clicks, Kyles clicks. Most things go through him. He scored two | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
goals here last year. What are his major strengths question mark not | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
many weaknesses, that is the thing about him. I like to see him running | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
from deep. That is a great dispatched there. He | :06:28. | :06:42. | |
was just too quick for him there. He has really good balance of either | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
side. That for such such a tall man. He is very, very brave. Jimmy, do | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
you like to watch him question mark yes, without a doubt. When he is on | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
form, Kyles is on form. He is not just a foreword, you could have him | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
in the middle of the park or as a defender. It is such a | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
community-based thing, the world of shinty. Families tend to | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
generations. His dad, Kenny, still playing in goal. There he is, | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
forming up today. He had a cigarette in his mouth earlier today! Kenny is | :07:24. | :07:31. | |
a legend in the game. He is still going well at his age. It must be | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
fantastic for him playing alongside his son. In terms of this pitch in | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
open at Mossfield Park, will display into Kyles's can't question mark I | :07:45. | :07:57. | |
think it will. It is a fast park. It is a big surface. I hope that Kyles | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
will play their expansive game. It takes two teams to tango. Newtonmore | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
are one of the most successful sides in shinty. Let's look at have their | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
roots to the final. It started with a big victory over Kilmallie. In | :08:16. | :08:28. | |
round two, it was a resurgent king disease -- Kingussie side. Then, | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
Lovat, Newtonmore saw them off as well. Newtonmore arrived in a | :08:36. | :08:45. | |
gigantic coach. It is a massive day that these players. They come expect | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
and hopeful to redress the issues that they had last year at the hands | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
of Kyles. Danny McRae scored last year and had a goal disallowed. I | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
spoke to their management earlier. Last season was last season. We were | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
unfortunate, beaten on the day. This year it is a whole new game. That is | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
at work as a motivation tool in terms of the players question mark | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
every final you get to, you are not looking for motivation, they should | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
be motivated. We will be up for the fight today, I'm sure. This year is | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
a different final. We need to forget about last year and get on with it. | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
Hopefully we will get the Vic tree this year. One or two guys are | :09:37. | :09:45. | |
struggling today. We have had a terrible year with injuries, but we | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
have got what we have got. Whoever gets on the part today, they will | :09:49. | :10:01. | |
give 100%. We thought we had a good goal last year, but the referee saw | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
that in a different light and you just have to take that decision. It | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
is a big part, it sits Kyles, we heard that last year but our park is | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
a big park and we play on that every week. We will go the whole 90 | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
minutes, but is for sure. Two goals last year, same again today from new | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
question mark I hope so, if not more! Let's hope we get another | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
classic final. I great atmosphere here at Park in Oban. People of all | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
generations getting involved and enjoying the summer sunshine, even | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
the West Highland terrier is. Let's hope we have an enjoyable final. | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
Last year was a classic. It was a great game to be at. Plenty of | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
controversy, disallowed goals. I think that still annoys Newtonmore, | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
doesn't that question mark they have forgotten about it, that is for | :11:04. | :11:13. | |
sure. This one here,, John the scores at the back post. It was | :11:14. | :11:23. | |
obstruction. Yes, it was. The referee there is the fourth official | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
today. What was your feeling about it question mark yes, I think you | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
did file him. -- he did file macro him. | :11:39. | :11:48. | |
I am pretty sure here that the referee thought he kicked the ball. | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
For me, I think there was nothing wrong with that one. It is | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
unfortunate. Does it give them extra incentive today question mark it has | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
to, doesn't it question mark well, I think they have used it already, | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
they turned round and beats them in the Scottish. I played at full | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
centre throughout my life. When the ball is in the egg you have to swing | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
at the ball. Only Jimmy will know he was gone for the ball or not. That | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
looks vicious from that point of view. You were saying there was | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
nothing in that. David Zavaroni had just scored there. David is playing | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
against Jamie. That is Jamie just trying to say to David, I am still | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
here. I thought it was OK. Was he having a swing at the referee as | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
well question mark I think the referee might have thought so! Halle | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
bigger player is Danny McRae question mark he always seems to be | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
amongst the goals. He never seems to be fully fit. He is big for | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
Newtonmore. Danny never seems to be fully fit. Danny McRae is a great | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
player. He plays roundabout the penalty area all the time. Give him | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
a chance at all and he will bury it is, without a doubt. He scored in | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
the Camanachd Cup Cup Final as well. What is your prediction for the | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
match today. There is so much at stake here, so many subplots. I | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
think I will go for Newtonmore. I think they are due to win this. On | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
form, you would say Kyles of the team on form. Very intriguing | :13:54. | :14:03. | |
contest. Newtonmore are out for revenge. It is due prediction | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
question mark I was convinced last year that Newtonmore were going to | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
win it and I was wrong. I think Kyles are more mobile, very mobile | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
across the middle. I think it will be one across the middle today. | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
Gentlemen, let's enjoy this afternoon. The match is just about | :14:23. | :14:32. | |
to get underway. Piper, a former world champion, is going to lead at | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
the sides this afternoon here at Mossfield Park. | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
world champion, is going to lead at the sides this afternoon here -- | :14:43. | :14:43. | |
lead-out Drew MacNeil is the co-commentator | :14:44. | :15:18. | |
today, but your commentator is the voice of shinty himself, Hugh Dan | :15:19. | :15:19. | |
MacLennan. Hugh Dan MacLennan: a Paterson | :15:20. | :15:39. | |
setting here today. -- a magnificent setting here today. Both teams are | :15:40. | :15:48. | |
in blue and white, it has to be said. It is a great setting. The | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
golf club at the far end of the field. There are a few more | :15:57. | :16:15. | |
attractive settings in shinty. There is one of ours, the new president of | :16:16. | :16:25. | |
the Federation. Douglas Cooper, from the sponsors. | :16:26. | :16:36. | |
There is the captain of Newtonmore, Scott Chisholm. There are the match | :16:37. | :16:57. | |
officials. Here is the Kyles team. Thomas White is the captain today. | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
Some of a famous father. -- some of a famous father. | :17:06. | :17:28. | |
Let's have a look at the Kyles team. It has strength in depth. A | :17:29. | :17:41. | |
full strength team. Kenny McDonald is in goal, with his son upfront. | :17:42. | :17:52. | |
The captain at number ten. Newtonmore, they are just as strong. | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
All the questions about the rest are being put aside. -- about fitness. | :17:58. | :18:08. | |
Robinson, controversially red carded last year, is back in the centre. | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
Russell is an emerging talent. Captain Scott Chisholm at number | :18:16. | :18:30. | |
eight. The substitutes, well, maybe Kyles has the stronger bench. | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
Cameron is the referee. His second final in four years. Drew MacNeil | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
knows the man who scored the fastest goal ever in a Camanachd Cup final. | :18:45. | :18:56. | |
That was about all he did that day! He would say that himself. A huge | :18:57. | :19:09. | |
field here at Mossfield Park. Michael Russell is heading towards | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
the left-hand goal. Newtonmore will be defending the town end. Getting | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
towards the golf course. Kenny McDonald is in his customary | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
position to our right. Kyles are in blue and white, with the blue and | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
white hoops being Newtonmore. Derek Cameron is just confirming with his | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
other officials that he can set the 2004 team MacAulay Cup into action. | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
Action there will be. First shot on the Michael Ritchie. | :19:46. | :20:00. | |
We did earlier preferred a lot to the fact that Grant was coming back. | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
That was an impressive start from grants. He was a brilliant player | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
until he got his problems with his knee. It will take a bit of pressure | :20:11. | :20:21. | |
off Rodime at Donald. -- Roddy McDonald. | :20:22. | :20:36. | |
Kyles already, this fast, expansive game we were talking about. The | :20:37. | :20:46. | |
grass has been freshly cut, just yesterday. It is a sublime playing | :20:47. | :20:55. | |
surface. The weather just as beautiful. Michael Ritchie took that | :20:56. | :21:13. | |
one out of the air beautifully. Big tackled there. -- tackle there. | :21:14. | :21:24. | |
There is a broken spec already. It is a good tackle. Michael Ritchie | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
had a brilliant game last week against Lovat. Good tackle there in | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
front of the goal by Cameron Binnie. Good hit by McCarter. That is what | :21:37. | :21:58. | |
you want your hats to do. -- have you back -- | :21:59. | :22:16. | |
This is the first chance for Danny McRae. Calum Miller has been six | :22:17. | :22:36. | |
weeks out. If there is a surprise, in the Kyles team, maybe that is it, | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
