The great Glen, a land of myths and legends. On the shores of Loch Ness

:00:28.:00:44.

Glen, one of shinty's oldest clubs. 130 years of history, but never the

:00:45.:00:51.

biggest prize, the Camanachd Cup. The closest they have come, the

:00:52.:00:56.

fairy tale Final in 1988 when they lead but lost to Kingussie. Once

:00:57.:01:02.

dubbed the most successful team in world sport the Kings were the first

:01:03.:01:07.

winners of the Camanachd cup in 1896. 22 times they have listed the

:01:08.:01:18.

famous trophy -- lifted the famous trophy, but in this land of myths,

:01:19.:01:25.

legends and fairy tales and omen 2014 saw a famous club win their cup

:01:26.:01:38.

after weighting 130 years. The 2014 Scottish Cup is St Johnstone's does

:01:39.:01:45.

destiny now call for men from the Glen? The main moment in the shinty

:01:46.:01:53.

world is finally here, and so to thankfully other teams. Glenurquhart

:01:54.:02:00.

Shinty Club hoping to win the shinty cup for the first time in their 130

:02:01.:02:06.

year history, the side that beat them the last time they were in the

:02:07.:02:11.

final was Kingussie who they are up against. Welcome to the Camanachd

:02:12.:02:16.

Cup Finals of 2014 here at Bught Park in Inverness, this year between

:02:17.:02:21.

Kingussie and Glenurquhart. The action gets underway in 15 minutes

:02:22.:02:25.

time and it's an absolutely glorious day in Inverness, it has to be said.

:02:26.:02:30.

There is a hugely pungent atmosphere in the Highland capital and the

:02:31.:02:35.

crowds have come with the weather absolutely glorious and you can hear

:02:36.:02:38.

the strains of the pipe band in the background. This really is the big

:02:39.:02:45.

one, this is the big one, both metaphorically and physically. The

:02:46.:02:48.

Camanachd Cup Finals, the World Cup of shinty, the trophy that every

:02:49.:02:51.

shinty player wants to win. Thankfully I'm joined by two players

:02:52.:02:54.

who know exactly what it's like to wind this shinty trophy, Fraser

:02:55.:03:04.

Inglis and another former Scotland international. How do you see this

:03:05.:03:09.

afternoon's match going? It will be tight, they are third and fourth in

:03:10.:03:11.

the league, they have played each other twice and got one each so it

:03:12.:03:15.

could not be tighter going into the game and the managers will have a

:03:16.:03:18.

pivotal role in what tactics to pick. It could be the decision that

:03:19.:03:24.

wins the cup. It is a glorious day in Inverness, perfect for the

:03:25.:03:28.

Camanachd Cup Finals, and both sides have a real reason to win today,

:03:29.:03:32.

Glen Urquhart in the final for only their second time in their history

:03:33.:03:36.

and Kingussie with a poignant centenary celebration, how do you

:03:37.:03:40.

see the match going? Kyles will feel this is their best opportunity. As

:03:41.:03:46.

Fraser said they are very close in league action having played each

:03:47.:03:49.

other twice and one apiece, so we are in for a cracker today. I would

:03:50.:03:53.

say it is too tight to call. We will discuss it in more depth shortly but

:03:54.:03:57.

for the moment thank you very much. I've been talking to a few key

:03:58.:04:01.

players and managers in either camp, including one player who made the

:04:02.:04:10.

journey from Africa. My mother 's family was from John -- and after 11

:04:11.:04:21.

years of living in Zambia we came to live here. I saw the boys in

:04:22.:04:26.

training one day, the under 12, and thought I would have a go. And then

:04:27.:04:31.

it took off as a shinty player. You only talk about the Camanachd, it's

:04:32.:04:35.

the one thing to get to. The finally get there now it is unbelievable.

:04:36.:04:42.

Our boys have been in three senior finals in the last couple of

:04:43.:04:46.

seasons, so they are not completely un-used to the big occasion and have

:04:47.:04:52.

played well this year and will finish third in the league and

:04:53.:04:56.

Kingussie will finish fourth. I think Kingussie will go in

:04:57.:04:59.

favourites in the big match location. It's only the third time

:05:00.:05:02.

we have reached the final in 130 years so it's not a good record. The

:05:03.:05:08.

Kingussie team of 88 were at the peak of their powers so we have

:05:09.:05:12.

worked really hard to put in a good performance. Over Loch Ness and into

:05:13.:05:16.

the Ken dawns, another veteran of the 1988 final has been casting his

:05:17.:05:20.

eye over Kingussie's current crop. His fond memories of that famous

:05:21.:05:28.

game. Glen Urquhart played very well on that date and Kingussie didn't.

:05:29.:05:33.

They lead for a long period before Kingussie overcame them 4-2. It was

:05:34.:05:38.

great for everybody and was a great spectacle and it was a great game.

:05:39.:05:41.

Kingussie's last Camanachd Cup triumph came in 2006 with Ronald

:05:42.:05:46.

Ross scoring all four goals in their victory over Fort William. Their

:05:47.:05:51.

captain that date says they remain as potent a goal-scoring threat.

:05:52.:05:56.

Ronald was one of the best scorers and best players the game has ever

:05:57.:06:00.

seen. To have him back in the squad for tomorrow is a massive boost. You

:06:01.:06:05.

will see him tomorrow. During the game and in training, he is as fit

:06:06.:06:11.

as he has ever been. We have played Glen Urquhart a couple of times this

:06:12.:06:15.

season and lost one and 11. They will be the same. The team that

:06:16.:06:20.

plays best on the day will win. -- won one. This is a hugely poignant

:06:21.:06:28.

day for Kingussie, 100 years ago in 1914 day won the Camanachd Cup

:06:29.:06:31.

Finals. The players that played that day went on to fight in the Great

:06:32.:06:35.

War, and six of them never returned. They died in battle. They will be

:06:36.:06:39.

remembered today by the Kingussie team who are wearing special

:06:40.:06:44.

commemorative shirts to show their respect for former Kingussie players

:06:45.:06:47.

who died in battle. Let's have a look at this year's progress to the

:06:48.:06:52.

Camanachd Cup Finals in this year's Kingussie team. It started with a 2

:06:53.:06:57.

-1 victory over Lovat. Genini and Borthwick on the scoresheet. Then a

:06:58.:07:03.

1-0 victory over Kelly's athletic, Genini again the goal-scorer. In the

:07:04.:07:09.

semifinal it was nip and tuck. 2-2 against Fort William and Genini

:07:10.:07:14.

again on the scoresheet -- Kelly's athletic. Eventually it went to

:07:15.:07:19.

penalties which Kingussie's won. Ronald Ross, the great Rinaldo of

:07:20.:07:23.

the Glens as he is known. He still going strong. He's the one player

:07:24.:07:29.

everyone has heard of. -- Ronaldo of the Glens. Maybe seems to be quite

:07:30.:07:35.

sure if there is life in the old dog. We saw that Ronald scored a

:07:36.:07:42.

goal on 90 minutes and the two vital penalties. This is in an earlier

:07:43.:07:50.

game. The semifinal. The ball breaks to Ronald and that's the power he

:07:51.:07:57.

has. That gave Kingussie the upper hand in that game and when it came

:07:58.:08:01.

to the penalties he took the first one so he has proved crucial in this

:08:02.:08:06.

year's, edition and who is to say he will not be crucial again today? Is

:08:07.:08:13.

this his swansong? He's achieved more than anybody else and yet 20

:08:14.:08:19.

years after he played in his first final he is just as hungry. He might

:08:20.:08:24.

be backs next year. He keeps himself fit and mentally he still wants to

:08:25.:08:29.

play. It's going to be exciting to see him in action. Let's talk about

:08:30.:08:31.

Glen Urquhart who made it through the various rounds to this year's

:08:32.:08:35.

Camanachd Cup Finals starting with a 5-3 victory over Lochaber. In round

:08:36.:08:43.

three and impressive 3-1 victory over in their area. James MacPherson

:08:44.:08:44.

with two of the goals this time. -- let's talk about James MacPherson,

:08:45.:08:59.

the top scorer in the Camanachd Cup this year. How important a player

:09:00.:09:03.

will he be if Glen Urquhart hope to win the trophy at last? He's the man

:09:04.:09:08.

who's been scoring for Glen Urquhart and they will look for him again to

:09:09.:09:11.

hit the back of the net. In the semifinals against Skye, the ball

:09:12.:09:20.

comes out, and he ran over and he shouts and slips inside the player

:09:21.:09:24.

and unleashes an unstoppable shot. James has the quality that you have

:09:25.:09:29.

two have to be one of the best players and it's a bit of

:09:30.:09:32.

selfishness and he has that and that is why he is the top goal-scorer for

:09:33.:09:36.

Glen Urquhart at this point. Absolutely. Let's talk about today

:09:37.:09:41.

predictions wise. They are third and fourth in the league, they've played

:09:42.:09:46.

each other a couple of times and one has gone either way. What is your

:09:47.:09:51.

prediction for today's match? Glen Urquhart are the more settled team

:09:52.:09:54.

and slightly younger and they have more options, more positional

:09:55.:09:59.

options and more men on the bench. If they get the tactics right this

:10:00.:10:02.

could be the day for them. One of their tactics has to be how to deal

:10:03.:10:06.

with Ronald. If they get that right back or be the first time Glen

:10:07.:10:10.

Urquhart win the cup. You think it could be Glen Urquhart? Yes. My

:10:11.:10:17.

prediction is for a great game of shinty. I'd love to see Glen

:10:18.:10:21.

Urquhart win, the opportunity to take the cup back to Glen Urquhart

:10:22.:10:24.

for the first time would be huge and we have the chance for a bit of

:10:25.:10:28.

history. I wish Kingussie the best but I would love to see Glen

:10:29.:10:32.

Urquhart take it home today for shinty. Gary will be the

:10:33.:10:36.

co-commentator today. It's about to get underway. Let's throw to your

:10:37.:10:41.

match commentator today, the one and only Hugh Dan MacLennan.

:10:42.:10:44.

COMMENTATOR: These are tremendous scenes. What many people believe to

:10:45.:10:51.

be the home of the Camanachd Cup Finals, the Bught Park in Inverness

:10:52.:10:57.

bought from a local farmer, Mr McBain, in 1923 by the local

:10:58.:11:01.

authority and ever since it has been the spiritual home of this great

:11:02.:11:06.

event, although it does go to other territories in the shinty playing

:11:07.:11:11.

community, it is a fabulous setting today played against the background,

:11:12.:11:16.

I must say, of hundreds of Highland athletes tossing the caber, throwing

:11:17.:11:20.

the weights, allsorts of stuff going on in the immediate environment of

:11:21.:11:26.

this wonderful pitch with the Inverness is leading the two teams

:11:27.:11:33.

out. Massively important occasion for both teams in shinty terms, in

:11:34.:11:38.

terms of their history as a club and in terms of the centenary of the

:11:39.:11:43.

First World War, as we heard. It is not just Kingussie commemorating the

:11:44.:11:46.

loss of many people. Glen Urquhart lost at least 50 people in that

:11:47.:11:53.

particular period. But today's event is commemorating the 1914 final of

:11:54.:12:02.

course and the Kingussie players now showing the special commemorative

:12:03.:12:09.

strips with the names, each player wearing the name of a player who

:12:10.:12:15.

played in that particular position. The President of the Camanachd

:12:16.:12:29.

Association's Sun will be playing today. -- son. James McClean will

:12:30.:12:54.

not be in the starting line-up. I'm sure he will appear in midfield.

:12:55.:12:58.

Plenty of support from the Glen, 14 miles to the west of Inverness. And

:12:59.:13:08.

who's to say that if the predictions are part predictions by my

:13:09.:13:14.

co-commentator, Gary Innis, it will be a great location. If it went back

:13:15.:13:23.

with them, maybe even Nessie herself would be there to welcome them. But

:13:24.:13:28.

there is a very big obstacle to get past it for the can even think about

:13:29.:13:33.

that. The Kingussie team. Eddie Tembo, the skipper. He has a

:13:34.:13:43.

wonderful sense of humour. You would have to to have a haircut! And the

:13:44.:13:56.

chieftain of the Camanachd Association Jock Turner in the

:13:57.:14:01.

background of Bute and Kyles athletic. I know that Kyles athletic

:14:02.:14:07.

would have loved to be here today but they found Kingussie that much

:14:08.:14:17.

of an obstacle also. I hesitate to say, but he is meeting his own team

:14:18.:14:22.

but I'm sure he will temporarily set aside his loyalties. No doubt there

:14:23.:14:34.

will be a firmness to the handshake. Because there is an awful long

:14:35.:14:40.

period here that the cup has not come back to the Glen. 130 years.

:14:41.:14:51.

McAllister will also be involved in presenting the trophies at the end

:14:52.:14:56.

of the game. Absolutely glorious setting looking towards the town end

:14:57.:15:00.

of the pitch from the ice Rink end, for those of you who know the

:15:01.:15:12.