that he has come back after such a long absence. Kenny McDonald has the | :22:41. | :22:50. | |
sun in his eyes. If you were playing in midfield, QB trying to drop the | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
ball just in front of the goalkeeper. Yes, I would, just to | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
see if the sun would cause a problem. The redoubtable Kenny | :23:04. | :23:14. | |
McDonald. He didn't get too much on that one. | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
His half backs have got him out of jail. | :23:23. | :23:47. | |
This is another ball the Kenny McDonald will have to be very | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
careful with. Calum Miller has done the business. | :23:53. | :24:13. | |
This is Calum Stewart, a late change to the Newtonmore team. What do you | :24:14. | :24:24. | |
make of that question mark I think they have a problem with Fraser | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
MacIntosh. Calum Stewart has great pace. I like him as a player. It | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
will be interesting to see how he gets on. Two of Newtonmore's Young | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
guns, Calum Stewart... He is the only player in the field with a | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
helmet today. He has made his mark in the Sutherland Cup Final already. | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
He knows his way to goal. Perhaps an injury there. Rolling substitutes, | :25:01. | :25:11. | |
of course. There is a tactical value in that as well. Good ball across | :25:12. | :25:13. | |
the goal. Just an indication of the warmth. | :25:14. | :25:45. | |
The players will be taking on water as the game goes on. Russell. What | :25:46. | :25:54. | |
do you make of the rolling substitutes question mark do you | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
think the manager Jimmy making enough you so that question mark I | :25:59. | :26:00. | |
don't. I think it is a great idea. I wish they had them in my day. Bit | :26:01. | :26:22. | |
of a sandwich there. A couple of tasty swings, if I can put it that | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
way. Another broken spec. Roberto Zavaroni this time. No prisoners. | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
No, just as we expected. Kyles are drifting back. This is | :26:37. | :27:05. | |
their replying coming back to midfield. There is a breeze. Visit | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
significant question mark no, I just think that was badly hit. David | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
Zavaroni tried to go up the middle, instead of out wide. Their passing | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
has just gone of a little bit, but that will come back. That is one of | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
the iconic images of shinty, the flag on the Hill at Mossfield Park. | :27:32. | :27:40. | |
Always well populated. Kenny McDonald twice has misfired on his | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
hit out. It is not quite coming off Kyles in | :27:47. | :28:07. | |
the forward at the moment. No, it is not. Danny McRae comes well out of | :28:08. | :28:19. | |
his comfort zone here. Not quite nosebleed territory. Good ball | :28:20. | :28:34. | |
inside by Glen MacIntosh. Again, Kenny Donald deals with it. This | :28:35. | :28:42. | |
time off his feet. That plan being to try to make the goalkeeper played | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
the ball, hoping for a bounced towards the onrushing forwards. That | :28:49. | :28:49. | |
is a bad call. Kyles are drifting backwards at the | :28:50. | :29:07. | |
moment. They look as if they are playing very deep. Isn't that a | :29:08. | :29:15. | |
magnificent scene question mark I imagine there is not just food on | :29:16. | :29:16. | |
that hill! That is a good turn and a good | :29:17. | :29:28. | |
clearance. Kyles had men free. Ritchie got it | :29:29. | :29:39. | |
away. goal that he normally would be. Is | :29:40. | :30:26. | |
that a tactic? The referee has taken the view that | :30:27. | :31:20. | |
it was six of one and half a dozen of the other. | :31:21. | :31:48. | |
Nobody is stringing the passes together. | :31:49. | :32:54. | |
It is all about dominating the space. | :32:55. | :34:11. | |
The players are allowed one go at the hit in. Technically he could | :34:12. | :34:18. | |
have been booked for that. Just a feeling that it is more | :34:19. | :34:42. | |
left-to-right at the moment. 30 yards with nobody in the middle of | :34:43. | :34:49. | |
the park. A huge gap. Kyles are looking to get the forwards in. A | :34:50. | :35:05. | |
good ball in from MacIntosh. MacRae had Miller on his back. | :35:06. | :35:13. | |
Irvine, again it is caught. Newtonmore's midfield winning every | :35:14. | :35:25. | |
ball at the moment. Irvine was too clever, with a lovely little touch. | :35:26. | :35:35. | |
A deft touch through to MacRae! It's Danny MacRae with the first strike | :35:36. | :35:46. | |
for Newtonmore, and that has been coming. A good linkup, Calum Stewart | :35:47. | :35:57. | |
will be delighted. Well inside the D. Picked his spot. | :35:58. | :36:01. | |
will be delighted. Well inside the D. Picked Difficult for the | :36:02. | :36:02. | |
goalkeeper. A spin on the It just took a bounce | :36:03. | :36:22. | |
in the wrong place. 1-0, Newtonmore. An important early | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
strike after 16 minutes from Danny MacRae. Just a hint that Newtonmore | :36:27. | :36:33. | |
were beginning to win the match in midfield. Gradually easing up the | :36:34. | :36:42. | |
pressure. How important is the first goal in a final? It's difficult | :36:43. | :36:53. | |
because Kyles are 18 like a pop that boils over. If they get momentum, | :36:54. | :36:59. | |
they will boil over. -- a team that is like a pot that boils over. | :37:00. | :37:05. | |
Important for Newtonmore to get the first one, I think. It's about | :37:06. | :37:15. | |
keeping their nerve. They will certainly be aware of the | :37:16. | :37:16. | |
possibility. That was a pure hit. Irvine, well policed by the | :37:17. | :37:33. | |
Newtonmore defence at the moment. They are well aware of the potential | :37:34. | :37:41. | |
threat. Just a slight scuffing. A good turn, but Miller read it | :37:42. | :37:43. | |
beautifully. MacArthur. The heavier of the two | :37:44. | :37:57. | |
centrelines, Newtonmore, and that will count as the game goes on. | :37:58. | :38:06. | |
A wonderful atmosphere around the pitch. On the Hill. In good order. | :38:07. | :38:18. | |
That's better from Kyles, looking for Roddy MacDonald, who has been | :38:19. | :38:24. | |
peripheral at this stage. Lost his stick. Frustration. He's getting | :38:25. | :38:34. | |
wound up. I thought the ref could have let him play the ball. He blew | :38:35. | :38:42. | |
for Roddy's safety, but I don't think he was in danger there. A | :38:43. | :38:47. | |
tactical decision for Kyles to make, do they leave Roddy upfront? | :38:48. | :38:53. | |
Danny MacRae, driving into the heart of the Kyles defence. Stewart turns. | :38:54. | :39:03. | |
Kenny McDonald saves. It almost happened in slow motion. It looked | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
as if it would bounce over his stick. Just managed to stretch | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
across to it. Just didn't get hold of it. That's a good save. He just | :39:12. | :39:20. | |
made it, that was a tricky save. A lot is made of his age, but he got | :39:21. | :39:26. | |
up quickly. A good stretch from the keeper. Both keepers have played | :39:27. | :39:39. | |
their part. MacRae's backhand. Some of the Kyles hitting is not as crisp | :39:40. | :39:44. | |
as you would want to see. Grant Irving, at pace he can take them on. | :39:45. | :39:54. | |
He decided to send it in. Norman Campbell, meat and drink to him. | :39:55. | :40:03. | |
Danny MacRae unleashes another one. It's end to end. The pace of the | :40:04. | :40:13. | |
game, increasing. It shows us what they can do. Disappointed in | :40:14. | :40:21. | |
Kyles's midfield. They have to get into position. Paul delivers a good | :40:22. | :40:27. | |
ball, and that is a cracker of a shot from Danny MacRae. Kyles, on | :40:28. | :40:33. | |
the left. Most of the attack is coming up their left-hand side. | :40:34. | :40:38. | |
Zavaroni, looking for his brother. A mistake, to Roddy MacDonald. This | :40:39. | :40:42. | |
time Steven MacDonald gets the better of him. Again Kyles send it | :40:43. | :40:53. | |
in, but MacDonald steps in. Look at that strike, exactly what you want. | :40:54. | :41:00. | |
That is a never ball in shinty, the pass inside like that. | :41:01. | :41:17. | |
Binnie, good defence from him but he's lost it eventually. Roddy | :41:18. | :41:25. | |
MacDonald lets it go. Not quite fast enough to Irvine. Who else, Paul | :41:26. | :41:27. | |
MacArthur. Ball of a sudden, every ball is | :41:28. | :41:44. | |
landing at a food shirt. Danny MacRae, a nice move. -- hooped. | :41:45. | :41:57. | |
Glen MacIntosh unleashes another one. Purely on percentage, if you | :41:58. | :42:04. | |
have ten shots, some of them are going to go in and that's what is | :42:05. | :42:11. | |
happening now. Michael Ritchie has had three or four saves at the other | :42:12. | :42:15. | |
end. Newtonmore looked like they are going to get the next goal. Another | :42:16. | :42:21. | |
bad mis-hit from Kenny, that's four now. | :42:22. | :42:29. | |
Not quite sure why that should be happening. Jonathan Sutherland is | :42:30. | :42:35. | |
talking to the Newtonmore manager. You must be delighted with the early | :42:36. | :42:41. | |
goal from Danny MacRae. Yes, I am. They started quick and we have come | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
back into it, with four very good chances, Danny Cook is goal well, we | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
should have had another one, but yes, delighted. -- Danny took his | :42:51. | :42:56. | |
goal. Is this how used land the start? They have not pressed on and | :42:57. | :43:04. | |
we seem to be winning the midfield battle. Well, he does excitement | :43:05. | :43:17. | |
terribly well(!) But there can be nobody more committed in a blue and | :43:18. | :43:24. | |
white shirt. He has taken off down the touchline, I don't know what | :43:25. | :43:29. | |
Jonathan said to him. Something he doesn't like in the forward line. He | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
is having a word with Callum, I think. Kenny McDonald, I am not sure | :43:35. | :43:42. | |
why that should be. It's not like him, he is normally a very | :43:43. | :43:50. | |
consistent hitter. We need Kyles to pull something out. So frustrating, | :43:51. | :43:58. | |
Zavaroni passed the ball and Kerr was standing beside him, didn't give | :43:59. | :44:06. | |
it to him. They are winning the possession competition, so... The | :44:07. | :44:16. | |
full-back is going to take the hit out this time. You don't normally | :44:17. | :44:22. | |
see that. I remember in the old days it was the thing for a full-back to | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
take it. The full-back has enough to do without taking the hit outs. | :44:28. | :44:37. | |
Here it comes again. Plenty of space. Great stop, Kenny McDonald. | :44:38. | :44:49. | |
He makes it look so easy. That's just a case of flicking it away. I | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
was watching him in the warm-up and he was doing exactly the same, so | :44:54. | :44:59. | |
relaxed. It's the last second, he seems to punch the ball. Lets it | :45:00. | :45:04. | |
come onto him, which is different from some keepers. Acres of space | :45:05. | :45:12. | |
from Michael Russell. He can score goals from midfield. If you were | :45:13. | :45:15. | |
driving the Kyles tactics, what would you want them to do to get | :45:16. | :45:20. | |
more of the ball? Stop playing square, go back to a diamond and | :45:21. | :45:24. | |
give Roddy more space, because he is not getting the ball in the middle | :45:25. | :45:30. | |
of the park. The square we will explain shortly... Just explain the | :45:31. | :45:41. | |
difference between the formations, Newtonmore from the North and Kyles | :45:42. | :45:52. | |
from the south. Two half forwards, whereas the other team are playing | :45:53. | :46:01. | |
with wide forwards. It's a diamond as opposed to a square? Yes. Got | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
you! Well taken in the defence but it | :46:07. | :46:14. | |
only goes a third of the way. This is the forward hitting the ball to | :46:15. | :46:20. | |
where it should be, but it has worked, because they have a | :46:21. | :46:23. | |
midfielder at pace... Just overstepped the ball. No chances | :46:24. | :46:31. | |
taken by Steven MacDonald. Maybe a bit overly safe with that one. Kerr | :46:32. | :46:38. | |
could have driven on, it was too far out. Could have taken another ten | :46:39. | :46:46. | |
yards. All of the Kyles forwards are back, could have done a 1-2. | :46:47. | :46:58. | |
A rare Kyles attack, it has to be said. Newtonmore, in trouble. Across | :46:59. | :47:10. | |
the goal. The angle was against him. Kyles, you could put a blanket over | :47:11. | :47:14. | |
the whole lot of them in there at the moment, which is not a good way | :47:15. | :47:20. | |
to attack. Newtonmore will defend this space, the close space. They | :47:21. | :47:26. | |
will dominate the tackle but they won't dominate the Opel areas. | :47:27. | :47:30. | |
Michael Russell has done brilliantly. -- the open areas. | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
Cameron Binnie, a particularly strong player as well. There's | :47:36. | :47:46. | |
always, it has to be said, some questions over Binnie's fitness, but | :47:47. | :47:52. | |
his shadow has diminished. From last year has well. Looking in good | :47:53. | :47:54. | |
shape. -- as well. Calum Miller goes to ground. | :47:55. | :48:10. | |
Technically shouldn't play the ball when he is on the ground. Steven | :48:11. | :48:21. | |
MacDonald, very clever. Again, Roddy MacDonald gives away a foul. That's | :48:22. | :48:29. | |
just conceding possession again. Roddy's complaining, but it is a | :48:30. | :48:31. | |
foul. Frustrated. Steve Lee reads the game really | :48:32. | :48:46. | |
well. Glen MacIntosh drifted out to the left-hand side. A spare man for | :48:47. | :48:47. | |
Newtonmore. MacRae, a little flick. I thought | :48:48. | :49:01. | |
the referee was going to stop that there. He allowed play to go on. It | :49:02. | :49:09. | |
was a dramatic dive. Derek won't give that. Cameron is just pointing | :49:10. | :49:22. | |
out to the players that he has referees as gold judges and nobody | :49:23. | :49:23. | |
raised a flag. -- goal judges. Beautiful switch of play. Ian | :49:24. | :49:49. | |
McDonald puts the ball out of play, on the half-hour mark. If you were | :49:50. | :49:56. | |
in Newtonmore's shoes, would you take the one goal is a decent return | :49:57. | :50:01. | |
for the pressure? No, you would want another before half-time, push on. | :50:02. | :50:07. | |
Grant Irvine is the only one who will cause them problems. MacRae can | :50:08. | :50:20. | |
hit on either side, which is the duty of the shinty stick, and also | :50:21. | :50:21. | |
his skill. -- the beauty. Plenty of time for Kyles to send | :50:22. | :50:36. | |
another one away, but it is too far. Campbell came out. Irvine, having to | :50:37. | :50:48. | |
do a lot of work to no effect. Calum Miller, Irvine again. | :50:49. | :50:59. | |
Nothing going much Roberto Zavaroni's way. His head has gone | :51:00. | :51:09. | |
down. The body language is not good. No, just previous to that, Roberto | :51:10. | :51:16. | |
did not even come across to help Duncan out. He has to beat Norman to | :51:17. | :51:28. | |
the ball. Donald Irvine has moved away to the right-hand defensive | :51:29. | :51:34. | |
position for Kyles. Danger for Kyles again, but Miller backtracking gets | :51:35. | :51:44. | |
a stick in. That looked like a corner to me, actually. Surprised | :51:45. | :51:52. | |
they are not claiming it. Menzies, having a good game, keeping | :51:53. | :51:57. | |
possession and carrying it. Much better from Kenny McDonald against | :51:58. | :52:00. | |
the wind, well over the centre circle. | :52:01. | :52:13. | |
Straight to Irvine. Cameron Binnie with a lovely touch. | :52:14. | :52:26. | |
Zavaroni just fired it in. Binnie with a bit of pace, but Roddy | :52:27. | :52:37. | |
MacDonald is that bit quicker. Irvine lashes out at it. Well, it | :52:38. | :52:41. | |
would have been good if it worked. It would have been! | :52:42. | :52:50. | |
Worth a dig, from there. Better play from Zavaroni. That is what they | :52:51. | :52:59. | |
want to do, get it out, get it across quickly. | :53:00. | :53:05. | |
Just beaten by the pace there. There's the legend that is John | :53:06. | :53:15. | |
Henderson. Famous shinty referee who was, as I understand it, refereeing | :53:16. | :53:19. | |
the referees last week in the veterans tournament. He managed to | :53:20. | :53:26. | |
send someone off. Embarrassing that a referee could get sent off, | :53:27. | :53:31. | |
ridiculous, and it wasn't me! Yes, you did hear that correctly, Mr | :53:32. | :53:38. | |
Henderson said another referee off. There you have it. Well done, John! | :53:39. | :53:48. | |
It was a good day at Newtonmore. There is the coolest man in the | :53:49. | :53:52. | |
park. Probably one of the fittest men as well. One of the fastest. | :53:53. | :54:01. | |
Irvine is not exactly a slouch. A great block by Cameron Binnie. | :54:02. | :54:13. | |
Again, Kyles seed possession. -- cede possession. Kyles wasted that. | :54:14. | :54:26. | |
Binnie has got some tidying to do. Just a nudge with the shoulder to | :54:27. | :54:35. | |
make sure. Underrated part of the Newtonmore defensive system, Cameron | :54:36. | :54:39. | |
Binnie. When he is on his game, as he is today. | :54:40. | :54:50. | |
Roddy MacDonald turned, it came back to Irvine. Possibly got in each | :54:51. | :55:00. | |
other's way. Roddy had the first chance, a bit of an air shot. That | :55:01. | :55:07. | |
is a bad miss from Roddy. To be fair to Norman, he has taken two out, so | :55:08. | :55:13. | |
fair play to Norman. A frustrated person at the moment, Roddy. | :55:14. | :55:20. | |
Newtonmore, reverting to the defender taking the hit outs. Steven | :55:21. | :55:30. | |
MacDonald. What a beautiful swing. A great turn. MacIntosh hasn't got the | :55:31. | :55:39. | |
ball under control, but turned away and fired on in. That's all of 40 | :55:40. | :55:47. | |
yards. It wasn't far-away. The Newtonmore forwards are comfortable | :55:48. | :55:54. | |
in possession, happy to carry on. He will do that all day, give him a | :55:55. | :56:00. | |
chance and he will take a shot. The vital thing is they are still only | :56:01. | :56:03. | |
one up. That's right. He is heaving a bit. The half-time | :56:04. | :56:23. | |
tea is not far-away. Used to be run and raisins that they had at | :56:24. | :56:26. | |
half-time, Newtonmore. Way back in the day. -- rum and raisins. | :56:27. | :56:38. | |
Again, just the frustration, just rushing things. You can see from his | :56:39. | :56:51. | |
bench, they are becoming frustrated. Irvine took a bit of a risk but got | :56:52. | :56:53. | |
away with it. Zavaroni works a bit of magic, | :56:54. | :57:07. | |
looking for Roddy MacDonald. Just inches away from catching Roddy | :57:08. | :57:16. | |
MacDonald around his ankle. He has got such a long reach, he nearly got | :57:17. | :57:22. | |
that. He wasn't far-away from it. Kyles, cranking up the pressure. | :57:23. | :57:32. | |
Roddy MacDonald had a second chance. Was looking for help. Four men | :57:33. | :57:39. | |
around him. Kerr fired it back in. There was a shout for a kick. | :57:40. | :57:48. | |
The referee has dismissed the claim for a penalty. It has to be a proper | :57:49. | :57:58. | |
kick, not something that hits your food. That really frustrates me. -- | :57:59. | :58:12. | |
frog prefixoot. There is no pattern to Kyles' play. Steven MacDonald has | :58:13. | :58:22. | |
been playing full-back a lot, so he is quite comfortable. Roddy needs to | :58:23. | :58:27. | |
relax. He has people around who will help him. His team has got at least | :58:28. | :58:36. | |
another 45 minutes, sudden death and all the rest of it, which could | :58:37. | :58:42. | |
happen. Roddy MacDonald again had a chance to pass to a colleague but | :58:43. | :58:44. | |
never took it. That hit Norman Campbell on the head | :58:45. | :58:54. | |
by accident. He is clutching his eye at the moment. Norman Campbell is in | :58:55. | :59:05. | |
trouble. I think it just hit his ear, he is fine, he has got big | :59:06. | :59:15. | |
ears! This is a chance for Newtonmore! Great stop! Calum | :59:16. | :59:23. | |
Stewart must've seen his name in the headlines there! That is to really | :59:24. | :59:28. | |
good chances he has had that he would normally score. Maybe the ball | :59:29. | :59:36. | |
just got the hang Tim Blair. Snatched at it. We have five minutes | :59:37. | :59:57. | |
left. Are you sure? He has gone five minutes early! The fourth official, | :59:58. | :00:14. | |
Colin McDonald, is advising the referee. The referee has agreed. I | :00:15. | :00:24. | |
have never seen this happen. Never on penny Saturday, to be honest. -- | :00:25. | :00:43. | |
on any Saturday to be honest. Maybe he thought it was a water brick! -- | :00:44. | :00:58. | |
water break. Give him his due, he is laughing himself. He is confident | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
character, it would be bothering him at all. He will probably play an | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
extra five minutes at the end to make! He was dead on the 40 minutes | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
to give him his due. Just five minute short! I think Kyles would've | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
been glad to go off, be honest. They are hanging on a bit. | :01:31. | :01:47. | |
Here come Newtonmore again. What with Kyles give for a goal? What | :01:48. | :02:17. | |
would Newtonmore give for another one? I am very sure that the 2-goal | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
margin would be much better for them. And they are J as well. -- due | :02:24. | :02:49. | |
it as well. That just about sums up their afternoon for me. It is simply | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
not good enough. Newtonmore are still laughing about the referee, I | :02:56. | :02:56. | |
think. That is the area of concern for | :02:57. | :03:28. | |
Kyles, the midfield, for me. Calum Stewart coming off his man. A corner | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
to Newtonmore. This will probably be their last chance before the break. | :03:37. | :03:51. | |
Coming into the final minutes. I think there will be an almighty | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
cheer when the referee blows for half-time! An ironic cheer! | :03:57. | :04:13. | |
The referee not impressed by the call for a kick. | :04:14. | :04:31. | |
Another corner. Three corners in quick succession. If they are quick | :04:32. | :04:43. | |
they will get it taken. They are piling people forward. Kyles have | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
four people in the Newtonmore half. Kenny McDonald concedes another | :04:49. | :05:22. | |
corner. It goes on. We are now into overtime. McCarter with the last | :05:23. | :05:36. | |
acts of the first-half. Calum Miller took that on the chin. Another | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
corner! Kyles are just hanging on. Bayard | :05:39. | :05:53. | |
desperate to get into the changing room. -- they are desperate to get | :05:54. | :06:02. | |
into the changing room. There we have it. The referee | :06:03. | :06:19. | |
decides for the second time that the first is finished. Danny McRae, he | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
is the difference between the two teams. Newtonmore will not be happy | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
to have gone in with just a single goal. Kyles will know they have not | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
played well, but they will still have a big say in the outcome of | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
this MacAulay Cup Final. It is half-time, we think! I am | :06:40. | :07:02. | |
joined by a 27 manager. Will Newtonmore be unhappy that they are | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
only one goal up. They will be delighted to have got the goal, but | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
they would have wanted more. How impressed have you been with | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
Newtonmore? They have been very good. They are a better team by a | :07:16. | :07:24. | |
mile. Danny McRae has been very important for them. | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
Danny has not wasted a ball all day. He has been excellent. The wind will | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
make a bit of a difference. What effect will the conditions have? I | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
think they will help -- I think the wind will have Kyles in the second | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
half. Let's have a look at Danny McRae's strike. The boy Calum | :07:51. | :08:03. | |
Stewart did really well there. Danny turned beautifully. Was Kenny Mick | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
Donald culpable? Not at all. It was wide of him. He couldn't have got to | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
it. We profiled Kenny McDonald at the start of the match. 50-something | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
years old. In terms of the rest of the first-half, he put in some great | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
stops. Kenny has been excellent. Let's have a look at some of them. | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