Inverness setting. It is shirtsleeve order. The chocolate biscuits are

:15:13.:15:16.

melting in the commentary position. The window is open. Mr Innis is

:15:17.:15:28.

calming and cooling having taken off his very swanky jacket he's wearing

:15:29.:15:33.

today. Much too warm for the conditions, I suspect. The teams are

:15:34.:15:39.

splitting up now. Let's have a look at the line-up formations because

:15:40.:15:44.

they are interesting. Kingussie in their usual lines. They have very

:15:45.:15:50.

strong defence, very good midfield and up front is the key. Is today

:15:51.:15:56.

the day that the Borthwicks and Geninis of the world will make a

:15:57.:16:01.

name for themselves? Glen Urquhart very strong at the back. John Barr

:16:02.:16:05.

is a rock at full-back but there is an issue about his hamstring. Up

:16:06.:16:12.

front they have goals aplenty. MacPherson is perfectly capable of

:16:13.:16:17.

breaching the Kingussie defence. The captain is Eddie Tembo, who has

:16:18.:16:24.

lined up in midfield. I suspect Glen Urquhart will make a tactical change

:16:25.:16:30.

here pushing Fraser Munro forward. We will have a look at that. The

:16:31.:16:35.

referee is David Mitchell, who is having a bit of difficulty getting

:16:36.:16:40.

the ball in play. So we have Glen Urquhart in the red and black hoops

:16:41.:16:44.

and we have Kingussie in their red and blue strip. Glen Urquhart team

:16:45.:16:50.

heading towards their home area to the west of the town, right-to-left,

:16:51.:16:53.

Kingussie playing from left to right. Gary Innis has joined me in

:16:54.:16:59.

the commentary team. You were sitting on the fence before the

:17:00.:17:05.

match, it's time to come of it. I would like to see Glen Urquhart take

:17:06.:17:08.

it and they have a great chance but we've seen time and time again the

:17:09.:17:11.

Ronald Ross show and you could not put that passed them today. We will

:17:12.:17:17.

have a look at the great man who has lined up way over to our right hand

:17:18.:17:21.

side at the moment. The collision between himself and John Barr will

:17:22.:17:28.

be key in this game. As the midfield will be in particular, for allsorts

:17:29.:17:33.

of reasons. That is a good ball. And well dealt with by Craig Dawson. A

:17:34.:17:41.

converted goalkeeper, if we can call him that. A leading goal-scorer in

:17:42.:17:45.

his day. One of Kingussie's many green keepers. He will have a view

:17:46.:17:50.

on the state of the pitch which we will come back to, the immaculate

:17:51.:17:57.

Bught Park. A few of the players with a feeling that the grass might

:17:58.:18:03.

be a shade long. We will get Gary's view on that shortly. Let's see how

:18:04.:18:07.

Eddie Tembo deals with this. Good ball into the heart of the Kingussie

:18:08.:18:11.

defence and a chance, early chance for Glen Urquhart. The first goal is

:18:12.:18:18.

a cliche, it is always crucial. We saw in the 88 final, although you

:18:19.:18:24.

may not have seen it, the Glen got ahead in the 88 final and then they

:18:25.:18:27.

blew it. Could they do the same again today? Will they go for the

:18:28.:18:32.

early lead? Both teams will set out their stalls and try and get the

:18:33.:18:35.

early lead. That was the first effort of the day. Glen Urquhart

:18:36.:18:40.

will want to get ahead of themselves and settled themselves because

:18:41.:18:43.

Kingussie have a lot more experience in these positions. Just to go back

:18:44.:18:47.

to the bench, is there a feeling from some of the players the grass

:18:48.:18:51.

might be a shade long? Yes and unfortunately I'm one of the

:18:52.:18:57.

critics, Bught Park is never short enough and even when it is cut short

:18:58.:19:05.

it is not short enough for a final. Just a little bit too long for

:19:06.:19:10.

myself. I don't think any of these players will be caring about that at

:19:11.:19:15.

this point. The referee David Mitchell exerting his authority

:19:16.:19:22.

early on. The ball kicked away. He didn't like that, understandably.

:19:23.:19:27.

Kingussie breaking through, but a trip. Gibson from midfield. This is

:19:28.:19:33.

key to the game, clearing your halfback defensive line. Glen

:19:34.:19:41.

Urquhart. Looking pacey and looking interested. Huge support for Glen

:19:42.:19:47.

Urquhart today, as I said just 14 miles away. Lee Bain is an

:19:48.:19:52.

interesting character playing in the heart of the Kingussie defence. He

:19:53.:19:56.

went to school in Glen Urquhart, would you believe, and has now

:19:57.:20:01.

turned out for Kingussie. His loyalties must lie with Kingussie.

:20:02.:20:07.

The loyalties lie here, absolutely. Lee Bain has been upfront for

:20:08.:20:12.

Kingussie most of the season. What a ball that is into the heart of the

:20:13.:20:16.

Kingussie defence. Glen Urquhart trying to clear it, danger, but the

:20:17.:20:23.

extra man in defence counting. At the moment Glen Urquhart running the

:20:24.:20:26.

midfield, there is a chance here for the Glen! He could have done better

:20:27.:20:30.

and should have done better with that because it broke eventually to

:20:31.:20:36.

Craig Dawson. That is a key moment early in the game. You would have

:20:37.:20:43.

wanted to finish this. The ball comes in from Eddie Tembo, the

:20:44.:20:47.

captain and he took too big a swing, he just had to slip it past Dawson.

:20:48.:20:51.

He could have taken it down and taken one step. Here is Ronald Ross

:20:52.:20:54.

for the first time, pulled back by John Barr, good block. John Barr

:20:55.:21:03.

getting it away again. John Barr holding the jersey, is the call from

:21:04.:21:10.

the referee. These are tense moments at both ends. The first opportunity

:21:11.:21:15.

for Kingussie to threaten the Glen goal. Oh! Side netting. That was

:21:16.:21:21.

straight out of the training manual. Absolutely. Everyone's eyes were on

:21:22.:21:27.

the Ronald Ross and Genini ran to the front post, the young

:21:28.:21:30.

18-year-old, who has scored in each match they have played Thurau this

:21:31.:21:34.

competition, and he took his first shot of the afternoon just wide. I

:21:35.:21:39.

seem to recall you doing something very spectacular from a very similar

:21:40.:21:44.

spot many years ago back in the day. They will not be thinking about that

:21:45.:21:52.

just now. Here is Eddie Tembo. Interesting to see Eddie Tembo with

:21:53.:21:55.

a helmet on today, another player who switched to wearing a helmet and

:21:56.:22:01.

face guard after a recent injury. The full mohawk on display. In the

:22:02.:22:12.

MacTavish final which Glen Urquhart famously one I remember seeing him.

:22:13.:22:17.

Shoulder to shoulder is the rule, unless there is some sort of other

:22:18.:22:20.

intent established. What do you make of this? John Barr comes out. It

:22:21.:22:27.

looks pretty shoulder to shoulder. John is a big built man and used his

:22:28.:22:31.

weight to his advantage and has been penalised. I think it is the issue

:22:32.:22:37.

of not being within playing reach of the ball that really went for him

:22:38.:22:40.

there. That is a good ball across the face of the goal, at too much.

:22:41.:22:47.

There is a character we enjoyed a night out with last night, Stuart

:22:48.:22:52.

McIntosh. He appeared on stage with Gary and I at Eden Court in a

:22:53.:22:57.

special commemoration event as part of the festival. We will come back

:22:58.:23:03.

to Stuart McIntosh's playing ability shortly. Eddie Tembo has come back

:23:04.:23:13.

to help the defence. Good block by Gibson. And again, again. Now, there

:23:14.:23:24.

is an issue here for the Glen defenders. They are testing David

:23:25.:23:30.

Mitchell's patients in the first few minutes. If they start to pick up

:23:31.:23:35.

cards and give away fouls there is an inevitable conclusion. Very much

:23:36.:23:39.

show. Mitchell came in a bit heavy-handed on his back and gave

:23:40.:23:43.

away the foul. As the game progresses over the next few minutes

:23:44.:23:47.

we will see less and less of these fouls as Mitchell stamped his

:23:48.:23:53.

authority on this final. Andrew Corrigan of Glen Urquhart has gone

:23:54.:23:58.

down in midfield. He has taken a knock. I think that must be pretty

:23:59.:24:07.

difficult for us to see behind his back. But I think there is going to

:24:08.:24:11.

have to be an early substitution here eight minutes into the game.

:24:12.:24:17.

Thankfully with the new rules as well, with rolling substitutes, you

:24:18.:24:20.

can go off and get treatment and come back on at a later time if he

:24:21.:24:27.

feels he can. I would guess that might be the end of his day

:24:28.:24:33.

unfortunately. Here we have a very interesting swap here. It is Ali

:24:34.:24:43.

mac. He was ruled out earlier in the season and here he is coming on, Ali

:24:44.:24:50.

McIntosh. The historical interest in this is that Ali Tosh, father of the

:24:51.:25:01.

current Ali McIntosh, played in the 1988 final between these teams. I'm

:25:02.:25:05.

sure he is here somewhere but he will be here. Certainly watching his

:25:06.:25:19.

namesake Ali McIntosh. Just a disruption. Any change like that is

:25:20.:25:24.

a disruption. Ronald Ross sends it down the line to Fraser Munro who

:25:25.:25:27.

has been pushed forward by Kingussie. That is a good ball which

:25:28.:25:36.

had to be dealt with. Tembo. He turns and bang, all the way.

:25:37.:25:42.

Hutchinson is after it, just overheating. Well, he needs to keep

:25:43.:25:50.

that kind of supply going. That was a good ball by Eddie, just a little

:25:51.:25:58.

over exuberant but it was a good idea. He almost gave them their

:25:59.:26:05.

first goal recently. There was a strong breeze earlier but looking at

:26:06.:26:08.

the flag to my right it is pretty limp at the moment. I don't big it

:26:09.:26:13.

is to any side's advantage but we will see if it will work that way.

:26:14.:26:19.

Slightly ambitious from Thomas Borthwick. -- I don't think it is to

:26:20.:26:27.

any side's advantage. Aaron Donald with the hit him, he

:26:28.:26:40.

gets one chance at it, he can throw it up as often as he likes as long

:26:41.:26:45.

as he takes only one swing. Two Kingussie defenders. This is where

:26:46.:26:55.

pace takes over. Single-handed run by Fraser Munro, who is beginning to

:26:56.:27:01.

make his mark in the game, he turns inside but that is a good block. And

:27:02.:27:12.

fired back across. Strong tackle by Lewis McLennan, returned by Gibson.

:27:13.:27:20.

Looking for Munro but it is Michael Brady who is busy in that left-hand

:27:21.:27:30.

defensive corner for Glen Urquhart. He took two swipes. What we have

:27:31.:27:38.

seen is a lot of the balls from Glen Urquhart being pushed up the middle

:27:39.:27:47.

rather than wide. Ali Mac pushed it wide there. It is a bit frenetic. We

:27:48.:27:55.

need somebody to take the ball down and play at around, because this guy

:27:56.:28:07.

will. Ronald Ross against John Barr, twisting and turning. He turns away

:28:08.:28:11.

from the angle. Maybe that would have been better cut back across the

:28:12.:28:16.

goal, Gary, but just an inclination here that Ronald Ross is beginning

:28:17.:28:19.

to move around the territory. Yes he is. He has got the ball and was in

:28:20.:28:24.

the position and saw the goal with nobody in front of him and he took

:28:25.:28:27.

his opportunity. He could have pulled it back but in a Camanachd

:28:28.:28:34.

cup final when the ball lands in front of you you just want to hit

:28:35.:28:42.

the target. The goal isn't that big given the length of the field but

:28:43.:28:46.

either side would settle for 1-0, believe you me, at the end of this.

:28:47.:28:50.

I have a funny feeling it's not going to end that way. Barrie

:28:51.:29:02.

Dallas, one of the elder statesmen of the current Kingussie team, if

:29:03.:29:06.

you can call him that. That was confident play from the Glen

:29:07.:29:09.

player, he just played it perfectly. Davy Mitchell, the referee, getting

:29:10.:29:23.

a bit of a shouting match from the sidelines.

:29:24.:29:32.

It is interesting. I'm not sure about this wind, whether there is a

:29:33.:29:41.

bit down at pitch level a little bit more than we can feel. A couple of

:29:42.:29:46.

the throws have been difficult to control. I would say that is more

:29:47.:29:50.

down to the Sun than the wind at this point. There was no noticeable

:29:51.:29:55.

wind, or nothing that would affect the ball in the air having run

:29:56.:30:05.

across it. That is better. The second attempt. That is right on the

:30:06.:30:11.

goal if it is turned the right way, the Glen creative. Dallas gets it

:30:12.:30:20.

away. The heating is not the best at the minute. That is better. That is

:30:21.:30:26.

a great swing, bringing out the goalkeeper, forcing him to play.

:30:27.:30:32.

Stuart McIntosh has put the cap on, the sun is bothering him in the

:30:33.:30:36.

goal. This is a good run from Euan Lloyd in the middle of the Glen

:30:37.:30:50.

midfield. Tembo. And again Glen being patient, working the ball.

:30:51.:30:56.

That was good play, strong tackle from Lewis Monroe. You could see

:30:57.:31:04.

Fraser played for that -- Louis Munro. He got the foul and now there

:31:05.:31:09.

is an opportunity to attack. Good position and plenty of options. The

:31:10.:31:12.

one option he can be not use is to hit the ball into the goal because

:31:13.:31:17.

he cannot score directly from the free hit. Tembo again fires it in.

:31:18.:31:22.

That was a good height and Hutchison got it away. That's the sort of

:31:23.:31:24.

clearance you want your full-back to be making. Genini finding it a bit

:31:25.:31:30.

pacey and a bit of an occasion at the moment. That is an issue for a

:31:31.:31:35.

player as young as this. For all of his talents and everything else he

:31:36.:31:38.

is bound to feel the pace in the early stages of a game like this. We

:31:39.:31:43.

have to remember the young man is 17 or 18 years of age and in his first

:31:44.:31:48.

cup final it's a big occasion and probably a lot is expected of him

:31:49.:31:52.

having scored in each and every other round. As a young man you need

:31:53.:31:57.

to calm down a little bit and basically restart your game again as

:31:58.:32:00.

he has not had the best start so far. Tembo, digging in already. This

:32:01.:32:13.

ball up the middle, no use against Lee Bain. He will get that all day.