He has been very effect. That is not easy. The ball is coming in quite | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
hard. I don't want to be unkind about his age. Undoubtedly, your | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
reactions will start to fade if you are playing in your 50s. I think the | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
problem when you get older is more underground than in the air. Those | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
stops by him are keeping Kyles in it so far. Roddy McDonald has been the | :09:08. | :09:17. | |
star man for Kyles, but how have you gauged his performance? Kyles | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
started well, but since then Robbie has not have a lot of the ball. | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
Kyles are just not getting the ball up the park. Newtonmore seem to be | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
able to handle him. Stephen will wind him up and Roddy is very easy | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
to wind up, to be honest. Will the management be talking about the | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
temperament aspect? Frustration will creep up. I think Newtonmore will be | :09:53. | :10:07. | |
wise to that. One player I have been impressed with is Cameron Binnie. | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
Last year he was carrying a few extra pounds. What have you thought | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
of him? I have known Cameron all his life. A great young player. He was | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
carrying a bit of weight for a while but he lost all of that. He seems to | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
be able to read the game. He was always great at that. The way things | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
are going at the moment, how did you see the second half? Will Kyles get | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
back into the match? Can they produce something from nothing? At | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
the minute you would think it would have to be a game for Newtonmore. | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
Kyles will give an attack at some point. I think Newtonmore needed to | :10:57. | :11:07. | |
go 2-0 in Debbie safe. Kingussie will be in the final of the | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
Camanachd Cup this year. Four sides in the semifinals, obviously. The | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
final will be on the 13th September. A goal! Ryan Simpson! He sneaked | :11:16. | :11:42. | |
away from his man. A great finish by a Simpson on the backhand. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Ronald Ross! Inevitably! From long range. I think the keeper might have | :11:48. | :11:59. | |
been undecided. No, he was beaten by Pierce. That is a great goal by | :12:00. | :12:11. | |
Daniel Stewart! Craig Dawson beaten all ends up. That was a bad bounce. | :12:12. | :12:21. | |
Shakers of space here. What will he do? Goal! That is exactly what | :12:22. | :12:37. | |
Kingussie needed. He lined it up and past the goalkeeper. To happen to | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
happen to you at the interval. Great stop by Craig Dawson! | :12:40. | :13:04. | |
Sudden-death, it is Craig Dawson! He has won the match for Kingussie. | :13:05. | :13:18. | |
Danny Morrison! He just made himself some space. One chance, one hit, | :13:19. | :13:45. | |
1-0. Great goal by Fraser Heath! That was coming. | :13:46. | :13:56. | |
It is in again. David Smart! The corner did not seem to be that | :13:57. | :14:07. | |
difficult to deal with, but driven home. The keeper could not see that. | :14:08. | :14:18. | |
Glenurquhart are pressing. They have the wind, the advantage. This is | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
another good chance. Good stop by the keeper. Glenurquhart are still | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
pressing. James McPherson! I think that is it for Skye. It could be all | :14:34. | :14:42. | |
over. That is a great finish. Glenurquhart are heading for the | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
final once again. For the first time since 1988. The Camanachd Cup final | :14:48. | :14:59. | |
is our next shinty action. It is Kingussie against Glenurquhart. What | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
we saw at the ends of the first-half, have you seen anything | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
like that before with the referee blowing up early? No, never! He | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
obviously didn't set his clock rates! I am glad they didn't score | :15:18. | :15:26. | |
any goals in that extra five minutes, that could've been | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
controversial. How will the second half go? Kyles have got to come into | :15:30. | :15:38. | |
this game. Newtonmore has been the better team by a mile. Let's get | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
back to the action! Back to Hugh Dan MacLennan. | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
The referee will dine out in style on this one. He sets it off and | :15:49. | :16:05. | |
running again. Newtonmore are leading 1-0. Fraser MacIntosh has | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
been introduced for Newtonmore. We think Norman Campbell might be | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
carrying an injury. He was limping. Drew MacNeil, your view on the | :16:23. | :16:32. | |
changes? The Fraser MacIntosh coming in? Hopefully... Calum will be | :16:33. | :16:50. | |
disappointed. Fraser is very experienced. We expect Norman | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
Campbell might be hobbling a bit. He was, badly. If you are Kyles, you | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
would want to get the ball down his side and expose him. I don't know | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
who they have on the bench that they could bring on. It'll be interesting | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
to see how the game develops. It has got a bit more dull, Calder. | :17:14. | :17:24. | |
A little bit more of a breeze. -- this is a chance for Kyles to create | :17:25. | :17:56. | |
something. It did not quite threatened the keeper or give the | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
attack any chance either. I think Norman was quite clever. He commits | :18:04. | :18:14. | |
a nice little foul here. That is a massive hit against the wind. In the | :18:15. | :18:29. | |
end, Ian McDonald gets hold of it. He has a lot of strapping on his | :18:30. | :18:40. | |
leg. Newbridge once somebody just keep dropping the ball in front of | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
him, him turning. Kyles keep believing this huge gap in midfield | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
which is a curious way to play a final. Maybe there is some method to | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
the map us. This is Rodime at Donald. Just behind Roberto | :18:57. | :19:11. | |
Zavaroni. You do not want to be giving away fouls in this territory. | :19:12. | :19:20. | |
This could be the chance for Roddy McDonald to get a goal. It is in a | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
good area. They may or may not have rehearsed something here. They | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
wasted it, that is for sure. That is a good call! In towards | :19:31. | :19:58. | |
Roddy McDonald. JB Robinson with another hefty challenge. This was | :19:59. | :20:11. | |
the chance. Clever little pass. He overran that. The tackle was | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
crucial. Good play by Roberto Zavaroni. | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
Roddy McDonald just not able to grab it on his stick. Another stick has | :20:24. | :20:36. | |
gone. Plenty of firewood in Kyles tonight! | :20:37. | :20:48. | |
Donald Irvine is still waiting for a new stick. Three great little | :20:49. | :21:01. | |
chances by a Kyles there. Donald Irvine changing his stick. | :21:02. | :21:12. | |
That is the end of that one! Bad corner. That is another ?40 down the | :21:13. | :21:29. | |
drain. Of the bar! The referee says he did not get a stick to that. I | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
think it just landed on top of the bar. Kyles is back in the game. This | :21:35. | :21:46. | |
is as close as you can get. The keeper was beaten. | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
These are the margins that the side cup finals. -- adapt | :21:56. | :22:05. | |
these are the areas that temp one were not using earlier in the game. | :22:06. | :22:35. | |
All of a sudden, there Newtonmore event is looking a bit jittery. The | :22:36. | :22:48. | |
clearances are not as good. There is a little bit of six now from Kyles. | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
Do you think they got a rocket at half-time? Maybe. Kyles want to play | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
on the front foot. They like to play on the front foot. | :23:06. | :23:17. | |
Clever. Roddy McDonald just could not switch. Goal! That all came from | :23:18. | :23:39. | |
the use of the corner. Good goal. Clever, clever play. He was caught | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
in two minds here. They got a deflection. Duncan | :23:45. | :24:05. | |
Kennedy made the most of it. All of a sudden, Kyles are back in it. The | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
MacAulay Cup Final has a long, long way to go yet. 1-1. Newtonmore now | :24:13. | :24:26. | |
have to hit back. They knew that. There is nothing more dangerous than | :24:27. | :24:27. | |
at Kyles team with momentum. Jamie Robinson has gone down. He | :24:28. | :24:48. | |
looked a bit sluggish going into that tackle. | :24:49. | :25:04. | |
That is the tackle. Maybe add dead leg. He went down heavily. He is in | :25:05. | :25:19. | |
some distress. Jamie is not the type of player back goes down. -- that | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
goes down. I don't think he is going to last | :25:25. | :25:45. | |
very long, to be honest. They need somebody in full fitness | :25:46. | :26:02. | |
in the engine room. That is Scott Chisholm. They will put someone back | :26:03. | :26:14. | |
in full centre. It is a free hit. I doubt very much we will see Robinson | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
again. It is not the kind of injury that lets you carry on in a Cup | :26:21. | :26:21. | |
Final. It is funny, this second half is | :26:22. | :26:40. | |
almost a mirror image of the first-half. | :26:41. | :26:50. | |
Robinson will not be back on again, I think. This game has a long way to | :26:51. | :27:03. | |
go. We have not yet reached 60 minutes. They have one goal apiece. | :27:04. | :27:15. | |
In the first, the Newtonmore players were dominating their opponents, but | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
that has completely turned round. Some of the Newtonmore hitting is | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
just not as good, as crisp as they used earlier. On this surface, there | :27:25. | :27:40. | |
should be crisp editing. -- crisp hitting. | :27:41. | :27:58. | |
That is a great save by Kenny McDonald! He just waits for the ball | :27:59. | :28:14. | |
to come to him. It is the last push that is critical. | :28:15. | :28:29. | |
That was a chance for Fraser MacIntosh and he knows it. He should | :28:30. | :28:38. | |
have assumed the ball would come through to him, really. But, he | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
didn't. The chance was weighted. This is a better response by | :28:46. | :28:47. | |
Newtonmore. Roberto Zavaroni could have done | :28:48. | :29:10. | |
better. Roberto Zavaroni seems to be pushing forward far more. I think he | :29:11. | :29:15. | |
is better there. You can score goals, as well. Two years ago, it | :29:16. | :29:24. | |
was a final, it was a great game and I think Roberto Zavaroni won it for | :29:25. | :29:29. | |
them. He has the ability to win games from the middle of the park. | :29:30. | :29:36. | |
David Zavaroni has added a certain zip to the midfield. | :29:37. | :29:57. | |
game for his brother today. Irvine just being a bit ambitious in the | :29:58. | :29:58. | |
corner. James Perlich, the Kyles coach, | :29:59. | :30:16. | |
beginning to crank it up as we head... I don't think he shouted | :30:17. | :30:25. | |
once in the first half. Let's go to Jonathan Sutherland, who has Jimmy | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
Gow with him. Kyles, well and truly back into the match. The weather has | :30:31. | :30:35. | |
changed. The whole way of the game seems to have changed, why do you | :30:36. | :30:41. | |
think that has happened? As we said at half-time, it is a game of two | :30:42. | :30:50. | |
halves and there is a bit of wind. Why have Kyles changed their | :30:51. | :30:53. | |
attitude? Has the manager said something? The first half wasn't | :30:54. | :31:00. | |