:32:14.:32:18.

Straight back up the other end. Just lacking a bit of discipline at the

:32:19.:32:28.

moment, committing little fouls. We have not had a save in the last 15

:32:29.:32:34.

minutes. Both teams are clearly quite nervous and the hitting is not

:32:35.:32:40.

great. As this game goes on hopefully both teams will settle

:32:41.:32:43.

down and play the ball a bit wider as well. A packed stand at the Bught

:32:44.:33:04.

Park. Here is the Glen again. Going towards goal. This time Barrie

:33:05.:33:07.

Dallas gets a second swing in. That is lovely play. By the Kingussie

:33:08.:33:16.

number six. Barry Munro. Just snatching at the ball. -- Garry

:33:17.:33:29.

Munro. That is a strength that the Kingussie bench will be having a

:33:30.:33:33.

word with the sage, Anderson, he will be having a quiet word. He was

:33:34.:33:43.

the only Glenurquhart player booked in the 1988 final. That is the

:33:44.:33:48.

trouble with the hit in, it is not working for either team. We are

:33:49.:33:52.

seeing this once again, there was no excuse on that occasion. It was

:33:53.:34:00.

possibly the sun but at this level it should not be happening. Now,

:34:01.:34:06.

this should go into the heart of the Glen defence. Thank you. Well

:34:07.:34:20.

delivered. John Barr. That was a good clearance, he gets the ball out

:34:21.:34:25.

of play and that gives us our first opportunity to join Jonathan at the

:34:26.:34:30.

touchline. Thanks very much, lots of hurly-burly so far. Fraser Inglis,

:34:31.:34:37.

who has had the best of it? They seem to be first to the ball when it

:34:38.:34:44.

goes loose. And when they get there there is no Glenurquhart player

:34:45.:34:48.

inside. Kingussie will be the happiest with the start. When you

:34:49.:34:52.

start to give that amount of uncontested ball, there is only a

:34:53.:34:56.

matter of time before they get an opportunity. Fraser is a dangerous

:34:57.:35:05.

player. David Smart has shown quite well, going past few defenders. When

:35:06.:35:09.

Glenurquhart get it into the third bail looking dangerous. The game is

:35:10.:35:15.

yet to take shape. -- they are looking. Just looking at the amount

:35:16.:35:21.

of possession that Glenurquhart have, that is giving them an edge in

:35:22.:35:30.

the game. No score after 90 minutes. Barely any effort on goal at all and

:35:31.:35:36.

that tells you it's own story. I get the feeling that the Glen getting

:35:37.:35:41.

more of the ball. They are, Eddie Tembo has been quite good

:35:42.:35:46.

distributing down the middle of the field, but he is not keeping it low

:35:47.:35:50.

which a lot of his forwards in joy receiving the ball that way, he is

:35:51.:35:54.

playing it higher and over the top of the defence. -- they enjoy that.

:35:55.:36:00.

I do not know if that is coming from the management or it is his own

:36:01.:36:08.

decision. Again, that is a long, good hit. WHISTLE

:36:09.:36:15.

Well, that was just a flick, a suggestion that Fraser Munro was

:36:16.:36:24.

caught with a hand. Here we go, he turns it beautifully, running

:36:25.:36:29.

through. All that has happened is that he tries lifting the stick,

:36:30.:36:35.

McDonald, and it has caught in the fingers of Fraser Munro. We will

:36:36.:36:40.

come back to that. That is a good move. I was going to say that sooner

:36:41.:36:46.

or later all of these fouls will have to make them pay, and Genini

:36:47.:36:52.

almost did it. That was straight off the training ground, as we were

:36:53.:36:56.

talking, they were caught short, Genini goes across the face of goal.

:36:57.:37:01.

He tries to slip it in the bottom corner and give Kingussie the lead.

:37:02.:37:07.

The first and best chance of the lead so far, Samuel Genini firing it

:37:08.:37:12.

past the right-hand post of Macintosh. The Glen defence gave it

:37:13.:37:21.

away and went to sleep, I have disabled -- I have the say.

:37:22.:37:32.

Borthwick. The skipper has started well, setting by example with

:37:33.:37:40.

another high ball in. Again, another loose ball. That was over

:37:41.:37:47.

exuberant. The adrenaline is still flowing even after 20 minutes. Now

:37:48.:38:07.

they get a welcome breather. He lines it up. This is a fabulous day

:38:08.:38:18.

for shinty. Barr alt, but he will not want to come out. Here is a

:38:19.:38:26.

chance. Samuel Genini! He has set the ball rolling for Kingussie. That

:38:27.:38:31.

is one way to set his confidence in a cup final, what a ball from that

:38:32.:38:35.

man. The weight on the ball was just perfect. John Barr pulls it to the

:38:36.:38:42.

left. Playing it straight through. And the young man slips it past

:38:43.:38:46.

Stuart McIntosh, not giving him any chance whatsoever. The first thing

:38:47.:38:52.

was the little switch from Ross taking it on to the other hand which

:38:53.:38:57.

completely out foxes the Glenurquhart defence and then the

:38:58.:38:59.

pass and the finish was absolutely sublime. The finish was beautiful,

:39:00.:39:06.

playing it past McIntosh and then slipping it into the back of the

:39:07.:39:13.

net. That was beautiful. Well, Samuel Genini started as a member of

:39:14.:39:22.

the Kingussie team in 1990, picking up the cup. He could virtually fit

:39:23.:39:33.

his son inside the cup, if I remember rightly. How time flies.

:39:34.:39:40.

McGregor with a better hit. Tembo is under it. The Glenurquhart midfield

:39:41.:39:49.

has to get up, especially now they are behind. This is what they have

:39:50.:39:53.

to be careful about as they get sucked into defending too often.

:39:54.:40:01.

John Barr gets it away. He has a chance to fire it onwards. Not

:40:02.:40:10.

taking any chances. Gibson fires it on. Here is Ross. Barr is all over

:40:11.:40:16.

him like a rash. Ross again, turning onto the other side. Showing great

:40:17.:40:23.

skill. Of course he is equally strong on both sides. Incredibly

:40:24.:40:34.

strong. Glenurquhart this time. He is harrying and chasing. The ball

:40:35.:40:40.

has gone over for a corner. It is important, Gary, that the Glen gets

:40:41.:40:45.

back into this. It is, they do not want to be behind for two long. --

:40:46.:40:53.

too long. This will give them an opportunity to get on the scoresheet

:40:54.:40:58.

and level the game. There will be a chance from this corner from the far

:40:59.:41:02.

side. McDonald plays it into the middle. That was far too high for

:41:03.:41:12.

his team-mate. Munro at the front post. They are playing the high ball

:41:13.:41:14.

more often upfront rather than the lowball. Certainly the ball is going

:41:15.:41:21.

to run, try to get it further forward because the Kingussie

:41:22.:41:29.

defence are dealing with everything. Absolutely, this is rule one shinty

:41:30.:41:35.

as a defender. That is wasted. Lots are shaking heads. In the

:41:36.:41:43.

Glenurquhart area. Chance wasted. They really will not get that many

:41:44.:41:47.

chances. When they come, you have to make the most of them. Craig Dawson

:41:48.:41:54.

is taking his time. That was a beautiful strike. Up to

:41:55.:42:15.

halfway. That was a good challenge. It is beginning to get tough out

:42:16.:42:21.

there. Barrie Dallas just gets his head out of the way of that one.

:42:22.:42:30.

Dawson Shepherd is it behind. Dawson is trying to reorganise the

:42:31.:42:35.

midfield. He is feeling as though he has more work to do than he should

:42:36.:42:40.

have. That was a good ball. There was just nobody there. They came out

:42:41.:42:46.

wide, expecting it down the wing but it came inside. Unfortunately there

:42:47.:42:59.

has been nobody there to collect it. 26 minutes gone in this pulsate in

:43:00.:43:07.

Scottish Hydro Camanachd Cup vinyl. Both teams are trying to create

:43:08.:43:15.

their own bit of history. -- cup final. Collecting it from David

:43:16.:43:24.

Smart's initial chip. Lloyd is going to take this one for Glen. Dawson is

:43:25.:43:37.

doing his own bit of organisation. The Glenurquhart players cannot go

:43:38.:43:42.

into the circle around the goal before the ball. Otherwise they will

:43:43.:43:50.

be offside. They get it away. There is a spare man for Glenurquhart.

:43:51.:43:55.

That was well saved by Dawson, I think he gets his stick on it. I

:43:56.:44:00.

think that sound was the stick against the post but we will go back

:44:01.:44:05.

to that. The best effort from Glenurquhart so far. Kingussie now

:44:06.:44:16.

are under some pressure. The defender gets it away, goodness me,

:44:17.:44:29.

he runs like his father, same style. He has made his mark in the midfield

:44:30.:44:35.

since coming on. Well, that is just a bit of panic. This man kept

:44:36.:44:42.

Kingussie in it. Let's see if it was the crossbar or his stick. It was a

:44:43.:44:47.

great ball in. I think that is the crossbar. It is the bar. It has

:44:48.:44:54.

beaten Dawson. It was lucky it did not going off his stick. Well, he

:44:55.:45:02.

had the line. Give him his due. That is off the bar, we reckon. That is

:45:03.:45:09.

the closest chance yet. Modern technology proving our point. Wow.

:45:10.:45:16.

CHUCKLES That might be worth a lot if we

:45:17.:45:20.

could have a look at that one again. Again, making his mark. The ball

:45:21.:45:26.

landed and he realised it was in his way. Well, it is hot and hard and

:45:27.:45:35.

very tough out there. That will be an issue for the players as they go

:45:36.:45:40.

along. As we come into the 30th minute. That is a monstrous hit. It

:45:41.:45:47.

works kindly for the Glen but again it is going high. Let's go back down

:45:48.:45:56.

to the touchline where Jonathan is with the Kingussie Benj. -- Benj.

:45:57.:46:06.

You must be pleased to be ahead? We are playing quite nicely. And we got

:46:07.:46:12.

the goal. You have to expect that they will have dominant periods in

:46:13.:46:16.

the game. How important is the first goal? It is important, obviously,

:46:17.:46:22.

but there is still a long way to go. Thanks very much. Bain. This is a

:46:23.:46:31.

good ball into the area but it goes too far, too fast. That was a

:46:32.:46:38.

chance? I would not say that was too fast, he should not have let that

:46:39.:46:41.

get away from him, he was seeing his name in lights and it comes to value

:46:42.:46:46.

through and his first touch lets him down, on my Genini at the other end,

:46:47.:46:50.

and that has been the difference. -- unlike him. I am not so sure. I

:46:51.:46:56.

think the pace has just beat him. Well, I don't think so! Ross. He is

:46:57.:47:06.

on the move. Well, I think the flag is up and he was taken out, there

:47:07.:47:10.

was an attempt to take him out the first time and then the second time,

:47:11.:47:18.

the assistant referee is John Angus from Skye who is a referee himself.

:47:19.:47:29.

There is a final warning for Lewis MacLennan. Next time you're going to

:47:30.:47:38.

get booked, OK? That is quite clear. Next time and he will be booked.

:47:39.:47:46.

This is why, there. Yes. Oh, what a chance. I thought Ronald Ross would

:47:47.:47:53.

have taken that shot earlier, he went one step too much. The swing

:47:54.:48:00.

more than anything was the problem there. That is what happens when you

:48:01.:48:07.

are 39. The mind and the spirit may not be quite in sync. 23 years

:48:08.:48:13.

incredibly since Ronald Ross played in his first Camanachd Cup vinyl.

:48:14.:48:19.

This is his 16th appearance in the final having won 11 and lost four.

:48:20.:48:27.

Quite incredible. -- final. 17 years ago. He has won man of the match

:48:28.:48:31.

three times and very few people have done that. It is the record, three.

:48:32.:48:42.

Do you think McInnis might have it? We have had this discussion a number

:48:43.:48:47.

of times over Shandy! You had to get that in. That is a good ball, nice

:48:48.:48:51.

flick, but there was plenty of time for Dawson to take a look and he

:48:52.:48:59.

lets it run. That was always going to be an issue and we knew that in

:49:00.:49:04.

terms of the defence, the likes of John Barr and McLennan, they do not

:49:05.:49:09.

stand on ceremony but eventually the referee has to draw the line with

:49:10.:49:12.

persistent fouling. It is not about the seriousness but the position. It

:49:13.:49:17.

is the Camanachd Cup, they are trying to give everything. They will

:49:18.:49:21.

do everything to try to stop him scoring or anyone else in the

:49:22.:49:27.

forward line. He has now been picked up for persistent fouling, so they

:49:28.:49:35.

will now have to be careful. Tembo again. He makes it his business to

:49:36.:49:42.

get it but the referee, Mitchell, is on his case. Just taking a quick

:49:43.:49:54.

check on the Albert Smith Medals. He does not have three, only 2. Thank

:49:55.:50:01.

you! Gary is one up at the moment CHUCKLES

:50:02.:50:06.

Glenurquhart, then. Plenty of movement but too much movement. They

:50:07.:50:11.

have dealt with that and dispatched it to the other end. John Barr has

:50:12.:50:20.

to make this count. His defensive colleague gets it away. That is an

:50:21.:50:25.

asking one. He has caught that in the face. -- nasty. He takes the

:50:26.:50:34.

stick down on David Smart, it was completely accidental, you have to

:50:35.:50:38.

say that, his eyes are on the ball. That is a big swing. He gets his

:50:39.:50:43.

block in. Look where his eyes are at the time. All eyes are on the ball.

:50:44.:50:52.

He comes up and unfortunately catches Smart in the face. But he

:50:53.:50:57.

gets up and he is fine. Smart this time, it ricochets. He has had a

:50:58.:51:04.

really solid game for Kingussie. Down the middle. Read fully packed

:51:05.:51:11.

in there. Glenurquhart need to open up the game, I feel. Dawson makes a

:51:12.:51:16.

good save. That is a good save around his feet. Then it is a way.

:51:17.:51:27.

Playing it into Tembo. That is good play. Glenurquhart are beginning to

:51:28.:51:30.

string passes together. That is a silly foul. He plays for it again.

:51:31.:51:37.

It is clever play. He did. That is good linkup play by Glenurquhart. I

:51:38.:51:45.

am not so sure. He comes in, it is his first touch. He does not need to

:51:46.:51:53.

take anything else from that. Mitchell is having a word. Eddie

:51:54.:52:00.

Tembo, nipping the era of the referee. He is entitled to have a

:52:01.:52:03.

word because he is the captain after all. It can also be

:52:04.:52:10.

counter-productive, though. This is good, this is good. Again, that man,

:52:11.:52:19.

Lee Bain, picking up the loose ball. Here is Ross. Look at the weight on

:52:20.:52:28.

the ball. Playing it into Genini. That is twice. Genini gets it in and

:52:29.:52:35.

Stuart McIntosh has to get involved. That is a good clearance. Guess who

:52:36.:52:40.

it was? Ross. It is often forgotten that Ronald Ross is much more than a

:52:41.:52:46.

goal-scorer, the deft touches are unbelievable, when he picks out a

:52:47.:52:50.

pass like that, the vision and the touch are incredible. He is arguably

:52:51.:52:58.

shinty's greatest ever player. Look at the physique and the skill and

:52:59.:53:03.

everything that he has. Over 1000 goals, but he still delivers balls

:53:04.:53:06.

like that so it is not just about the scoring for him. Well, again,

:53:07.:53:14.

that was a wasted opportunity. The little bit of chat from Lewis

:53:15.:53:27.

Munro, and the supporters, there. Quite a lot of supporters down the

:53:28.:53:32.

back line as well. I think this is one of the biggest crowds I have

:53:33.:53:39.

ever seen at a Camanachd Cup final. And no wonder on a day like this.

:53:40.:53:44.

McIntosh is on the case. It goes too far. Genini. A little bit of a touch

:53:45.:53:58.

too much in front of his manager. This is the man who has been hitting

:53:59.:54:10.

the shies extremely well today. Beautiful rhythm to get his swing,

:54:11.:54:21.

bang on. This is good skill. It has made his team-mate run wide. With

:54:22.:54:28.

the yellow boots. WHISTLE Oh, that is a hefty challenge from

:54:29.:54:35.

Lee Bain. I have seen a lot more cynical, and now Glenurquhart at

:54:36.:54:43.

creating more chances now. -- they are. Not really, they have sold him

:54:44.:54:47.

a dummy and he comes out against the shoulder. Seven minutes of the first

:54:48.:54:55.

half remaining in this increasingly tench Camanachd Cup final. They have

:54:56.:55:05.

to be five metres away from him. Dawson saves it! Well, that is twice

:55:06.:55:11.

now that they have needed him to save, they have given themselves the

:55:12.:55:17.

chance to take the save away from him. That is great, solid

:55:18.:55:23.

goalkeeping once again. Good anticipation from Dawson. He is

:55:24.:55:30.

merely a way, Genini. Getting it away. -- nearly await. Look at the

:55:31.:55:39.

way he takes it down. He gets away this time. And he has completed it!

:55:40.:55:49.

He has gone the whole way. Well, was there any doubt? One on one. Ronald

:55:50.:55:59.

Ross. 20 plus years. And he has done it again. This is beautiful. One,

:56:00.:56:04.

two touches. And it is one-on-one, him and John Barr. Well, if you go

:56:05.:56:11.

back to the very start of the move, he adjusts his stick in both hands.

:56:12.:56:19.

Unbelievable. Absolutely fantastic. It is 2-0 Kingussie. All of a

:56:20.:56:28.

sudden, this has become a massive mountain to climb for Glenurquhart.

:56:29.:56:34.

Five minutes left in this first half. Where does this leave

:56:35.:56:47.

Glenurquhart? I think the difference also is that we have 2 goals from

:56:48.:56:51.

Kingussie, and I do not think we have had a save, he has only maybe

:56:52.:56:56.

had to make one save and yet at the other end they have had a couple of

:56:57.:56:59.

saves so far and good chances for Glenurquhart. We always knew that

:57:00.:57:04.

the Goalkeepers would be key in the match. They often are in Camanachd

:57:05.:57:12.

Cup finals. This time Dawson has secured Kingussie's position in this

:57:13.:57:23.

magnificent match. Stuart McIntosh has got the best out of Ross and

:57:24.:57:28.

Genini early on. 17 minutes between the goals. An awful lot of

:57:29.:57:36.

possession. This will annoy them. They will have to try to sort this

:57:37.:57:41.

out at half-time. Here is Ross again. Twisting and turning. Then he

:57:42.:57:46.

turns completely the other way. He sets Genini are off down the left

:57:47.:57:52.

judge line. He is way over on the far side. We have our backs to the

:57:53.:58:04.

river. We are bathed in glorious sunshine.

:58:05.:58:14.

Well, he does not lose any of his appetite for the game! He certainly

:58:15.:58:22.

doesn't. And he was absolutely right. David Mitchell I think was

:58:23.:58:30.

having a look to make sure that Davie Anderson was happy with where

:58:31.:58:35.

the ball was sitting! It was only about five yards but he was making

:58:36.:58:40.

the point. He himself is a legend. The son of a legend. Here is another

:58:41.:58:49.

one. He is on his way. Thomas Borthwick. That is a great save!

:58:50.:58:55.

Great save. Here is Kingussie again, though. These are critical

:58:56.:59:01.

moments. Critical moments. WHISTLE Now, I think there could be trouble

:59:02.:59:05.

here for Lewis MacLennan. Lewis MacLennan is in trouble here and I

:59:06.:59:09.

think it will be no more than a yellow card, but the referee has had

:59:10.:59:15.

enough, Gary. Yes, going back to this earlier incident, Borthwick

:59:16.:59:20.

runs down, he knows where the goal is and he lets it go. What is saved

:59:21.:59:24.

by the goalkeeper. Look at that. Had that gunning it would have been very

:59:25.:59:28.

difficult for them to get their hands on the Camanachd Cup. Yes.

:59:29.:59:38.

Lewis MacLennan. Well, he has been warned a few times today. And again.

:59:39.:59:46.

Well, they have twice done that, they have a tendency to go to sleep

:59:47.:59:51.

at the free hit. We saw it before with the goal for Genini. That time

:59:52.:59:55.

they went wide and McIntosh got a chance to clear. They know they need

:59:56.:00:00.

to settle down and get on the scoresheet soon because there is

:00:01.:00:02.

definitely more goals in Kingussie this afternoon. Well, it has been

:00:03.:00:09.

breathless in its own way. It has not been a classic. It has had its

:00:10.:00:14.

moments and the wind has picked up all of a sudden. You can see it in

:00:15.:00:19.

the players shirts. Yes, certainly looking at the flag it is from right

:00:20.:00:27.

to left. That will favour Kingussie in the second half. It is said it is

:00:28.:00:36.

easier to play against the wind. That was a good ball towards Genini.

:00:37.:00:51.

He gets away. That is a clever nudge. The Glenurquhart defenders

:00:52.:00:56.

are furious that Genini was not pulled back for that clever little

:00:57.:01:00.

nudge. He is a clever man as well, Genini. He must have got into the

:01:01.:01:05.

right position, there or the referee has got it right on that one.

:01:06.:01:12.

Genini fires it across, a bit loose but still there for Kingussie. This

:01:13.:01:20.

is the final minute of the first half of regulation time. Though

:01:21.:01:23.

maybe some added time. Certainly Kingussie will be the happier,

:01:24.:01:28.

because it is 2-0. But they've converted their chances, the

:01:29.:01:32.

difference. They have and they have looked sharper, Glenurquhart have

:01:33.:01:37.

had their chances to be 2-2 or even leading the game but good defending

:01:38.:01:41.

and good goalkeeping has kept a clean sheet so far for Kingussie.

:01:42.:01:45.

There is going to be just this minute of the added time. Just the

:01:46.:01:56.

one minute. And then we will call it a day for ten minutes, or

:01:57.:02:02.

thereabouts, and see if the chocolate biscuits are any better

:02:03.:02:08.

than they were 45 minutes ago. Gibson has set one off again to

:02:09.:02:16.

Ross. Lovely touch. Good clearance by Euan Lloyd who has stuck at it.

:02:17.:02:21.

He's been by far the busier of the wingbacks. Extravagant touch from

:02:22.:02:31.

Munro. Gibson. Solid. Borthwick has taken one in the nose there. Thomas

:02:32.:02:39.

Borthwick going down. I think Ali Mac caught him in the face. They

:02:40.:02:46.

were both going for the same ball. Because it is a head knock the

:02:47.:02:55.

referee quite rightly just getting the Kingussie trainer to come on.

:02:56.:03:01.

But they have been told it is half-time virtually. Thomas

:03:02.:03:08.

Borthwick, the son of David Borthwick, more Camanachd Cup medals

:03:09.:03:13.

than you can shake a stick at, 14, even more than Ronald Ross, would

:03:14.:03:20.

you believe. Gibson, the last play perhaps. David Mitchell lets it go.

:03:21.:03:27.

I think Stuart MacKintosh will probably be allowed to get the ball

:03:28.:03:29.

back into play. Great save. That was the highlight

:03:30.:03:44.

of the game in defence of terms. David Mitchell has indeed called it

:03:45.:03:50.

a day for the first 45 minutes. Genini with the first goal on 22

:03:51.:03:59.

minutes has made his mark. Certainly with his elder statesman colleague

:04:00.:04:05.

Ronald Ross he will be happy with his performance. Dawson has had a

:04:06.:04:11.

good game in goal with Hutchison at the back. There is a lot to be done.

:04:12.:04:15.

There is a lot to be played for, because what we have had is two

:04:16.:04:21.

goals, both to Kaan Ayhan -- Kingussie. At half-time Kingussie

:04:22.:04:29.

2-0 Glenurquhart. It is starting to get a bit chilly at Bught Park. And

:04:30.:04:37.

it will be a bit chilly in the Glenurquhart changing room. I'm

:04:38.:04:45.

joined again by Fraser. They have played better shinty and outclassed

:04:46.:04:50.

Glenurquhart. Glenurquhart had to get their tactics right as we

:04:51.:04:53.

mentioned and unfortunately they haven't and they are getting

:04:54.:04:56.

overwhelmed slightly so they have to make some big changes in the second

:04:57.:05:00.

half to get back into this game. Early signs Kingussie might be the

:05:01.:05:04.

team on top, Savio Genini leading from the front and he went close

:05:05.:05:09.

early on. This demonstrates Savio Genini's movement. The free hit

:05:10.:05:13.

played in by Fraser Munro, Genini running across and he hit it well,

:05:14.:05:17.

running across the goal as you should, just past the post, that was

:05:18.:05:22.

a warning from Glenurquhart that he has good movement and he's quick and

:05:23.:05:26.

you have to keep an eye on it. Later on with the goal it was crucial with

:05:27.:05:31.

his movement and Ronald's pass. We talked about Ronald Ross before

:05:32.:05:36.

because we have two because he is critical. Ronald is class, no doubt

:05:37.:05:43.

about it. He came deep for the ball, here is Ronald with the ball, John

:05:44.:05:47.

Barr was a bit too far away from him and Ronald spotted the run by

:05:48.:05:53.

Genini. For a boy of that age it is tremendous composure. It was great

:05:54.:05:58.

skill the way he finishes it off Mac. He looked up and saw the pass

:05:59.:06:03.

and Genini with his first touch and then the second touch is a goal,

:06:04.:06:06.

that is class and not everyone can do that and for somebody of his age

:06:07.:06:11.

to do that in the final it says a lot about him. Savio Genini has

:06:12.:06:15.

scored in every single round of the Camanachd Cup this season so that is

:06:16.:06:19.

an achievement in itself. Kingussie on top at the moment. Glenurquhart

:06:20.:06:24.

having to react. They came as close as they have come in the first

:06:25.:06:29.

half. Aaron picked up the ball and he played in a lovely pass. Craig

:06:30.:06:34.

Dawson was worried at this point and it came back off the bar and

:06:35.:06:38.

Kingussie managed to get it clear. There is the ball dipping in,

:06:39.:06:43.

difficult for the goalkeeper to deal with, off the crossbar and luckily

:06:44.:06:47.

it didn't come back off his stick and go in. He started to back off

:06:48.:06:53.

onto the post and thought it could bounce back in. It would have been

:06:54.:06:56.

great if they could have got a goal because they would have got a

:06:57.:07:00.

foothold in the game. Glenurquhart's goals from the

:07:01.:07:03.

midfield have been poor, they are lumping the ball forward and I don't

:07:04.:07:06.

like their attitude, standing with their hands on their hips as if to

:07:07.:07:10.

say you have to give us better ball, this is the cup final, you have to

:07:11.:07:16.

make a bad ball into a good ball. That man once again, Ronald Ross,

:07:17.:07:21.

very much to the fore. This was a good move from Kingussie. The ball

:07:22.:07:25.

went wide, fed through and first touch out to Ronald and this a bit

:07:26.:07:29.