good enough, Roddy MacDonald seems maybe a bit happier, not right now | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
but generally. Right is never very happy, but he is very alive. -- | :31:05. | :31:11. | |
Roddy is never very happy, but he is very alive. That is one way of | :31:12. | :31:22. | |
looking at it. He also has his mother Morag standing on the | :31:23. | :31:25. | |
touchline, keeping a close eye on what is going on. He had better move | :31:26. | :31:35. | |
it. Just over the hour mark, Kyles 1-1 Newtonmore. Annie McRae on 16 | :31:36. | :31:41. | |
minutes. Duncan Kerr responding for Kyles. Bash Mac Danny MacRae. | :31:42. | :31:51. | |
That is probably a decent reflection. Although Newtonmore had | :31:52. | :31:56. | |
bags of possession in the first half, but couldn't convert. Kenny | :31:57. | :32:02. | |
McDonald had to come off his line. The ball was hanging back, showing | :32:03. | :32:07. | |
the force of the wind. Kenny had to come a lot further than he wanted | :32:08. | :32:13. | |
to. He wanted to get it before it landed and cushion it down and | :32:14. | :32:17. | |
knocked it away. It looks easy when you do it like that, but it's not | :32:18. | :32:22. | |
easy. He is just so relaxed in there. | :32:23. | :32:30. | |
It can give the attacking player and advantage, depending on how good he | :32:31. | :32:50. | |
is at playing it in. It was April one. Zavaroni... That is an | :32:51. | :32:54. | |
interesting one, Norman Campbell is clutching his thigh. -- it was a | :32:55. | :32:59. | |
poor one. I don't think it was the tackle, I think it's the injury he | :33:00. | :33:06. | |
is carrying. One of the injuries. He stopped on his left knee, and that | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
is the one that is sore. It is scrapped anyway. He is definitely in | :33:11. | :33:18. | |
trouble, Norman Campbell. Norman Campbell does not do lying down. It | :33:19. | :33:27. | |
doesn't look good for him, you know. It would be easy for Norman to stay | :33:28. | :33:33. | |
behind Zavaroni but he keeps on getting there before him. Just | :33:34. | :33:40. | |
looking at PJ Macintosh's reaction, he is looking towards the bench | :33:41. | :33:44. | |
already, it looks as if Norman is coming off... What implications does | :33:45. | :33:50. | |
that have for the defence? Scott Campbell has played a lot this | :33:51. | :33:56. | |
season, he is an old head. I would imagine Scott Campbell would come | :33:57. | :34:01. | |
on, very much like-for-like. A great communicator, somebody who is | :34:02. | :34:07. | |
brilliant on the pitch. I withdraw every previous remark about Norman | :34:08. | :34:15. | |
Campbell's fallibility! An umbrella. And I do see some umbrellas, I see | :34:16. | :34:21. | |
spots of rain on the commentary box window. I am disappointed. But the | :34:22. | :34:29. | |
players might like it, it might cool things down a bit. | :34:30. | :34:37. | |
Zavaroni kills it, turns, a chance for Kyles but Binnie stepped in with | :34:38. | :34:48. | |
a beautiful challenge. It was just too high from Roddy MacDonald. A | :34:49. | :34:53. | |
good tackle by Steven MacDonald. That is the hardest ball in shinty, | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
Roddy pulled off at the back post and it was just too high. Roddy | :34:59. | :35:05. | |
MacDonald has gone down now. A bit of a knock as he went down, maybe | :35:06. | :35:09. | |
twisted something. They took the mouthguard out before | :35:10. | :35:24. | |
they did anything else, interesting. I can understand why. They won't | :35:25. | :35:30. | |
want to lose him for whatever reason. He's something of an icon. | :35:31. | :35:36. | |
Watching Roddy going off would be a huge lift for the opposition. I | :35:37. | :35:44. | |
don't see Roddy coming off. Doesn't look good but he might be able to | :35:45. | :35:49. | |
run it off. I think he would be fine, run in circles for a wee | :35:50. | :35:59. | |
while! Ever increasing circles. He's not going to go anywhere. | :36:00. | :36:17. | |
All sorts of stuff going on there just now, roly-poly 's. | :36:18. | :36:34. | |
Killed beautifully in midfield and dispatched. They are trying to | :36:35. | :36:41. | |
stretch Norman Campbell, I suspect, bringing him into play as much as | :36:42. | :36:50. | |
possible. The suspicion is he is just not going to last if they put | :36:51. | :36:51. | |
him under pressure. Still an awful lot of shinty to be | :36:52. | :37:05. | |
played in a match like this. We have seen these teams contest right down | :37:06. | :37:15. | |
to the very last seconds. Roberto is sticking to his task but I would be | :37:16. | :37:19. | |
inclined to change it and bring someone else on. Irvine, a good | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
stop. A big shout someone else on. Irvine, a good | :37:25. | :37:27. | |
might want to see that someone else on. Irvine, a good | :37:28. | :37:31. | |
how he got his foot to the ball. A big shout for a penalty. Neither | :37:32. | :37:40. | |
Cameron Norberg goal judge played attention to the claim. It was an | :37:41. | :37:49. | |
interesting stop. He stopped it with his instep. Never a penalty. What do | :37:50. | :37:57. | |
you think? It hit his instep, he was standing in the right place. | :37:58. | :38:08. | |
Difficult to see from that angle. At speed... It's what I said before, it | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
needs to be kicked. You need some movement of the fruit. When it's | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
planted in the ground, it's absolutely safe. | :38:19. | :38:26. | |
Danny MacRae. But a brilliant save, very fortunate it is still one - | :38:27. | :38:38. | |
one. This is a better angle. Quick feet, but good feet. | :38:39. | :38:49. | |
The pace in the legs of Irvine. He is sent flying by Cameron Binnie. | :38:50. | :39:02. | |
All of a sudden, the crowd are sensing that this is the kind of | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
turning point in the game, with 20 minutes to go, or thereabouts. A | :39:08. | :39:15. | |
shake of the head, Grant Irving, it's just not coming off for him. | :39:16. | :39:20. | |
This is a player who a year ago had a horrific injury to get over and he | :39:21. | :39:25. | |
has had to play himself back into the team. It's great to see him | :39:26. | :39:31. | |
back. Shaking his head there, but another defender had to come across | :39:32. | :39:41. | |
and stop him. A mistake by Binnie. Norman Campbell makes another | :39:42. | :39:44. | |
mistake. Steven MacDonald, as ever, tidies up. One of his great skills, | :39:45. | :39:53. | |
his reading of the game. Binnie was out muscled for once, Roddy | :39:54. | :39:57. | |
MacDonald had more time. Zavaroni was in. A good clearance by the | :39:58. | :40:06. | |
central defender, Ackie MacRae. He did really well. | :40:07. | :40:14. | |
That's the roly-poly I mentioned. For those of you of a vintage not | :40:15. | :40:23. | |
aware of what the roly-poly was... Binnie was closed down. Kyles' | :40:24. | :40:50. | |
forwards, working a bit harder. Thomas has not taken a step | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
backwards against Cameron. 20 minutes to go. Just a hint that | :40:55. | :41:03. | |
Newtonmore are feeling the pace. Kyles are stepping it up. An | :41:04. | :41:08. | |
instruction to the Newtonmore team to push forward, they are lying a | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
bit deep, as Kyles did in the first half. It's the same thing. Russell | :41:13. | :41:19. | |
has the whole of the middle to himself. A chance for Kyles, it took | :41:20. | :41:29. | |
a deflection. A good intervention from Steven MacDonald, because that | :41:30. | :41:36. | |
could have beaten Ritchie on the far post. A good effort. It was | :41:37. | :41:39. | |
Zavaroni. McLeod couldn't get it passed Norman | :41:40. | :41:51. | |
Campbell. They're working macro men spare, but | :41:52. | :42:03. | |
Ackie MacRae with another crucial intervention, taking it all the way. | :42:04. | :42:05. | |
-- there were Kyles men spare. That is a wasted ball. Just a | :42:06. | :42:21. | |
feeling that Kyles believe this is winnable. The two halfbacks, they | :42:22. | :42:27. | |
can come out on the ball all the time. They can always get back on | :42:28. | :42:37. | |
time. Kerr, pushing on upfront from midfield. He will keep doing that. | :42:38. | :42:45. | |
Robbie McLeod on the far side has a fantastic engine, the Kyles number | :42:46. | :42:50. | |
eight. Young Michael has done well against him. He is a really good | :42:51. | :42:57. | |
player. Russell has certainly acquitted himself well, one of | :42:58. | :43:03. | |
Newtonmore's emerging talents. That's not the first time I have | :43:04. | :43:09. | |
seen Binnie pushing someone over. He's going to have to listen to | :43:10. | :43:11. | |
Cameron... Not the first time, won't be the | :43:12. | :43:34. | |
last. When all is said and done! He had the final say. | :43:35. | :43:42. | |
Roddy MacDonald was fouled. Irvine is struggling. He has pulled | :43:43. | :43:58. | |
something. He has gone down. It looks like just cramp. This is a | :43:59. | :44:18. | |
player playing himself back in. He did the power worked in the first | :44:19. | :44:23. | |
half. What would a pitch like this take out of your legs? You know what | :44:24. | :44:29. | |
it's like to cover it. It's a good firm surface, better than most of | :44:30. | :44:34. | |
them. I think Grant did so much work in the first half. They don't want | :44:35. | :44:44. | |
him coming off, actually. Colin McDonald of Kyles is warming up | :44:45. | :44:48. | |
below us. He has a nose for a goal on the big occasion. Might be a | :44:49. | :44:55. | |
change they would want to make late on. They were all diving in. A | :44:56. | :44:59. | |
chance for Kyles. My goodness! Kerr will not want to see this one | :45:00. | :45:18. | |
again. Hangs at the back post. What a touch. Oh, my goodness. Drew, you | :45:19. | :45:27. | |
could have put that one in yourself. Oh, dear. You have to give him | :45:28. | :45:34. | |
credit, he gets in at the back post all the time. Great vision from | :45:35. | :45:43. | |
Roddy to see the gap. You referred to the reach earlier, he has an | :45:44. | :45:50. | |
enormous reach. They all dived in, they had to. He just saw his own | :45:51. | :45:56. | |
player... No question of offside. He didn't have much time to hit | :45:57. | :46:08. | |
that, he couldn't afford to let it go out of the box. He seemed to be | :46:09. | :46:12. | |
leaning back. The combination was all wrong. | :46:13. | :46:23. | |
Just under a quarter of an hour left of this gripping encounter. A lovely | :46:24. | :46:35. | |
touch from Irvine. Some great stick work on show today, although it has | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
been inconsistent. A high tackle from Binnie. Cameron let it go. He | :46:40. | :46:48. | |
saw the advantage to Kyles. The shot was just wide. | :46:49. | :46:59. | |
Cameron is insisting they both swung equally, so he has left it at that. | :47:00. | :47:07. | |
We have a Kyles substitution coming. They won't beat the hit out, that | :47:08. | :47:14. | |
would be taken first. That is a massive hit. The perfect place to | :47:15. | :47:22. | |
put it, but Danny MacRae was wondering. We will now get the | :47:23. | :47:32. | |
change. So we have Colin McDonald coming on, number 14. Roberto | :47:33. | :47:38. | |
Zavaroni, looking a wee bit perplexed that he is having to go | :47:39. | :47:49. | |
off. Quite odd. Sport is a bit about opinions, but they have put a | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
strongman against him and now a fast person. Staying away from his | :47:54. | :48:01. | |
physicality. I have seen Calum McConnell make some crucial | :48:02. | :48:06. | |
interventions on his day. He is a big strong lad. I will tell you in | :48:07. | :48:11. | |
20 minutes. A big shout for a penalty. Kenny McDonald, down at his | :48:12. | :48:18. | |
post. The coolest man in town stops this one. What do you think? Edge of | :48:19. | :48:26. | |
the box? Inside the box? Could have been a penalty. That's the second | :48:27. | :48:34. | |
time Kenny McDonald... The splits! He would be feeling that tomorrow | :48:35. | :48:36. | |
morning. Safely dispatched. The referee has a | :48:37. | :48:51. | |
referee as a goal judge, so he has a confident person to give the | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
decision. The challenge was clearly inside the box, well, inside the | :48:56. | :49:03. | |
circle. A good tackle. Kyles get the ball away. McLeod, all the way in | :49:04. | :49:11. | |
from left-wing centre to the opposite side of the field. The old | :49:12. | :49:27. | |
Fox, Norman. Roddy was away. A masterclass in defence from Norman | :49:28. | :49:33. | |
Campbell. He clearly isn't 100% fit, but still out thought the opposition | :49:34. | :49:35. | |
there. Newtonmore have a man down in | :49:36. | :49:45. | |
midfield, Scott Chisholm, the skipper. Binnie has now taken a | :49:46. | :49:50. | |
knock. It's at times like these that cup finals are won and lost. The | :49:51. | :49:57. | |