ISAs Ronald Ross's strength, power and determination, and when it comes

:07:30.:07:33.

to the finish, he finishes it. That goal is a tremendous finish. He

:07:34.:07:39.

brushes past John Barr and carries on running, this man is 39 and then

:07:40.:07:43.

he has the composure to find the finish. We were talking before the

:07:44.:07:47.

game whether Ronald would make the difference. So far he provided the

:07:48.:07:51.

crucial pass for Genini's goal and now he has the second goal. Plenty

:07:52.:07:55.

of life left in Ronald Ross. Thank you for joining us. A short time

:07:56.:08:00.

before the Camanachd Cup Finals took place this afternoon we went to see

:08:01.:08:05.

the McMaster 's cup final, the under 14 competition. This year it was

:08:06.:08:14.

between Skye and Oban. COMMENTATOR: It was a repeat of last year's under

:08:15.:08:21.

14 championship, a great privilege for them to play at Bught Park to

:08:22.:08:27.

play before the first match. It was important to get the first goal and

:08:28.:08:36.

that fell to Oban Camanachd's main striker due to some poor Skye

:08:37.:08:40.

defending. He was to be the main man for Oban as they went further ahead

:08:41.:08:48.

and took control of midfield and became the stronger and much more

:08:49.:08:51.

creative of the two teams. The second goal came very convincingly

:08:52.:09:04.

from the caman of the same player. They got back in it, Skye, and

:09:05.:09:12.

probably the best goal of the game, Rory McLeod flashed the ball home to

:09:13.:09:18.

give Skye some hope that 2-1. It wasn't enough, though, and Oban

:09:19.:09:22.

increasingly dominated midfield and again began to create the chances.

:09:23.:09:29.

The final word from pats Maclean who lashed a tremendous shot home. It

:09:30.:09:35.

made it 3-1 and gave Oban the championship again, and the captain

:09:36.:09:38.

Craig Kirkpatrick will take the trophy home. Congratulations to

:09:39.:09:47.

them. It's been a huge weekend of shinty in Inverness. A real

:09:48.:09:50.

celebration of the sport and last night was the big night out, part of

:09:51.:09:55.

the festival, and a celebration of Gaelic culture and its starred Hugh

:09:56.:09:59.

Dan MacLennan and Gary Ennis, and Stuart MacKintosh who is playing

:10:00.:10:04.

today for Glenurquhart. And some great music was on show. Let's

:10:05.:10:07.

listen to it. GAELIC MUSIC.

:10:08.:10:40.

How was the night, a few sore heads this morning? I've been better.

:10:41.:10:46.

Stuart MacKintosh was not drinking last night, he went straight home to

:10:47.:10:50.

his bed, as we saw from some of the cracking saves he made already

:10:51.:10:55.

today, thankfully for him. How would you assess the first half? Is there

:10:56.:11:00.

any way back for Glenurquhart in this match? Yes I do. At two - zero

:11:01.:11:05.

there is a chance for Glenurquhart and they have created some chances.

:11:06.:11:08.

Craig Dawson has made a couple of good saves, the crossbar came to his

:11:09.:11:13.

rescue as well. Glenurquhart are not out of this competition but if the

:11:14.:11:18.

ball continues to land at Genini and Ronald Ross and they put the ball on

:11:19.:11:22.

top of Macintosh in the goal as they have done they will struggle to get

:11:23.:11:25.

back into the game. A further goal from Kingussie will put their name

:11:26.:11:30.

on the trophy this year. Thank you for joining us. More from Gary in

:11:31.:11:33.

the second half and there is more shinty coming up on BBC Two shortly

:11:34.:11:39.

next month, October 18, the date to put in your diary for the next

:11:40.:11:43.

shinty action, the shinty hurling international between Scotland and

:11:44.:11:50.

Ireland on October 18, BBC Two Scotland, so do join us for that. It

:11:51.:11:54.

should be fantastic. But today is all about the Camanachd Cup Finals.

:11:55.:12:00.

Fraser, I mentioned to Gary that it is a long way back for Glenurquhart

:12:01.:12:04.

in this match. They play a different type of style of shinty. How would

:12:05.:12:09.

you describe it? It's a more physical and long hitting game but

:12:10.:12:12.

unfortunately today they have not played the ball well and not played

:12:13.:12:16.

it into the right areas and the forwards haven't made an impact so

:12:17.:12:20.

far but they have got positional changes and a couple of guys that

:12:21.:12:24.

are versatile. I would put Fraser Heath into the centre for his

:12:25.:12:27.

ability and movement and Lewis Maclennan at full-back and John Barr

:12:28.:12:32.

at halfback, I think that would work better. Obviously the management

:12:33.:12:36.

knows them better than I do but they have to do something to get a

:12:37.:12:39.

foothold in the game. It was a superb save at the end of the first

:12:40.:12:43.

half from Stuart MacKintosh. Let's have another look at it. It was one

:12:44.:12:47.

of those stunning moments where you have to admire the goalkeeper 's

:12:48.:12:52.

inner shinty for their skill. That was Borthwick pushing forward,

:12:53.:12:57.

Thomas was about to hit the ball and it was difficult for Stuart

:12:58.:12:59.

MacKintosh because it was across him, not just the angle to deal with

:13:00.:13:03.

but the pace of the ball and he picked it out with his stick and if

:13:04.:13:07.

that had gone in the game may have been over. It is not just their

:13:08.:13:11.

skill, it is their bravery. Most people watching think it must be the

:13:12.:13:14.

toughest job on the pitch because the ball is flying at you at such a

:13:15.:13:19.

rate of knots. It is the most thankless job because one mistake

:13:20.:13:23.

everybody blames you. Thomas hit that from quite a distance but

:13:24.:13:26.

people could hit these shots from inside the circle, five or six yards

:13:27.:13:30.

away, but it has been good so far and we have not had too many

:13:31.:13:34.

goalkeepers suffering injuries for the other reason, probably because

:13:35.:13:38.

they have these skills. They are brought up saving these shots and

:13:39.:13:42.

they use the stick and get their hands and eyes out of the way. Very

:13:43.:13:46.

briefly, Fraser, what's the prediction? They have one hand on it

:13:47.:13:51.

and whoever gets the next goal could be vital. If Glenurquhart get it

:13:52.:13:54.

they could get back into the game but if Kingussie get it it could be

:13:55.:14:00.

their cup. It will be an interesting second half. Let's go back to the

:14:01.:14:03.

commentary team of Gary Ennis and Hugh Dan MacLennan. COMMENTATOR:

:14:04.:14:09.

Thank you very much. Changed circumstances at Bught Park. Very

:14:10.:14:23.

spooky looking man on the other side and the sun is breaking across the

:14:24.:14:31.

park. There is the setting. That is quite spooky looking. Back to

:14:32.:14:37.

business, we have Glenurquhart and Kingussie who are comfortable at

:14:38.:14:41.

this stage two goals to the good. David Mitchell, the referee, his

:14:42.:14:47.

patience has been tested at various points and we have a crowd in good

:14:48.:14:52.

order who have enjoyed the house but our teeth in the last ten minutes.

:14:53.:14:56.

The captain, Eddie Tembo, no doubt will have had stern words in the

:14:57.:15:00.

Glenurquhart dressing room. Two are right we have the Kingussie

:15:01.:15:09.

defence and to the left the Glenurquhart defence will stop

:15:10.:15:11.

Glenurquhart hitting towards the town. David Mitchell gets the second

:15:12.:15:19.

half under way. If there is any way back for the blend I think they need

:15:20.:15:31.

to score next. John Barr. That is an easy ball for Kingussie to deal

:15:32.:15:40.

with. We have a substitution for when a cart. That is another foul --

:15:41.:15:49.

Glenurquhart. Deep in the heart of the defence. David Mitchell just

:15:50.:15:59.

checking to see Genini who has gone down, he has a knock on his leg, I

:16:00.:16:11.

think. Can you see a player down. He may need a bit of assistance this

:16:12.:16:19.

time. I think James MacPherson, sorry David MacLennan has come on

:16:20.:16:24.

for Glenurquhart at number eight. We will just confirmed the details of

:16:25.:16:34.

that. James MacPherson has been taken off. Does that surprise you?

:16:35.:16:39.

James MacPherson has not managed to get into the game. It passed him by

:16:40.:16:44.

unfortunately. He is a top goal-scorer. We may see them get

:16:45.:16:53.

back into the game. James had a couple of chances that he has not

:16:54.:16:56.

converted or done as well as he usually does. This is the first

:16:57.:17:06.

chance of the second half. Kingussie will have worked on this on the

:17:07.:17:11.

training ground no doubt. Lots of running, Ross, MacKintosh with a

:17:12.:17:19.

good save. That was off the boot because they all ran in the same

:17:20.:17:25.

direction and it came to Ross. Ross brings it down beautifully.

:17:26.:17:29.

Beautiful take. He is trying to open them up, turns him twice, Barr, and

:17:30.:17:36.

Barr cannot see where it has gone. That was a good effort as well.

:17:37.:17:41.

Fraser Munro this time on the backhand. Good save from MacKintosh.

:17:42.:17:46.

Very good, the ball came in low, he saw it late and kept it low and his

:17:47.:17:52.

defence did a good job to get it away. There is a clear chill in the

:17:53.:18:00.

air, let me tell you. Although it is a beautiful day. The climate has

:18:01.:18:10.

changed dramatically. Maybe to the relief of the players, I suspect.

:18:11.:18:17.

Ross in one-on-one combat with John Barr. He's not happy, looking for

:18:18.:18:23.

the protection of the referee, Ronald Ross, asking David Mitchell

:18:24.:18:27.

to take this further. He's having a word with John Barr. John is asking

:18:28.:18:37.

what the problem is. You can see he is hanging on to him as well. To be

:18:38.:18:43.

fair Ronald Ross cleverly... Good save! Another good save from Stuart

:18:44.:18:47.

MacKintosh, this time it was Borthwick. Clever play. I think it

:18:48.:18:54.

was possibly going wide but he had to look lively. He had to make sure

:18:55.:19:01.

he is earning his crust in the early part of the second period. That is

:19:02.:19:13.

rattled out again. The subs quite understandably, I would say, keeping

:19:14.:19:18.

themselves warm now that it is cooler. It a B doesn't look as bad

:19:19.:19:26.

as it actually is because of the camera work but we can feel it from

:19:27.:19:30.

the commentary position, I can tell you. -- it may be doesn't look as

:19:31.:19:38.

bad. Ross against Barr. Bar needs to be careful. They are threatening to

:19:39.:19:46.

cut loose. They certainly are and they have started stronger in the

:19:47.:19:51.

second half. Ronald Ross just holds it and he knows that Barr will come

:19:52.:19:55.

into the back of him and he just flicked it out, first time over the

:19:56.:19:59.

crossbar. John Barr needs to be careful but he has to do his job and

:20:00.:20:03.

Shepherd Ross and he cannot give him a sniff of a chance. He has a tricky

:20:04.:20:10.

position for himself. Gibson, exactly what you need in the middle

:20:11.:20:16.

of the field at the moment. He has lost his stick. The Kingussie

:20:17.:20:30.

attack, Genini away again. Like a bunch of these in one little

:20:31.:20:42.

package. -- Bees. Sweeping right-to-left now so that will

:20:43.:20:44.

favour Kingussie in terms of delivering the ball. It is almost

:20:45.:20:52.

like there is a fire but trust me it isn't. I would say that is a close

:20:53.:20:59.

call but Genini might have stepped inside the box and it might even

:21:00.:21:04.

have been Ronald Ross. They would claim their timing is impeccable.

:21:05.:21:09.

That is the difference we are seeing, Kingussie are keeping the

:21:10.:21:13.

ball low from the corners whereas Glenurquhart are trying to put the

:21:14.:21:18.

high ball in. That's the point you made in the first half.

:21:19.:21:31.

Lee Bain looking lively. He is beaten this time, he is beaten all

:21:32.:21:41.

ends up and Glenurquhart have a chance to take their time to take

:21:42.:21:46.

the short ball along the ground this time. They had to leave it. But it

:21:47.:21:51.

is blocked and there is a chance for the shot. It is on the goal and

:21:52.:21:56.

Dawson deals with it. Goodness me! How on earth did that stay out?

:21:57.:22:00.

Lewis Maclennan has been thrown into the forward line and that's the man

:22:01.:22:05.

it felt to. He did nothing wrong, the shot was on target and Dawson

:22:06.:22:10.

did as much as he could. It is coming in low, he goes to deal with

:22:11.:22:15.

it and he actually hit it off his foot. It should be a corner. I think

:22:16.:22:21.

it was saved by Dawson, or certainly at least deflection. They got away

:22:22.:22:30.

with that. Clever play by Eddie Tembo. Lets go down to the touchline

:22:31.:22:37.

where Jonathan is being joined by Glenurquhart comanager Billy

:22:38.:22:41.

MacLean. Glenurquhart with it all to do, what was your message to the

:22:42.:22:46.

players at half-time? We've created a lot of good chances we haven't

:22:47.:22:49.

created and on a normal day we would have taken those chances. I would

:22:50.:22:54.

have expected James to put them away having been our top scorer. I

:22:55.:22:58.

changed a couple of things at half-time and told them to keep

:22:59.:23:02.

doing what they are doing. Kingussie only had three or four chances that

:23:03.:23:07.

were clear-cut and scored two goals. We lost Andrew Corrigan from

:23:08.:23:11.

halfback which is a big loss. But our deputy in Ali MacKintosh is in

:23:12.:23:15.

there. Just keep it going, it is the Camanachd Cup, it is only half-time

:23:16.:23:20.

and we have 45 minutes to come back. There is a long way as Billy MacLean

:23:21.:23:25.

says but the longer it goes without Glenurquhart scoring the more

:23:26.:23:32.

difficult it becomes. Dawson fires it long, extremely long and wind

:23:33.:23:40.

assisted this time of course. He has made the most of it. 20, 30 yards

:23:41.:23:50.

past halfway. Good play. Kingussie swiftly upping the pace. It is

:23:51.:23:58.

Genini in the corner. Oh! Straight in and out, a 1-2, Genini. It is all

:23:59.:24:10.

in there somewhere. Genini played a 1-2 with himself. You always hope

:24:11.:24:18.

for a bit of luck in a Camanachd Cup Finals. I think the ball came off

:24:19.:24:23.

his face and landed perfectly at his feet. He was quite unlucky as well

:24:24.:24:29.

as he made his way towards the goal. There was a bit of a skirmish which

:24:30.:24:36.

David Mitchell is sorting out a bit of afters and the end result is a

:24:37.:24:44.

corner. The coolest man on the park, Mr MacKintosh. Genini with another

:24:45.:24:54.

chance. As time goes on Kingussie can take their time. There is not a

:24:55.:25:02.

lot the keeper can do about it. Magnificent setting the Bught Park

:25:03.:25:14.

is on a day like this. Let's see if this one goes in on the ground or

:25:15.:25:20.

upwards. In between. And a little bit of afters there. Barr went

:25:21.:25:24.

spinning after the tackle with Ronald Ross. Tembo just missed that

:25:25.:25:30.

one. Gibson thought about exchanging views. Tembo just mistimed it. The

:25:31.:25:42.

referee acknowledges that. Here we go. Ross again. Barr holding him

:25:43.:25:50.

with his stick. Ross needs to be careful. Just an element of

:25:51.:25:57.

frustration creeping into the game. He's not happy with the treatment he

:25:58.:26:05.

is getting. REFEREE: Next time you are in the book. He has asked

:26:06.:26:08.

Mitchell couple of times. John Barr, though, has to do his job and

:26:09.:26:13.

that's the only way to stifle him. It's just he seems to be holding

:26:14.:26:18.

him. I think Ronald was cleverly holding onto Barr's stick and it's a

:26:19.:26:22.

good point and a question of who does what first. Here we go again.

:26:23.:26:34.

They are zipping around. Oh! My goodness it is beginning to get a

:26:35.:26:38.

bit scary out there. There is a flag at the far end to our left. The

:26:39.:26:43.

referee has passed it up though. He doesn't have to go to it, he can

:26:44.:26:47.

choose to ignore it. That is what he has done because the Glen have set

:26:48.:26:53.

off to the top of the field. There is the suggestion that there was a

:26:54.:26:56.

little bit of afters creeping into some of the tackles. The referee

:26:57.:27:05.

David Mitchell coming under a bit of pressure here. It is a critical

:27:06.:27:09.

point in the game as we approach the one-hour mark. The refereeing is

:27:10.:27:13.

critical in terms of keeping balance in the game. He has to be careful

:27:14.:27:18.

not to let this boil over. He's trying to be as fair as possible but

:27:19.:27:23.

he must have to take a harder stance on some of these afters we are

:27:24.:27:30.

seeing off-camera. That has just gone out, I think. Kingussie players

:27:31.:27:45.

are taking water below us here. That is Michael Clarke dispensing.

:27:46.:27:56.

Standing over a heap of shinty sticks ready to replace any but I

:27:57.:28:01.

don't think we have ever seen any broken ones in the game proper. They

:28:02.:28:07.

will be knocking lumps out of each other for the rest of the afternoon,

:28:08.:28:13.

I think. Good ball at the minute -- up the middle and Lee Bain was on it

:28:14.:28:19.

but the defender was on it. That is a good defensive three with

:28:20.:28:21.

Hutchison in the middle, Barrie Dallas on the right and Lee Bain on

:28:22.:28:27.

the left, a very solid unit. Very solid and Glenurquhart are having to

:28:28.:28:30.

come deeper to fetch the ball and when they fetch it and put it up

:28:31.:28:34.

front there is nobody there to collect. The only way they will get

:28:35.:28:40.

the ball in is to get it over into the gap. Yes it is. And feed the

:28:41.:28:47.

bear style, let Lewis Maclennan have a one-on-one with Hutchison. Here he

:28:48.:28:50.

is, let's see if he makes anything of it but he doesn't as Hutchison

:28:51.:28:56.

hits it out. Hutchison will knock them away all day. He's only there

:28:57.:29:01.

to hit the ball-30 yards away from the goal and that will do him. More

:29:02.:29:09.

water being taken. -- to hit the ball 20-30 yards. There is that

:29:10.:29:14.

rhythm, it's obviously the system he has got which enables him to get

:29:15.:29:18.

that all that distance. This is a testing ball now. Barrie Dallas was

:29:19.:29:25.

the bravest. There are sticks and bodies flying everywhere now. Tembo

:29:26.:29:32.

gets it out into the space. Unfortunately for the Glen they are

:29:33.:29:37.

going to have to work harder to create the chances. Through to

:29:38.:29:42.

McLennan again. One handed a way but it's not far enough. That is through

:29:43.:29:46.

but Barrie Dallas covered Hutchison they're very cleverly. And again the

:29:47.:29:53.

Glen manoeuvring the ball away. Good play, though. They are giving their

:29:54.:30:00.

defence a bit of a break. But I don't think we have seen a shot on

:30:01.:30:05.

Craig Dawson in the second half. It was an interesting point that Fraser

:30:06.:30:13.

Inglis made. A lot of them are turning on the referee and you might

:30:14.:30:19.

think they would direct that into a bit more pace and directness at

:30:20.:30:24.

goal. I will correct myself and look at the previous click when Craig

:30:25.:30:27.

Dawson actually saved it with his foot from McLennan to get one back

:30:28.:30:33.

early on. Apart from that there has not been a lot to worry the

:30:34.:30:38.

Kingussie defence. Hutchison and Bain are lapping it up back there.

:30:39.:30:47.

Gibson with a wild slash. Well, not wild, it was fearless. I think he

:30:48.:30:52.

may have taken one on the chin there. The end of Hutchison's swing

:30:53.:31:00.

caught him. If that had been a ?300,000 per week footballer he

:31:01.:31:03.

would have been rolling around all over the place. Good ball again. It

:31:04.:31:08.

is in the danger area but again Kingussie step in, no messing.

:31:09.:31:16.

That is good play in midfield by Rory McGregor just there. He has not

:31:17.:31:23.

been the most noticeable of the Kingussie players but he did the

:31:24.:31:26.

right thing there, holding onto the ball. Using the traditional

:31:27.:31:33.

Kingussie socks, there, their special uniform to the day. Lovely

:31:34.:31:42.

touches at times. He knew what he was doing, it was trailing leg.

:31:43.:31:48.

Catching McGregor as he going down. It does not seem so clear-cut

:31:49.:31:52.

because he seems to have done something which requires attention.

:31:53.:31:57.

He is still limping a bit. We might see a substitute coming on in a

:31:58.:31:59.

moment or two. You are asleep after last night,

:32:00.:32:18.

aren't you? I am wondering which big substitutes they can bring on.

:32:19.:32:24.

Anderson or somebody. That's my point, they do not have a big

:32:25.:32:31.

substitute. Here are the changes. Coming forward is the Kingussie

:32:32.:32:36.

substitute now. They have sorted that. They might try to get McGregor

:32:37.:32:50.

back on. Infield again, Kingussie. That goes out to the substitute,

:32:51.:33:04.

James Falconer. And again, one of the very youngest Kingussie players

:33:05.:33:11.

here. It is a measure of how they have 2 regenerate their squad all

:33:12.:33:16.

the time. It is something that they are particularly good at, Kingussie.

:33:17.:33:25.

He is a famous name, Faulkner. In the history of the Kingussie club.

:33:26.:33:43.

Tembo. That is a good effort. Just a point on the substitution, there.

:33:44.:33:47.

This was possibly a good chance but it fell to the wrong man, and I mean

:33:48.:33:54.

that in the nicest possible way. John Gibson would not have thought

:33:55.:33:57.

he would be playing here in another cup final at the age of 39. Flying

:33:58.:34:05.

off in a helicopter after winning a Camanachd Cup final with Kingussie.

:34:06.:34:12.

I was not referring to his age but the fact he is a midfielder and he

:34:13.:34:15.

rarely gets close enough to the gold to shoot. It ricochets for a corner.

:34:16.:34:21.

Glenurquhart need something here, 65 minutes now into the game. Dawson

:34:22.:34:26.

really has not had much to deal with but this could have gone anywhere,

:34:27.:34:36.

really. MacLennan fires it across. The defender gets up to deal with

:34:37.:34:43.

it. Dawson had to make sure. Getting it away. In it comes again. This

:34:44.:34:51.

time Barrie Dallas with a veteran's merge, there. -- nudge. He knew what

:34:52.:35:00.

he was doing, heading for the corner flag. If I go out there, it will

:35:01.:35:05.

take me a while to get back. Alan Madonna has been playing for the

:35:06.:35:15.

last ten seconds or so. This is now a chance for Glenurquhart to create

:35:16.:35:20.

something across the goal. In it goes. Taken on the volley. That was

:35:21.:35:26.

an ambitious chance. You have do have a go now. It is at the point of

:35:27.:35:32.

no return, really. Very much so, they need to hit the target and get

:35:33.:35:36.

some goals. There was a good effort, it was a good height. Doing

:35:37.:35:43.

really well. Just not getting as much connection as they would have

:35:44.:35:50.

liked. Craig Dawson is like a green keeper, hacking bits out of the

:35:51.:35:56.

turf. That is what you get, you see, the ball falls off. That was a huge

:35:57.:36:07.

hit. He is technically superb with his hitting out. Genini just slips

:36:08.:36:17.

off the pace of the game again. Another chance to redeem himself. He

:36:18.:36:23.

played that a bit high. It is all part of the learning curve for

:36:24.:36:30.

Genini. If they get away with 2-0, he scored the first. Guiding him

:36:31.:36:36.

from the touchline, I just spotted that below us in the gantry. I

:36:37.:36:43.

guiding arm, I think. A word in the every so often. -- in the ear. He

:36:44.:36:54.

has made a real contribution since coming on so early in the game as

:36:55.:36:59.

well. It has got flat a bit. I thinking you see no day at -- know

:37:00.:37:05.

that they are on the verge of something. They do not know how to

:37:06.:37:12.

get out of this hole at the moment. Kingussie are lapping it up. Going

:37:13.:37:16.

across the elbows there, and here he is again. That is a very tough

:37:17.:37:27.

tackle from Alan Macdonald again. Yes, we need to have a look at this

:37:28.:37:32.

again, this is great running for Kingussie. He has actually kicked it

:37:33.:37:42.

on the way through. Well, this is a chance here for Genini. He has the

:37:43.:37:50.

ball in the corner. It goes high to Ross. Ross is in. Well, you just

:37:51.:38:03.

cannot turn your back on Ross. A chance again on the far side, James

:38:04.:38:10.

Falconer will take this. They are happy knocking it back and forth,

:38:11.:38:16.

back and forth. Running down the clock. That was a lovely touch.

:38:17.:38:24.

James Faulkner! What a save. It is off the stanchion, it is a goal! It

:38:25.:38:31.

is in! It is Genini. He has done it again. Samuel Genini. What a burst.

:38:32.:38:42.

What a burst of play. It was Faulkner first and Genini finished

:38:43.:38:48.

it. Look at the skill. He finishes it. Great reflex is. What a strike.

:38:49.:38:55.

Straight off the stanchion. That skill is unbelievable. He is such a

:38:56.:39:03.

young man. And from the second young man, putting it away like that, we

:39:04.:39:11.

were not even 100% sure that it went in until we saw them celebrating.

:39:12.:39:14.

This will be a real of hell battle now. Trying to get back in the

:39:15.:39:24.

match. -- uphill battle. Oh, he is down again. He is down again. Ronald

:39:25.:39:40.

Ross is growling. Davie Anderson is laughing. That is the only way,

:39:41.:39:48.

really. There is nobody in shinty that can stop him. John is obviously

:39:49.:39:55.

doing his best today to try to eliminate Kingussie's threat of

:39:56.:40:00.

Ronald Ross. Genini has 2 goals and they are forgetting about him.

:40:01.:40:12.

Another opportunity here. Goodness me. What a wonderful save. Thomas

:40:13.:40:23.

Borthwick on Macintosh. First time, straight off the training ground,

:40:24.:40:26.

that was going right into the top corner. Absolutely wonderful

:40:27.:40:31.

goalkeeping. Wonderful hitting too from Borthwick. As we touched on

:40:32.:40:38.

earlier, Stuart's father lifted the Albert Smith Medal and he will too

:40:39.:40:43.

if he carries on with this formance. It is like shooting herring in a

:40:44.:40:50.

barrel at the moment. You get the feeling in the last 20 minutes at

:40:51.:40:55.

the floodgates could open if Glenurquhart are not careful. That

:40:56.:40:59.

is a magnificent volley. That is what you dream of, catching a volley

:41:00.:41:03.

at the back post and putting it in the back of the net. It was not far

:41:04.:41:11.

away. Great camera work, the way they are capturing these incidents.

:41:12.:41:20.

They happen at such speed. A Glenurquhart substitution here. I

:41:21.:41:29.

think McPherson is coming back on. It is Tembo. Let's go down to Fraser

:41:30.:41:36.

and Jonathan as Eddie Tembo leaves the field. 3-0 now, it is fantastic.

:41:37.:41:44.