last few tackles, in my opinion Calum has given away three fouls. | :49:58. | :50:03. | |
Needs to settle down a bit. Roddy MacDonald made a nuisance of | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
himself. I think that was going wide. But Ritchie couldn't take any | :50:09. | :50:17. | |
chances. He has only conceded a corner, at the end of the day. Well | :50:18. | :50:19. | |
wide. Cameron is having a look at Binnie, | :50:20. | :50:30. | |
who has gone down in the middle of the field. He has taken a hefty one. | :50:31. | :50:43. | |
Might be the time for Scott Campbell to make an appearance now. They are | :50:44. | :50:50. | |
beginning to creep, aren't they? A few of them going down in the | :50:51. | :50:53. | |
Newtonmore defence. Ash max beginning to creak. With the rolling | :50:54. | :51:06. | |
subs, you are fortunate. Gives them the option. Scott Campbell is indeed | :51:07. | :51:17. | |
stripping off. Big strong player. Binnie has done so well. In the last | :51:18. | :51:27. | |
five minutes, he may be tired. You would want that at halfback. Could | :51:28. | :51:33. | |
help you out occasionally. And I for the ball. Absolutely! -- an eye for | :51:34. | :51:38. | |
the ball. I suspect Roddy MacDonald was taken | :51:39. | :51:49. | |
out by his own man. The chance was wasted again. I think Roddy | :51:50. | :51:56. | |
MacDonald took a sore one from his own forwards there. He is limping a | :51:57. | :52:04. | |
wee bit. He would be disappointed. I don't know who Newtonmore are going | :52:05. | :52:12. | |
to... He did take a sore one. You don't want to be taking them from | :52:13. | :52:19. | |
your own men. End to end now. Both teams, I am certain, will want to | :52:20. | :52:24. | |
avoid the prospect of extra time, never mind anything beyond that. | :52:25. | :52:30. | |
It's going to be for brave men to decide the outcome of this, in less | :52:31. | :52:37. | |
than ten minutes. If Cameron does what he did at the end of the first | :52:38. | :52:40. | |
half, it could be less than five minutes! If you were not with us, | :52:41. | :52:45. | |
our referee decided the game was finished at 40 minutes. Fraser | :52:46. | :52:55. | |
MacIntosh, it took a hefty deflection. One thing I would say | :52:56. | :52:58. | |
about the Newtonmore forward line, they have guys who can score for | :52:59. | :53:03. | |
fun. They are confident around each other as well. Laying the ball off | :53:04. | :53:10. | |
to each other. They will hold of opponents and let other people | :53:11. | :53:11. | |
shoot. Creating space for others. Out to the touchline. Newtonmore | :53:12. | :53:24. | |
have it again. A poor effort. You would want that | :53:25. | :53:36. | |
going into the penalty area. Oh, dear. Cameron Binnie, this time, | :53:37. | :53:58. | |
I suspect... He could be in trouble with the referee. What do you make | :53:59. | :54:09. | |
of this? I am only going to speak to you once. There is an issue there | :54:10. | :54:16. | |
for me that the number ten didn't make any effort to block it. Self | :54:17. | :54:23. | |
defence and intimidation... Thomas is not defending himself, Cameron is | :54:24. | :54:29. | |
trying to intimidate him. For me, that is not a foul. Had he put his | :54:30. | :54:37. | |
stick in... He didn't know where the ball is. Thomas did well to stand up | :54:38. | :54:42. | |
to that. Layers are always taught never to turn their back on the | :54:43. | :54:43. | |
ball. -- players. OK, we are down to five minutes of | :54:44. | :55:15. | |
regular time. The options are half an hour of extra time followed by | :55:16. | :55:18. | |
penalties followed by sudden death. Which we had in the Camanachd Cup | :55:19. | :55:29. | |
semifinal. Nobody wants that. A good round of applause for the injured | :55:30. | :55:38. | |
party. Irvine sends one in. How often have we seen Kyles snatch | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
something at the very end, in the last five minutes? This is when they | :55:43. | :55:55. | |
are there mostly -- their most lethal. The history of Kyles and cup | :55:56. | :56:01. | |
finals. Newtonmore need a couple of players | :56:02. | :56:12. | |
to step up to the plate to see them through this. To get the ball to one | :56:13. | :56:17. | |
of the MacIntoshes, perhaps. Danny MacRae has had a frustrating | :56:18. | :56:31. | |
second half. He has not had the ball at all. It needs to be more central | :56:32. | :56:39. | |
because he is not going to go down the channels for it. That is beyond | :56:40. | :56:43. | |
the circle again. Danny MacRae turned it inside to | :56:44. | :56:51. | |
Fraser MacIntosh. love Ob a n on a day like this. A | :56:52. | :57:29. | |
great setting. I always enjoy coming down here. You tend to get really | :57:30. | :57:42. | |
good games. The shot was wasted. I expected a high-scoring game. Early | :57:43. | :57:51. | |
on, we had an exhibition... Who would you make as man of the match | :57:52. | :57:55. | |
at the moment? Nobody has really shone, for me. I like the way Irvine | :57:56. | :58:03. | |
has played. His first half was excellent, second-half a bit quiet. | :58:04. | :58:08. | |
If he was to get a goal, do something more... | :58:09. | :58:18. | |
Kenny McDonald and Ritchie, I am sure, will be pushing for the man of | :58:19. | :58:24. | |
the match. Crucial interventions in the first half. | :58:25. | :58:32. | |
Kenny McDonald, philosophical as ever. | :58:33. | :58:47. | |
Glen MacIntosh with the touch and Kenny McDonald... Maybe that has | :58:48. | :58:57. | |
clinched it for him. A great save. That is his wife, Morag. Approving. | :58:58. | :59:04. | |
The good stop. Maybe just going past. No, I think it's on target. He | :59:05. | :59:11. | |
would normally deal with that himself, but that is just Kenny. I | :59:12. | :59:16. | |
thought that was just one for the cameras, but fair play, it might | :59:17. | :59:23. | |
have sneaked in. An important touch from Ian McDonald. Well, you would | :59:24. | :59:34. | |
want to be near to the goal with only a few minutes remaining. This | :59:35. | :59:41. | |
second-half has flown in. Much better than the first-half. Danny | :59:42. | :59:45. | |
MacRae with the chance for Newtonmore. MacDonald had to give | :59:46. | :00:02. | |
the foul away. It is a brave tackle. Is this too close to the goal to | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
create something? No, I don't think so. McIntosh has it. Big shout for | :00:07. | :00:16. | |
offside. 30 seconds left. It will not be | :00:17. | :00:34. | |
sorted, will it? I don't think so. We might have a bit of injury time. | :00:35. | :00:46. | |
We could get four minutes of extra time. | :00:47. | :01:04. | |
Ackie MacRae has had a great second half. | :01:05. | :01:21. | |
Thomas Whyte needs to come off. He is just at pedestrian at the moment. | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
So, 1-1 in the MacAulay Cup Final. At the very worst, he would want the | :01:31. | :01:42. | |
goalkeeper to need to make a save. We'll Kyles Ruth a fantastic chance | :01:43. | :02:06. | |
that they had? Here is Glen MacIntosh. The last chance for | :02:07. | :02:20. | |
Kyles, perhaps. The ball is with Newtonmore. This could be the last | :02:21. | :02:30. | |
action of regulation time. Then, 30 minutes of end-to-end stuff. Then, | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
five penalties each. I remember 17 penalties in extra time. Yes! It was | :02:40. | :02:54. | |
a lot. That was Oban Camanachd against Fort William. I scored the | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
winning penalty. It was our first national title. That was nowhere | :03:01. | :03:29. | |
near it. Again, just allowed the goalkeeper to make the mistake. They | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
will play this one as far as they can up the field. The referee still | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
letting play go on. Well into three minutes. Great tackle by Ian | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
McDonald. Great save great save by Kenny | :03:49. | :04:15. | |
McDonald. He is my man of match. I think the older you get, the slower | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
your feet get, that he has been fantastic today. Kyles needs to get | :04:20. | :04:34. | |
this away. Can Whyte beat the defender? He just took too long. | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
Ackie MacRae also took too long there. | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
Good defending. The foul. That has been a good matchup. He knew he was | :04:50. | :05:07. | |
away, though. Is Deke Cameron playing the next | :05:08. | :05:29. | |
called the winner? That is a foul. That is a silly foul to give away. | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
Cameron Binnie king sent back. He will head this as far as he can. | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
Didn't make a good contact on that. Great intervention by Ian McDonald. | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
Fraser MacIntosh was free behind him. Roddy McDonald is a bit off the | :06:01. | :06:12. | |
pace. Whyte should be picking that up but he is just not moving well. | :06:13. | :06:26. | |
Ian McDonald has made a couple of really big interventions in the last | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
couple of minutes. I was disappointed with him in the | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
first-half. He is a top quality player. He has everything. He has | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
been a Man of the Match in an international. I seem to remember | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
presenting him with a medal. Roddy McDonald, do you have what it | :06:51. | :07:00. | |
takes? Six minutes of extra time have been played. | :07:01. | :07:21. | |
Roddy McDonald is looking for a substitution. | :07:22. | :07:45. | |
Deke Cameron has decided that enough is enough. We have extra time at the | :07:46. | :07:57. | |
MacAulay Cup Final. I can see a flurry of changes here. | :07:58. | :08:09. | |
A number 19 for Kyles is coming on. Sandy Mackenzie, I think. Grant | :08:10. | :08:23. | |
Irvine has cramp. I think Thomas Whyte will come off. They have a | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
player called Leighton read, he is very good. | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
So, there is discord, 1-1. Let's join Jonathan. | :08:39. | :08:54. | |
This is a hugely intriguing match. The first-half was all about | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Newtonmore, the second half was all about Kyles. The goal for Dunky Kerr | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
really brought them back into the match. And they deserved that goal. | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
In the second half, Kyles has been the better team, no doubt about it. | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
It was so quick. It was in the net almost before where'd you saw where | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
the ball was. He lost Cameron Binnie and it was just in the back of the | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
net. At that point, Kyles had awoken. The game looked like it was | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
going to completely and utterly change. You could see the passion | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
there from Kyles Athletic. Dunky Kerr had the chance to win this | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
match and he fluffed it. He had a glorious chance, probably easier | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
than the goal he got. A glorious chance. He would have put your house | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
on him scoring that. You could see the anguish. He knows that was the | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
chance to win the MacAulay Cup. He is brilliant. Brilliant at coming | :10:11. | :10:21. | |
onto balls like that. There is Kenny McDonald. That is how he usually is, | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
is he just trying to calm his nerves? Yes, just a cigarette to | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
calm him down. He is Hugh Dan MacLennan's Man of the Match. I | :10:37. | :10:48. | |
would agree with that. He is in his 50s. Some of these saves, he has had | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
to react so quickly. With his feet here. It happens in a flash. To | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
create the stops at the post. That is really difficult. At half-time, | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
we did not expect much from Kyles Athletic. What can we possibly | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
expect at extra time? I am not sure where we go. Newtonmore have had a | :11:17. | :11:26. | |
few injuries. Some incredible recoveries. Norman Campbell, it | :11:27. | :11:35. | |
looked like his match was over. He has played a hugely important part | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