Is it game over? Not necessarily, with 20 minutes to go you can score

:41:45.:41:48.

three goals in 20 minutes but the way it is going at the moment,

:41:49.:41:53.

Glenurquhart are not creating any chances and they are being pinned

:41:54.:41:57.

back here. The problem we are seeing is two different styles, the

:41:58.:42:02.

cultured style of Kingussie, it is all about composter, and perhaps we

:42:03.:42:08.

are seeing why Glenurquhart have not won the Scottish Cup before because

:42:09.:42:13.

their style is not cultured enough, they have had great individual

:42:14.:42:16.

players over the years but as a team in the big games, they do not have

:42:17.:42:20.

the composure to make the difference. The Kingussie team is

:42:21.:42:27.

not necessarily as great as Kingussie teams in the past, but

:42:28.:42:32.

they have won at the moment in the Kingussie style, by playing better

:42:33.:42:36.

than the other team. It is an uphill battle. Here is Ronald again. He is

:42:37.:42:44.

39. I would sit back and enjoy the show. We will see him passing the

:42:45.:42:52.

mantle to the younger guys. Savio Genini, two wonderful strikes.

:42:53.:42:57.

Congratulations to Kingussie so far. It looks like for Glenurquhart Time

:42:58.:43:06.

is running out. Fantastic insight from Fraser Inglis. Ross was always

:43:07.:43:14.

going to unleash it. He was winding up for that. You could see it

:43:15.:43:19.

coming. Very much, the ball comes and he turns in. We have seen him

:43:20.:43:24.

stopping the ball and going one side or the other but that time he just

:43:25.:43:31.

turns and unleashes it. I am not convinced we are finished between

:43:32.:43:34.

Barr and Ross for the afternoon. It is still nip and tuck, every ball is

:43:35.:43:40.

being contested. You and I both know, Ronald Ross and John Barr,

:43:41.:43:45.

they will both won the final word. The final word rests with Kingussie

:43:46.:43:58.

at the moment. Genini, Ross, and then Genini again. Our thoughts are

:43:59.:44:01.

moving towards the man of the match. There is a committee looking

:44:02.:44:08.

at that. It will be interesting. Stuart McIntosh Forshaw has made

:44:09.:44:15.

some great saves. -- certainly has made. And you have the young Genini

:44:16.:44:21.

with two goals as well. There are a few candidates out there. We still

:44:22.:44:26.

have 15 minutes. I would say it is still all to play for, nobody is an

:44:27.:44:32.

outstanding candidate at this stage. WHISTLE

:44:33.:44:37.

LAUGHTER James Falconer should pick on

:44:38.:44:40.

someone his own size! Absolutely brilliant. Great talent from the

:44:41.:44:46.

16-year-old on the far right hand side. He is the last thing you would

:44:47.:44:52.

want coming up against you in a Camanachd Cup final, somebody who is

:44:53.:44:56.

16 and can run and run. Here in years again. He has the full bag of

:44:57.:45:03.

tricks, this valour. Lovely ball into the middle, well taken by

:45:04.:45:11.

Macintosh. This is what Fraser Inglis was talking about. It is

:45:12.:45:14.

panicky and loose, there is no structure to it. They are willing

:45:15.:45:21.

and eager enough, but at the end of the day, it looks to me as though

:45:22.:45:28.

they have just not enough class. They will be disappointed not to

:45:29.:45:32.

have taken some of their chances earlier today, which has

:45:33.:45:35.

subsequently left them 3-0 behind at this point. It is their first

:45:36.:45:43.

Camanachd Cup final. Ross. Genini. He thought about it. He scoops it.

:45:44.:45:49.

That is inventive from Genini. He plays it to Ross. This is a

:45:50.:45:52.

masterclass from the big fella. Look at the way he is taking John Barr

:45:53.:45:57.

for a walk. Brilliant from Kingussie. Macintosh. He gets on top

:45:58.:46:04.

of them. It is the full panoply of threats from Kingussie now. The

:46:05.:46:10.

shadows have gone. At the moment Kingussie have gone. Lee Bain. There

:46:11.:46:19.

are three Kingussie shirts. Here he comes again. A little pass. That was

:46:20.:46:30.

nonchalantly from Ross. John Barr has no option but to put it out.

:46:31.:46:36.

Well, this is classy stuff will stop very much so. -- classy stuff. They

:46:37.:46:42.

are starting to open up the defence. When it is getting to the forwards

:46:43.:46:46.

the defence are stifling them, feeding the forwards. Here is one of

:46:47.:46:56.

the older hands. The captain. James Maclean has come on. And Fraser

:46:57.:47:05.

Munro is headed off. Into the middle it goes. That is a good ball,

:47:06.:47:18.

though, that is a good ball. Dallas. That is well taken by Barrie Dallas.

:47:19.:47:23.

Hutchison. Then it comes in again. Dallas is underneath it but he

:47:24.:47:28.

misses it. That is a good save. Dawson has been taken down. Off the

:47:29.:47:33.

ball, there. Back it comes. It is wasted, there. Well, he is a big man

:47:34.:47:42.

to take down! If you look here, it comes through. And he catches him

:47:43.:47:45.

with the stick on the way through. He is trying to grab his own stick

:47:46.:47:49.

back and he pulls the feet out from underneath Dawson. Just an

:47:50.:47:56.

interesting point here, it is worth watching, when Dawson takes his hit,

:47:57.:48:01.

if we can just stay on Dawson and see what he does immediately at that

:48:02.:48:08.

he takes the hit... On the 18th hole again! He sold us a dummy. Look at

:48:09.:48:18.

what he does. He swaps his stick. I wonder if he has a pound of lead

:48:19.:48:23.

shot in the first one. I will let you ask him. He is just explaining

:48:24.:48:31.

to the goal judge why he changes the stick. Usually you have more loft on

:48:32.:48:39.

the stick underneath the ball, and possibly a flat ahead. To stop the

:48:40.:48:46.

ball after. Well, that shot sums it up. Some of the despondency really,

:48:47.:48:51.

that is all I can describe it as. Eddie Tembo. So much food for

:48:52.:49:00.

thought. It is written all over his face, really. He will be

:49:01.:49:07.

disappointed, his first ever and at cup final, possibly his last as the

:49:08.:49:11.

captain. He will be very disappointed with 11 minutes left.

:49:12.:49:16.

They have competed better than they did in the other final this year,

:49:17.:49:22.

when the opponents run away from them. They have not really allowed

:49:23.:49:28.

Kingussie to do that but they have been better than them. He has put

:49:29.:49:32.

himself about since coming on. He is like a

:49:33.:49:41.

-- whippet. They do not know how to control him. Absolutely fantastic

:49:42.:49:51.

approach to the game. All credit to Kingussie for throwing him in. If he

:49:52.:50:00.

is young enough, he is good enough. He is here because of his talent. To

:50:01.:50:07.

be 16 years old in a Camanachd Cup final, trying to lift your first

:50:08.:50:12.

ever Camanachd Cup final trophy, that is incredible. He tees up Ross.

:50:13.:50:21.

Would you believe it? The confidence is oozing out of Kingussie. It is

:50:22.:50:28.

very significant. There is a huge hole in midfield. There is just

:50:29.:50:32.

nobody there. They have conceded territory. Again, great running by

:50:33.:50:39.

Borthwick. He knew exactly what he was doing. He wants his name on the

:50:40.:50:45.

scoresheet now as well. Ten minutes and less to go, the Kingussie fans

:50:46.:50:52.

are massed to the left-hand side behind Macintosh's goal because they

:50:53.:50:55.

want to put him under pressure as well. I am sure that the banter is

:50:56.:51:04.

of the very best nature. They cannot quite get it away. This is a chance

:51:05.:51:08.

to relieve pressure. Look at the acres of space here. What happens

:51:09.:51:15.

is... That was a hefty challenge. The referee saw nothing wrong with

:51:16.:51:19.

that. Fired it up the other end. They are not going to hang about. He

:51:20.:51:25.

was lurking within tent. The referee has stopped the game. -- with

:51:26.:51:33.

intent. Over on the far side there was a bit of concern about the

:51:34.:51:38.

player, I think it is David Smart. He is down. That is who it. It is

:51:39.:51:45.

not quite clear but it looks like his arm, actually. What happens is

:51:46.:51:53.

that he goes down... Oh, he was trodden on, really. Yes, that will

:51:54.:52:01.

be a sore one. There is some concern for him. It is nice to see Lewis

:52:02.:52:08.

Munro as well, the Kingussie player, trying to help him back to his feet.

:52:09.:52:13.

There is a great atmosphere around the pitch, one of the best crowds,

:52:14.:52:22.

the best nature natured -- the best natured crowds I have seen. There

:52:23.:52:28.

are hundreds and hundreds of flags around the field as well, and there

:52:29.:52:35.

is great support for them as well, in their first ever Camanachd Cup

:52:36.:52:39.

final. They will be horribly disappointed not to be able to take

:52:40.:52:42.

the cup back because it is looking increasingly unlikely. We have lost

:52:43.:52:49.

David Smart. Really it would take a miracle now. But you never know. One

:52:50.:52:55.

goal would do it. It would like the touch paper. We have seen it happen

:52:56.:53:00.

so often before in other cup finals. Tembo has come on. He has gone down

:53:01.:53:09.

in midfield, James Maclean. Ronald Ross. Oh, and that was very very...

:53:10.:53:20.

He has got a file. If you lie had not got that... -- foul. He has gone

:53:21.:53:30.

down in the middle of the field in some distress, I think it is

:53:31.:53:34.

cramped. There must have been some issues with that man coming on. I

:53:35.:53:39.

think it is more than that, I struggled to believe that a player

:53:40.:53:43.

of his fitness is getting cramp after only ten minutes on the

:53:44.:53:46.

field! I think something else must have happened down there. Let's go

:53:47.:53:53.

down to Jonathan who is with Russell Jones, the Kingussie assistant

:53:54.:53:59.

coach. Is it game over? The game is never over until the final whistle.

:54:00.:54:03.

We are not taking anything for granted. But you must be delighted?

:54:04.:54:09.

We are delighted with the way we have played. It is Ronald Ross

:54:10.:54:18.

again! It is game over. Incredible scenes here. Look at the crowd,

:54:19.:54:27.

embracing their hero once again. That is bread-and-butter for him. It

:54:28.:54:33.

is almost casual, almost casual. Look at Stuart McIntosh, he knows

:54:34.:54:37.

that they were beaten all ends up because there is no way you can stop

:54:38.:54:46.

that, Gary. No, and he had so much time as well, one-on-one, he is

:54:47.:54:53.

lethal. Once more he has delivered, adding to his thousand plus goals

:54:54.:54:56.

that he has already scored. A very strong contender for man of the

:54:57.:55:01.

match as well. His play, his goals and his contribution. It has 2 B,

:55:02.:55:06.

with the way he has guided the forward line, that has been immense.

:55:07.:55:12.

At 39, he does not have the legs. Well, he has the same legs but not

:55:13.:55:17.

the same staying power, perhaps. A lot has been made of his age in the

:55:18.:55:22.

final, but to be honest he has absolutely delivered like he did ten

:55:23.:55:26.

years ago and ten years before that as well. I think he will be fairly

:55:27.:55:31.

happy with his contribution and very much the puppet Master today with

:55:32.:55:33.

the forwards, he has controlled them and use them. Garry Munro has left

:55:34.:55:40.

the field at the other end, and Dawson is happy to let that go for a

:55:41.:55:42.

corner. A goal for Glenurquhart would give

:55:43.:55:59.

them something to cheer, the supporters have come in their

:56:00.:56:05.

thousands, so it would be great to see the net bulging. Just wide.

:56:06.:56:18.

Well, it is all becoming clear. It is beginning to run the clock down,

:56:19.:56:25.

only four minutes left and we are expecting the man of the match

:56:26.:56:30.

announcement shortly before the end of the game. That is a good stop by

:56:31.:56:37.

Dawson. Tembo. And he gets it away. The Glen never say die. With July to

:56:38.:56:46.

guess at the man of the match award? -- would you? That is quite simple

:56:47.:56:53.

because I know who it is! LAUGHTER Because this is him, this is the

:56:54.:56:58.

man, the main man, Ronald Ross is the winner of the Albert Smith Medal

:56:59.:57:02.

Memorial medal as man of the match. And he adds to his record, now

:57:03.:57:11.

having it four times and it is well deserved. He has broken yet another

:57:12.:57:16.

record, as you say. Was there ever any doubt? Well, I am sure at one

:57:17.:57:22.

point Genini might have had aspirations. That is a good ball but

:57:23.:57:29.

again it is wasted. At this stage in the game he is trying to lob it in,

:57:30.:57:34.

make Craig Dawson work. The one time we saw that it hit the bar and it

:57:35.:57:41.

beat him almost. Only a couple of minutes left, why not have a go? It

:57:42.:57:46.

is only slightly wide. We are going to have a couple of minutes of extra

:57:47.:57:50.

time actually. Let's have a look if he goes with the change of stick

:57:51.:57:57.

again. Everyone a winner. It is hanging on the post! Good defending

:57:58.:58:02.

from the forward line in classic style. Bain. At the other end of the

:58:03.:58:10.

field, so they do not care now. Well, what is going through that

:58:11.:58:14.

young fella's head at the age of 16? He has just come on. He will have to

:58:15.:58:21.

ask his mum and dad if he can stay out and party with the boys tonight!

:58:22.:58:25.

At least they will know where he is. I would hope! If they are watching

:58:26.:58:32.

on telly. But they won't become they will be here. There will be an

:58:33.:58:38.

explosion of red. The red and black of Glenurquhart. Kingussie is going

:58:39.:58:47.

to go berserk in a few minutes when David Mitchell calls a halt to

:58:48.:58:51.

this. It was not a classic but it has had its moments, it has had some

:58:52.:58:55.

finesse and class. One or two good finishes. I think it has been, as

:58:56.:59:04.

you say, not a classic but Kingussie have been very classy in their play.

:59:05.:59:09.

Their approach. WHISTLE It is not finished. A bit of actors.

:59:10.:59:16.

Glenurquhart will think they could have done things differently. We

:59:17.:59:19.

have talked about a future answer is earlier. -- Afterburn. They are the

:59:20.:59:30.

Scottish champions for 2014. Dawson will want to keep a clean sheet. He

:59:31.:59:38.

is not going to concede anything. Because the Kingussie defenders are

:59:39.:59:43.

not giving an inch. He has been outstanding at the back. The hind

:59:44.:59:47.

Barrie Dallas. Barrie Dallas, who I think has strolled through this

:59:48.:59:51.

game, has never had an easier ride in his life. Getting towards the end

:59:52.:59:57.

of the game. He has mopped up everything, it has been very easy,

:59:58.:00:02.

quick, simple. You are right, key has strolled through the game. It is

:00:03.:00:07.

an interesting tactic. Kingussie look as though they are playing a

:00:08.:00:12.

back three which is unusual. It has never been breached, really. That is

:00:13.:00:17.

because Glenurquhart are happy to look for the ball more and more

:00:18.:00:20.

often and it has not worked for them today. Beyond the point of no

:00:21.:00:28.

return. The 90 minutes are up. Kingussie are heading for victory

:00:29.:00:33.

and Genini is heading for a party. He blasts it straight across the

:00:34.:00:38.

face of goal. I wonder if he has taken a bet with Ross about getting

:00:39.:00:42.

a hat-trick! He is certainly on par for it. He was told off by Ross for

:00:43.:00:49.

not passing the ball. Well, for a young man of 17 years old, scoring

:00:50.:00:54.

twice in the Camanachd Cup final, he has every right to tell him to shut

:00:55.:01:00.

up! The high ball, the dangerous ball, there. Gets underneath it.

:01:01.:01:12.

Well, it is going to rock the Bught Park when the final whistle goes.

:01:13.:01:19.

There is the weight of history on their shoulders. Today McLean has

:01:20.:01:30.

recovered from his cramp -- McLennan. He seems to have dropped

:01:31.:01:36.

deeper. He won't want to do too much. Interestingly he works for the

:01:37.:01:45.

match sponsors so they are going to be very happy, Scottish Hydro. He

:01:46.:01:52.

may have a week off after this, I might say. Glenurquhart, they know

:01:53.:02:02.

the clock has beaten them. But they are not going to concede much if

:02:03.:02:13.

they can. Barrie Dallas. Again, twice in recent minutes I have seen

:02:14.:02:18.

three Kingussie players against a Glenurquhart player. They are lining

:02:19.:02:24.

up to hit the ball. Here they come, Falconer. What a finish for this

:02:25.:02:31.

young man to get a goal for Kingussie. Has he got the legs to

:02:32.:02:36.

get a goal in his first cup final? He's got the legs, it's just whether

:02:37.:02:40.

it will land for him at this stage of the game. Now then, Genini and

:02:41.:02:44.

Ross will be looking for the ball first because they are on a

:02:45.:02:50.

hat-trick each. Oh! That was of the stanchion at the back. Still firing.

:02:51.:02:57.

They might be 4-0 up but it doesn't matter, they will take another pop

:02:58.:03:02.

any time they can get it. They want to finish the game in style. Unlucky

:03:03.:03:08.

not to get his name on the scoresheet today but he has been

:03:09.:03:12.

very close on a number of occasions. You can see over on the far side the

:03:13.:03:18.

Kingussie bench are massing for a pitch invasion. It's going to be a

:03:19.:03:22.

Usain Bolt type finish because Kingussie are the 2014 Scottish

:03:23.:03:33.

hydroelectric Camanachd Cup champions and they take with it the

:03:34.:03:36.

title of Scottish champions, largely due to the efforts of Ronald Ross

:03:37.:03:43.

and Genini. They shared the goal-scoring honours. But really it

:03:44.:03:50.

was a very complete and adequate performance from the new seaside who

:03:51.:03:55.

dominated the match in virtually every respect. They never put a foot

:03:56.:04:04.

wrong. And they delivered on the great moments that they were

:04:05.:04:10.

commemorating today. It has all been done. They have signed it off,

:04:11.:04:15.

because the final score at the Bught Park in Inverness is Kingussie 4-0

:04:16.:04:21.

Glenurquhart. Huge congratulations to Kingussie Camanachd the Camanachd

:04:22.:04:27.

Cup winners of 2014, superb performance today as they thrashed

:04:28.:04:33.

Glenurquhart 4-0, queueing a pitch invasion. Fantastic. Fraser Inglis,

:04:34.:04:39.

there is no doubt about it, Kingussie were the dominant side.

:04:40.:04:46.

They were and 4-0 didn't do it justice, they outclassed

:04:47.:04:52.

Glenurquhart. As we said in the analysis Kingussie's cultured style

:04:53.:04:56.

and movement and having the ability to take the chances, Glenurquhart

:04:57.:05:01.

could not cope with it. Ronald Ross and Savio Genini with the goals but

:05:02.:05:04.

it was more than that, it was more of a team performance overall.

:05:05.:05:08.

Kingussie were dominant in every department. They didn't really give

:05:09.:05:17.

Kingussie defence any problems and occasionally the midfield was

:05:18.:05:21.

dominant as well. We are picking out Savio and Ronald because their goals

:05:22.:05:27.

were fantastic, but Barrie Dallas, James McClean, these guys have been

:05:28.:05:30.

playing for years and will be delighted to get another Scottish

:05:31.:05:34.

Cup win. These are great scenes and it means so much to the Kingussie

:05:35.:05:38.

players and the fans and people like Ronald Ross, in his 12th Camanachd

:05:39.:05:44.

Cup Finals victory. Absolutely. Kingussie are world record winners

:05:45.:05:47.

as far as sport goes, they had all of these record wins. They have not

:05:48.:05:52.

won the Scottish for a long time so they were desperate to get back. In

:05:53.:05:57.

fairness to them they were probably surprised to get into the final but

:05:58.:06:01.

they made the most of it. We hope Ronald Ross will join us at some

:06:02.:06:06.

point. Let's look at his goals, two goals today, Fraser, and he so

:06:07.:06:10.

important. He had an assist as well that we will see. He's a

:06:11.:06:15.

goal-scoring machine. He is. He has the technical shinty skills and he

:06:16.:06:18.

is a fantastic athlete and he combines them for the first goal,

:06:19.:06:22.

power, strength, composure and the will to win, the determination to

:06:23.:06:28.

get there. He came through the tackle, through another tackle, even

:06:29.:06:32.

though this one came in and now he is in a race with John Barr, and

:06:33.:06:36.

Stuart MacKintosh does his best but cannot keep it out. That is the

:06:37.:06:41.

difference with Ronald compare to other shinty players. He's such an

:06:42.:06:46.

athlete. He is a consummate sportsman. He could have been a

:06:47.:06:49.

tennis player. It means so much to him. Absolutely because Ronald

:06:50.:06:53.

probably thought he would not see another Scottish final again. In

:06:54.:06:58.

these areas, you have to remember when Ronald goes in there there is a

:06:59.:07:02.

good chance he gets hit but he still goes in and has the peace of mind to

:07:03.:07:05.

pick the right decision at the right time and find the goals. At the

:07:06.:07:10.

other end of the age scale lots of young players in this Kingussie team

:07:11.:07:14.

and Savio Genini, 17 years of age, but what a role he played, not just

:07:15.:07:20.

today but in the whole Camanachd Cup journey for Kingussie. Nominee

:07:21.:07:25.

people have scored in every round of the Camanachd Cup and to score the

:07:26.:07:28.

goals and play the way he played, he is a great young player -- not many

:07:29.:07:36.

young people. Great ball from Ross and that gave Kingussie the full

:07:37.:07:39.

hold in the game. Fantastic composure for a boy of that age. --

:07:40.:07:45.

foothold. William goal and we will also see his second goal. Here he is

:07:46.:07:49.

with the second goal will stop it was a stunning strike. -- brilliant

:07:50.:07:56.

goal. The ball dropped and he took it with no hesitation, bang, no

:07:57.:08:01.

chance for Stuart MacKintosh. The only guy we see finish like that is

:08:02.:08:05.

Ronald so it's a coincidence they are in the same team, it came back

:08:06.:08:09.

off the stanchion before Stuart MacKintosh knew anything about it.

:08:10.:08:13.

We've been joined by the man of the moment, Ronald Ross. What does this

:08:14.:08:18.

mean to you? You're 12 Camanachd Cup Finals success? It is special, we've

:08:19.:08:23.

been trying for so long to get the 12th medal, we've come so

:08:24.:08:27.

agonisingly close and it was the crowning moment today. Delighted for

:08:28.:08:33.

the club. Our local rivals up the road have dominated the last while

:08:34.:08:37.

but delighted to win this year and get the monkey off our backs. Is

:08:38.:08:43.

this your swansong will you on? Probably is my swansong. I kept it

:08:44.:08:47.

secret, I might play for the second team next year, I've enjoyed it this

:08:48.:08:55.

year. No better way to go out. It's time for the trophy presentation,

:08:56.:09:01.

over to Hugh Dan MacLennan. I think we've just heard a moment of

:09:02.:09:05.

history, Ronald Ross's retirement, it seems to be. Meanwhile, the rest

:09:06.:09:11.

of the team get on with the business. Mr Dawson leads the

:09:12.:09:19.

charge, accepting the medals from sponsors, Scottish Hydro Electric,

:09:20.:09:23.

the sponsorship manager. Jock Turner, the chieftain Archie

:09:24.:09:27.

Roberts, the President I mentioned earlier, having made a good recovery

:09:28.:09:36.

from his recent operation. As we said earlier he has thrown away his

:09:37.:09:39.

crutches. Kingussie, not one failure in their ranks, as we said. There is

:09:40.:09:46.

Barrie Dallas. The same age as Ronald Ross. Young Borthwick, his

:09:47.:09:50.

famous father took 14 medals home. A bit Borthwick. There is Ronald Ross

:09:51.:09:58.

himself coming up, just taking that one medal at the moment. And we will

:09:59.:10:08.

see the precise order of events taking the winners first, to enable

:10:09.:10:13.

the presentation to be completed for us in time. The great setting and

:10:14.:10:24.

magnificent trophy. And here is the captain, the winning captain of

:10:25.:10:29.

Kingussie, who follows a great line of winning captains from this half

:10:30.:10:38.

of Badenoch. The winners of the Scottish championship and the

:10:39.:10:43.

Scottish Hydro elective Camanachd Cup -- Electric Camanachd Cup,

:10:44.:10:44.

Kingussie. These are great scenes.

:10:45.:11:00.

The glorious day of weather has given way to a grey day but it's

:11:01.:11:04.

been a great day for Kingussie as they once again lift the Camanachd

:11:05.:11:09.

Cup Trophy, absolutely superb for them. I'm joined once again by Gary

:11:10.:11:13.

in this, our co-commentator this afternoon. It was a dominant

:11:14.:11:17.

performance from Kingussie. Kingussie were outstanding from

:11:18.:11:21.

start to finish, from defence to the forward line and what a fitting

:11:22.:11:25.

end. Ronald Ross gave us an exclusive that this was his

:11:26.:11:28.

swansong, to pick up the Albert Smith and the 12th winning medal of

:11:29.:11:33.

a Camanachd Cup medal is incredible. Absolutely. Ronald Ross said this

:11:34.:11:37.

was his swansong. Do you believe him first of all? Ronald has said that

:11:38.:11:42.

before but today I think Ronald was near his best and Kingussie were

:11:43.:11:46.

fantastic and in the manner they won it would be a fitting way for Ronald

:11:47.:11:50.

to leave the stage. I know that Ronald enjoys playing and wants to

:11:51.:11:54.

play in the second team but I would say for the first team for Ronald it

:11:55.:11:59.

would be the right time. A quick word about Glenurquhart, how do you

:12:00.:12:04.

some up their day? A little bit disappointed. They will feel the

:12:05.:12:06.

opportunities they had at the start if they had taken them they would

:12:07.:12:11.

have been in a different position. Craig Dawson, their goalkeeper, made

:12:12.:12:15.

some good saves. They will be disappointed. Losing your first-ever

:12:16.:12:19.

Camanachd Cup final as well, they will struggle over the next couple

:12:20.:12:24.

of days but they have a great squad and there is no reason they should

:12:25.:12:27.

not be there next year and the year after. Thank you for joining us.

:12:28.:12:31.

They will be more shinty shortly on BBC Two Scotland. Next month it is

:12:32.:12:38.

the shinty -hurling international on Saturday 18th October, Scotland

:12:39.:12:43.

versus Ireland. Join us for that. It will be fantastic. And fantastic

:12:44.:12:51.

scenes here at Bught Park today. It's been a hugely memorable day for

:12:52.:12:55.

Kingussie. A resounding victory for them in the Camanachd Cup Finals and

:12:56.:13:01.

Ronald Ross, one of the great phenomenons of this sport, once

:13:02.:13:05.

again very much to the fore. And if this is to be his swansong for

:13:06.:13:10.

Kingussie he could not go out in much better way. Thanks to everybody

:13:11.:13:14.

in the team today. It's been a great day, a great day for Kingussie,

:13:15.:13:18.

commiserations to Glenurquhart. Until next time from all of us here

:13:19.:13:20.

at Bught Park, goodbye.