in this match. When Norman went down at that injury I did not think he | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
would go off, he would play with a broken leg. In terms of how this | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
will finish, I am going to put you on the spot. I am going to stick | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
with my initial choice, Newtonmore. It is promising to be a hugely | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
interesting period of extra time. We have 30 minutes minimum of extra | :11:58. | :12:16. | |
time. Deke Cameron is referee. Newtonmore is in the hoops. | :12:17. | :12:38. | |
We are here because there was an absolutely fantastic chance missed | :12:39. | :12:52. | |
for Kyles. Yes, unfortunately, Dunky Kerr just smashed it wide. | :12:53. | :13:04. | |
Calum Stewart is on for a Newtonmore. Thomas Whyte has gone | :13:05. | :13:20. | |
off. It looks like Robinson is back on, as well. Sandy McKenzie is the | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
substitute for Kyles. Evan Menzies has gone off for | :13:27. | :13:47. | |
Newtonmore. I'm surprised Paul MacArthur has gone off. I didn't | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
think he was slowing down. I would have put money on Paul MacArthur | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
myself. I think he would want to take a penalty as well, if it goes | :14:01. | :14:12. | |
to that stage. I am surprised that Evan Menzies went off, as well. You | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
need the players on the field at the last minute to be able to take the | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
penalties. So, 15 minutes each time in extra time, then the dreaded | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
penalties. You would know that if you were watching the Camanachd Cup | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
semifinals. A little bit of actors dine on the right-hand side here. | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
Some players sharing pleasantries. It has been a good-natured game | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
against two of the great clubs in shinty. They have great respect for | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
each other. They take no prisoners. Tiredness is now a fact for both | :14:59. | :15:29. | |
sides. Normally the first thing that goes is the decision-making when you | :15:30. | :15:43. | |
get tired. Zachary has had a good game. Has not done much wrong. | :15:44. | :15:53. | |
Roddy McDonald could still have a big say in this game. Calum | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
MacDonald. That was asking a lot at this | :16:00. | :16:27. | |
stage. You wouldn't want to be stretching your legs down into the | :16:28. | :16:39. | |
corner. Good play again thereby Vinnie. | :16:40. | :16:52. | |
No challenge on that role from Kyles. The midfield has been very | :16:53. | :17:05. | |
underused in this match. You could have grown potatoes therefrom much | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
of the game. Lovely touch, good play. An appalling final ball. | :17:12. | :17:27. | |
Calum Miller has had a good game. He has been out of the game for six | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
weeks, but he has read the game well, tackled well. | :17:35. | :17:44. | |
That is tiredness, I expect. I don't know if he is praying, but he | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
certainly has enough to think about. He is running out of options. | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
I expect he is hoping that he will be able to get a ball to Danny McRae | :18:02. | :18:16. | |
in a bit of space. This space will become bigger as legs get more | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
tired. He would leave Danny McRae on the | :18:19. | :18:32. | |
field, even if he was on crutches, wouldn't you? Absolutely. | :18:33. | :18:47. | |
Robinson with a good strong challenge. Dunky Kerr, I don't know | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
where he gets his energy from, but he has raised the pace. Ackie | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
MacRae, as we said earlier, has grown in stature. | :19:03. | :19:18. | |
Nothing in that. Referee is letting the play go on. | :19:19. | :19:35. | |
The hitting is getting shorter as the players get more tired. Well, | :19:36. | :19:48. | |
they might be tired, but they are not giving up. It is bad to see | :19:49. | :20:02. | |
Macintosh getting annoyed for Kyles, he tends to play better when he gets | :20:03. | :20:03. | |
annoyed. He took a great decision they're not | :20:04. | :20:45. | |
to swing. Fair play to him, he did not follow through. | :20:46. | :21:06. | |
Michael Russell is just getting more tired. The wing centres for Kyles | :21:07. | :21:16. | |
are just getting a bit more freedom. Down to Jonathan. PJ, what is the | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
key to bit three? It is he wants it most. Both teams are getting tired. | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
It will come down to desire and heart. Thanks, PJ. Dying to heart, | :21:30. | :21:44. | |
the legs, the lungs, everything. We knew Robinson can score the winning | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
goal because he has done it in a fit -- in a Camanachd Cup Cup Final. | :21:51. | :22:14. | |
advantage is with Dunky Kerr. That is a deflection. I am not sure if it | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
was the keeper. Classic Dunky Kerr. Hitting the ball on the run. That is | :22:23. | :22:32. | |
a great save by Michael Ritchie. That has Newtonmore in the, simple | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
as that. I think the next goal will be the winner. | :22:38. | :22:48. | |
Robinson has tidied up the middle of the field since he came back on. | :22:49. | :23:05. | |
Dunky Kerr tends to hit the ball very quickly, instinctively. When he | :23:06. | :23:16. | |
had that last chance, he had to do that because he had nobody else | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
inside him. Still able to raise a smile. Well, sometimes able to raise | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
a smile! He does get a bit tense at times. Someone go and pick up our | :23:34. | :23:47. | |
cameraman, please. Cameron Binnie is not giving an inch. Not even | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
blowing, actually. He has come to this remarkably well. All the | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
players have had a great attitude today. | :24:02. | :24:11. | |
That has just Edinburgh Glen MacIntosh. | :24:12. | :24:26. | |
Dunky Kerr is in the middle, there is an extra man. Kyles have an extra | :24:27. | :24:37. | |
man. Who else but Cameron Binnie steps in this? | :24:38. | :24:50. | |
Cameron Binnie has lost this one, though. A couple of minutes left. PJ | :24:51. | :25:14. | |
is perplexed. The referee is clear it is Kyles's ball. | :25:15. | :25:39. | |
Kyles are edging forward. Cameron Binnie may regret that foul. It is | :25:40. | :25:55. | |
in a dangerous area for Kyles to create something. Not even close. | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
That is a tired effort. Clever play by Newtonmore. | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
That is a tired effort. Clever play by Danny McRae. Chance for | :26:05. | :26:18. | |
Newtonmore. Glen MacIntosh of all people you would expect to put that | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
on the target. He has scored four goals so far in this competition. He | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
has had two chances in this game, both over the bar. Not like him. I | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
think it was slightly off-balance there. He had room, time and the | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
target at his mercy. Robinson has been immense in extra | :26:39. | :26:52. | |
time. This time referee is absolutely spot | :26:53. | :27:26. | |
on. That is the 15 minutes of the first period of extra time gone. I | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
think they will be turning around very, very quick leave. I think that | :27:32. | :27:46. | |
is what the referee once, anyway. -- wants. | :27:47. | :27:53. | |
I am joined by Jimmy Gow. A good couple of chances in extra time | :27:54. | :28:00. | |
there. Glenn is normally a lovely striker of the ball but it was a bad | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
shot, I'm afraid. A great effort by Dunky Kerr. Well stopped by Michael | :28:07. | :28:16. | |
Ritchie. It was a great effort. I don't think Michael really knew | :28:17. | :28:28. | |
where it was going. Very fortunate. Any the wiser as to how this match | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
will finish? No! Tiredness will creep in. Can you see one player in | :28:34. | :28:46. | |
particular stepping up to the plate? You have to say, in this | :28:47. | :28:59. | |
extra time period, maybe Roddy McDonald could do something, he | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
hasn't done very much. The second period of extra time | :29:04. | :29:10. | |
beckons. The referee, Deke Cameron, gets it going again. Kyles are | :29:11. | :29:18. | |
attacking the golf course and, to our right. Newtonmore are attacking | :29:19. | :29:27. | |
the town end. It is 1-1 after 90 minutes of regulation time and the | :29:28. | :29:29. | |
first 15 minutes of extra time. mistake. It could be anything. We | :29:30. | :30:09. | |
have had goals aplenty in these finals over the years. Few and far | :30:10. | :30:13. | |
between today, partly because of good goalkeeping. The goal hasn't | :30:14. | :30:16. | |
been threatened that much. Took one on the back of the legs, | :30:17. | :30:30. | |
which irritated him into sending the ball the length of the field. As the | :30:31. | :30:36. | |
sun comes out, the shadows lengthen. A glorious day. Not a | :30:37. | :30:48. | |
clever ball but Kyles got away with it. Space for Roddy MacDonald and | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
Kyles had an extra man. He was taken out. That is where you want Roddy, | :30:54. | :31:05. | |
getting the ball and gliding on. REFEREE: Verbal warning. A shake of | :31:06. | :31:16. | |
the hands. But it was a sore one. He is up and running. Again, a tired | :31:17. | :31:27. | |
effort. James Perlich is enquiring of his players if they are all | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
right. So now we have to start thinking about who is going to be on | :31:31. | :31:34. | |
the pitch at the end of the game. Because that would be penalties. | :31:35. | :31:44. | |
My understanding is the penalties would be on our left hand side, at | :31:45. | :31:50. | |
the town end, if we need to take them. | :31:51. | :31:57. | |
I am sure everybody, everybody, hopes the game will finish before | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
then with a result. Roddy MacDonald found Zavaroni at | :32:02. | :32:17. | |
pace. He took the option of going back in but he overran Roddy | :32:18. | :32:24. | |
MacDonald. Lovely skill from Donald Ervin. -- Irvine. That was | :32:25. | :32:37. | |
disappointing. Having done all the hard work, he won't be too happy | :32:38. | :32:43. | |
with that. A good attacking that form wasted. -- platform wasted. The | :32:44. | :32:54. | |
sun is in the eyes at the moment. I am not sure it would be a factor, | :32:55. | :32:59. | |
but it could be. If there was a long shot. Ritchie has a cap on in the | :33:00. | :33:07. | |
Newtonmore goal. At the other end, Kenny McDonald has his back to the | :33:08. | :33:09. | |
sun at the moment. Well, worth a dig. His third chance | :33:10. | :33:25. | |
of the game. This is all about instinct, isn't it? The ball came to | :33:26. | :33:32. | |
him and he just turned. He is not even seeing that, is he? Just came | :33:33. | :33:39. | |
across in front of the defender. Another massive rocket from Kenny | :33:40. | :33:42. | |
McDonald, almost two thirds of the length of this huge pitch. Norman | :33:43. | :33:52. | |
Campbell, just coming up against two players. This is the prize. The | :33:53. | :34:01. | |
trophy donated by Flora McCauley in 1947. The first winners were | :34:02. | :34:08. | |
Newtonmore. They have not exactly covered themselves in glory in this | :34:09. | :34:12. | |
competition. It has been a bit of a bogey for them. They haven't won it | :34:13. | :34:21. | |
since 1986. 28 years, that's a long wait. I don't believe that. I don't | :34:22. | :34:26. | |
think they can believe it themselves. Today would be a good | :34:27. | :34:28. | |
day to lay that bogey to rest. The players with their hands up to | :34:29. | :34:43. | |
their faces, looking back up towards the town end. The players are | :34:44. | :34:49. | |
struggling, there is no way the goalie is not struggling. | :34:50. | :35:02. | |
Oh, well taken, oh it's in! , Ritchie came again. That's a | :35:03. | :35:12. | |
match-winning, possibly a match-winning save. You do not want | :35:13. | :35:18. | |
to be under this kind of pressure, a ball dropping like this. Very | :35:19. | :35:29. | |
difficult, didn't read it. It seemed to take forever to come down. Roddy | :35:30. | :35:37. | |
MacDonald just couldn't get enough on it to steer it into the net. | :35:38. | :35:47. | |
Roddy MacDonald turned inside. He just walked into that one. This | :35:48. | :35:55. | |
could be another dental job. Caught him on the side of the air that | :35:56. | :36:01. | |
time, not so bad. Just the tail end of the swing. The well-known shinty | :36:02. | :36:17. | |
Sinn T diagnosis: He's all right! I think he is. Shake of the head, gum | :36:18. | :36:20. | |
shield in and off we go. The Newtonmore bench were furious, | :36:21. | :36:33. | |
they want their attackers to do some defending here. I am convinced that | :36:34. | :36:45. | |
one goal would do. Irvine is not going to catch that. We have been | :36:46. | :36:56. | |
stuck down this end a wee while now. The flags are going, so I suspect | :36:57. | :37:01. | |
the breeze has had more of an effect than we would guess. It's a wide | :37:02. | :37:06. | |
open space. A good tackle by Fraser MacIntosh | :37:07. | :37:24. | |
but he didn't get enough on it. A big part of the game, just getting | :37:25. | :37:29. | |
the ball up to the other end. That's all you want to do, hoping | :37:30. | :37:31. | |
for a mistake. That's a great stop. Oh! Goal! | :37:32. | :37:55. | |
Fraser MacIntosh. Well, Fraser MacIntosh may well have won the cup | :37:56. | :38:01. | |
for Newtonmore. A tremendous finish. It's that dangerous ball | :38:02. | :38:08. | |
over the top. Although Coley did well, the rest of them fell down. | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
Just moved him out of the way and let Fraser take the shot. Good play. | :38:14. | :38:19. | |
There was nothing Kenny McDonald could do about it. Nothing he could | :38:20. | :38:28. | |
do about it. We have our third goal. Kyles 1-2 Newtonmore. | :38:29. | :38:38. | |
Keep your eye on the clock. The crucial count now is 30 minutes. | :38:39. | :38:58. | |
Just about five and a bit, perhaps... If there's injury time. | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
Newtonmore are going to make another change. Mullander. He has played a | :39:03. | :39:12. | |
lot for the first team this year. He has done OK. A fresh pair of legs. | :39:13. | :39:19. | |
The important thing now is Newtonmore are ahead. One goal will | :39:20. | :39:28. | |
do, that's always the case. The best place to have the ball is out this | :39:29. | :39:32. | |
end, Newtonmore can just keep it up here. Just pop it in the corner, to | :39:33. | :39:41. | |
be honest. Mullander, getting the wind up on the touchline, being told | :39:42. | :39:47. | |
what to do. This is when it gets edgy. We are verging on a decision. | :39:48. | :39:55. | |
I have to say, I am relieved we might not be getting penalties, | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
because it's just such a difficult way to settle a match. There might | :40:00. | :40:02. | |
be some injury time. A couple of guys going down. Kyles | :40:03. | :40:20. | |
players. Fair play to Jamie, he has done a great shift. He has turned | :40:21. | :40:26. | |
the second period of extra time around. | :40:27. | :40:33. | |
The corner was driven low and hard this time. | :40:34. | :40:44. | |
Fraser MacIntosh can call on an extensive lineage. A little bit of | :40:45. | :40:55. | |
afters there. A hefty challenge. Michael Russell, just frustration. I | :40:56. | :41:04. | |
think we are going to have the first booking of the game. Yes, stupid by | :41:05. | :41:12. | |
David Zavaroni. He has conceded a foul. David Zavaroni is going into | :41:13. | :41:24. | |
the referee's book. It's been played in great spirits, it's unfortunate | :41:25. | :41:28. | |
that at the end of the day we have had to have a booking. Just | :41:29. | :41:41. | |
frustration. They are as well losing another goal as not getting on at | :41:42. | :41:48. | |
the other end. The clock is running and Newtonmore will know how to run | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
it down. It needs to get up the other end if you have anything to do | :41:54. | :42:00. | |
with Kyles. A despairing lunge on that one. | :42:01. | :42:06. | |
Just the right place for it, pop it in the corner. It all helps to eat | :42:07. | :42:27. | |
up the clock. They can regroup, get their shape back. Mullander, coming | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
on. The goal-scorer Fraser MacIntosh is coming off. That could be the | :42:33. | :42:40. | |
winner. Could be the man who has laid a 28 year bogey. I suspect his | :42:41. | :42:46. | |
father might have been in the team that won it. Probably. Ken | :42:47. | :42:57. | |
MacIntosh. We will have everyone scurrying for the record books. | :42:58. | :43:05. | |
Could be wrong. My apologies to Ken if I am ageing him. | :43:06. | :43:13. | |
We are in the final minute, perchance, of extra time. | :43:14. | :43:22. | |
Kyles are throwing everything at it. The kitchen sink. Norman MacDonald | :43:23. | :43:30. | |
has asked everyone to go up. They have left two men in their own half, | :43:31. | :43:35. | |
and Kenny McDonald. They might as well lose 3-1. This is the danger. | :43:36. | :43:42. | |
Irvine has to put it on the goal. Deflection, corner. 30 seconds left. | :43:43. | :43:50. | |
They have done it before. It wouldn't surprise you if they pull | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
something out of the bag. Something lucky. | :43:55. | :44:05. | |
It's nowhere at the moment, it's going to go rocketing back into the | :44:06. | :44:12. | |
Newtonmore defence. Well closed down by Mullander. He did a good job | :44:13. | :44:15. | |
keeping it in play. Roddy MacDonald was onto it. Chips | :44:16. | :44:34. | |
it in, and it is past the post. Deke Cameron knows, I suspect, it's all | :44:35. | :44:41. | |
over. It could be one hit out and that will be it. It has been a good | :44:42. | :44:49. | |
game. The winner is the team that scores most goals. More goals, I | :44:50. | :44:55. | |
suppose. Time for Newtonmore to launch one | :44:56. | :45:15. | |
more attack. Kenny McDonald, out he comes. They have to get this to the | :45:16. | :45:23. | |
other end of the pitch. Binnie against Roddy MacDonald. | :45:24. | :45:28. | |
Danny MacRae sends it into the corner. Mullander fires it across. | :45:29. | :45:48. | |
Still a minute and a half over. Deke Cameron looks at his watch. Danny | :45:49. | :45:54. | |
MacRae fires it wide. Deke Cameron is still not blowing. | :45:55. | :46:02. | |
Newtonmore will make another quick change. To kill some time. | :46:03. | :46:10. | |
Just an effort to make sure the clock is going down. Another Kyles | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
player down injured. It looks like Ian McDonald, yes, it | :46:15. | :46:22. | |
is. He is done for, I think. Deke Cameron... Fraser MacIntosh has | :46:23. | :46:42. | |
done the business. It looks as if he has made a little bit of history for | :46:43. | :46:51. | |
himself and for the club. Laying the bogey. | :46:52. | :46:59. | |
This could be the last effort. FULL-TIME WHISTLE | :47:00. | :47:19. | |
It is all over! Newtonmore have laid a 28 year bogey | :47:20. | :47:27. | |
to rest at long last, earning the 2014 MacAulay Cup. Deservedly so. I | :47:28. | :47:36. | |
think it was. The first half, they had a lot of chances. Kyles came | :47:37. | :47:43. | |
back, just didn't have enough. They managed to manufacture the last | :47:44. | :47:49. | |
goal. Dunky Kerr will not want to be minded, but there were chances at | :47:50. | :47:54. | |
both ends. The biggest chance, the single most important element of the | :47:55. | :47:57. | |
game was that missed chance when Kyles could have changed the course | :47:58. | :48:03. | |
of the game. Time inside the box, he smashed it wide. Ritchie had a few | :48:04. | :48:09. | |
stops as well. From Roddy, two chances he had in the whole game. | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
Both goalkeepers were good today, which is nice. Tremendous scenes | :48:14. | :48:20. | |
here. Let's see if Jonathan is surviving in the middle of all this | :48:21. | :48:27. | |
celebration. Thank you very much, I am joined by Fraser MacIntosh, the | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
man of the moment. You have won this match for Newtonmore, | :48:32. | :48:32. | |
man of the moment. You have won this match the first time they have on | :48:33. | :48:35. | |
the MacAulay Cup in 28 years, how does that feel? It feels great, I | :48:36. | :48:42. | |
wasn't born the last time we won it. Great to score the winning goal, but | :48:43. | :48:45. | |
you never think it is going to happen. Luckily it went informally. | :48:46. | :48:51. | |
Let's have a look, talk us through it. | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
happen. Luckily it went informally. Let's have a -- it went in. As soon | :48:56. | :49:02. | |
as it went in, I was just relieved. If you hit it in the air, he will | :49:03. | :49:08. | |
just pluck it out. It just scrambled in the bottom corner, they all | :49:09. | :49:13. | |
count. Kenny McDonald had pulled off several saves, did you think it was | :49:14. | :49:19. | |
heading for penalties? I did. Both teams had kind of settled for | :49:20. | :49:24. | |
penalties, but thankfully no, because we had a penalty shoot out | :49:25. | :49:29. | |
earlier this year and it didn't go well. Many congratulations, the | :49:30. | :49:33. | |
trophy celebration awaits you. Cheers. It was a fantastic goal to | :49:34. | :49:42. | |
win the match, Jimmy. It looked like penalties would be the thing, but | :49:43. | :49:46. | |
what a strike. It was great for Fraser to get back with that, his | :49:47. | :49:53. | |
first game and a fairy tale ending. Did you think it was going to be | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
penalties? It was looking like penalties. It is massive for | :49:58. | :50:04. | |
Newtonmore. 1986 the last time they won the MacAulay Cup. 28 years on, | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
finally they do it again, what does it mean? It will mean the world to | :50:10. | :50:15. | |
them, I am happy for Newtonmore. 28 years is a long wait. They are a | :50:16. | :50:20. | |
good team, they have been very good over the years. We thought they | :50:21. | :50:24. | |
might tire in extra time, because guys were getting sprayed on the | :50:25. | :50:27. | |
pitch, it looked like the match was over and yet they came back time and | :50:28. | :50:32. | |
again. They were heroes at the back, some fantastic tackles. The | :50:33. | :50:39. | |
trophy celebration is just about to happen, back to Hugh Dan MacLennan | :50:40. | :50:51. | |
for the presentation. An elegant tribute to Newtonmore. And he is | :50:52. | :50:59. | |
perfectly right. It has been a huge gap in Newtonmore's history that | :51:00. | :51:03. | |
they have not been able to exist trophy up, but now they have done | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
it. They can put it to do that now and forget about it. It was a very | :51:08. | :51:18. | |
close game. It was a scrappy game at times. It had its moments. Very | :51:19. | :51:25. | |
great goalkeeping from both ends of the pitch. A fantastic scene always | :51:26. | :51:32. | |
to see the presentation here, the way it is conducted. It is Fraser | :51:33. | :51:43. | |
Ingalls, as President of the MacAulay Association who is normally | :51:44. | :51:49. | |
in charge for the BBC. Taking a day off. I think PJ deserves a bit of | :51:50. | :52:04. | |
credit. He put in an awful lot of tackles. The captain, Scott | :52:05. | :52:22. | |
Chisholm, get the winner's black silver winner's stick. Cameron | :52:23. | :52:28. | |
Finney, who was outstanding, I thought. McRae. Stephen McDonnell. | :52:29. | :52:39. | |
MacArthur. Jamie Robertson. I think he showed a lot of heart. He touched | :52:40. | :52:45. | |
on the fact that the team that wanted it the most would win it. I | :52:46. | :52:50. | |
think they wanted it more. It was a small margin but maybe that 28 year | :52:51. | :53:00. | |
gap is the reason they won. This is the man who will take it home | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
tonight. This is the winning captain. Scott Chisholm of | :53:05. | :53:11. | |
Newtonmore. He accepts the MacAulay Cup for 2014. From Douglas Cooper, | :53:12. | :53:25. | |
and the celebrations can begin because it is a hugely | :53:26. | :53:26. | |
and the celebrations can begin because it is a important night, | :53:27. | :53:35. | |
this, for Newtonmore. A great game. It was a great afternoon here and I | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
leave you in the very capable hands of Jason Sutherland. | :53:41. | :53:45. | |
STUDIO: It has been an historic afternoon for Newtonmore. They | :53:46. | :53:51. | |
finally get their hands again on the MacAulay Cup. You'd celebrations | :53:52. | :53:58. | |
tonight. Another cup final soon. But today it is all about Newtonmore. | :53:59. | :54:04. | |
They finally have their revenge. It has been a great afternoon of | :54:05. | :54:08. | |
