:00:23. > :00:29.But they are shinty's Original Old Firm will stop they have a host of
:00:29. > :00:36.cup runs and league championships between them up. In the 1970s and
:00:36. > :00:46.early 80s they won almost every competition going. Almost every
:00:46. > :00:48.
:00:48. > :00:53.contest is fondly remembered. But in the more modern era, they have
:00:53. > :01:00.not been more dominant, neither side has lifted this famous trophy
:01:01. > :01:05.since the 1980s. Now, both teams are on the rise. Newtonmore or won
:01:05. > :01:11.the Premier League last season. They were in the final of the
:01:12. > :01:21.Camanachd Cup. Kyles Athletic are unbeaten this season and have
:01:22. > :01:31.
:01:31. > :01:36.But who is going to be dancing in the streets of organ tonight? Kyles
:01:36. > :01:44.Athletic face in Newtonmore or four at the McAulay Cup, a trophy they
:01:44. > :01:51.have both lifted nine times before it. Hello. A warm welcome to this
:01:51. > :01:56.fantastic final today. Kyles Athletic verses Newtonmore. We will
:01:56. > :02:03.meet some of the guys in the dressing room. First double Kyles
:02:03. > :02:09.Athletic. Who is in here? Duncky Kerr is the captain. You have had
:02:09. > :02:14.it good season so far. You must be pretty confident. We are pretty
:02:14. > :02:21.confident but we are not over- confident. We take every game as it
:02:21. > :02:25.comes. Hopefully if we play well today we will lift the cup. Your
:02:25. > :02:31.team are playing well and confidently, what do you put that
:02:31. > :02:38.down to? Just the team that being together for a couple of years. We
:02:38. > :02:43.have managed to win a lot of games this season. Give us a sense for
:02:43. > :02:49.the audience but home of the rivalry between Kyles Athletic and
:02:49. > :02:57.Newtonmore. We get reminded of it quite often but it is not as big
:02:57. > :03:03.nowadays as it was back in the day. It you are meant to say it is very
:03:03. > :03:09.big! His big to Roddy Macdonald. I am sure you will be happy to score
:03:09. > :03:14.another nine goals today? I do not care who scores as long as we get
:03:14. > :03:21.the win. It is about being in the right place at the right time.
:03:21. > :03:27.dad is in goals for you today. He was there in 1996 when the team
:03:27. > :03:30.lost, will he be trying to make amends? I think he has only got one
:03:30. > :03:40.winner's medal in all the time he has been playing, it would be nice
:03:40. > :03:45.to give him one more before he jacks it all in. I knew playing
:03:45. > :03:53.where you are to get away from them? I certainly do not hear as
:03:54. > :04:01.much from him when I am upfront! have missed a few matches through
:04:01. > :04:05.university and jobs but the team are playing well this season. We
:04:05. > :04:10.have formally lost one match so far this season, unfortunately it was
:04:10. > :04:17.in the Camanachd Cup. You have just graduated as a doctor, hopefully
:04:17. > :04:23.your skills will not be called on today? Hopefully not! I will be
:04:23. > :04:28.turning the other way! Now let as head into the Newtonmore her
:04:29. > :04:36.dressing room and see what they have to say. What I are they going
:04:36. > :04:43.to do today? Scott Campbell, the captain, the first thing I have to
:04:43. > :04:48.ask is what has happened to you, look at your face. I had an
:04:49. > :04:54.accident when I was caught in the eye with the stick. That is only
:04:54. > :05:01.the training and that is the kind of injury you get! Kyles Athletic
:05:01. > :05:09.have done well and have come back into the top of the game, but you
:05:09. > :05:16.have done well this season too. have really gelled together this
:05:16. > :05:26.season. Kyles Athletic at the team to beat. Hopefully this will be a
:05:26. > :05:27.
:05:27. > :05:30.great spectacle. You won the Mick Tavish last year and another trophy
:05:30. > :05:36.at the beginning of this one, are your team getting back to where
:05:36. > :05:41.they should be? I think so. We are competing in two national finals
:05:41. > :05:46.this year and we are getting back to where we should be. Norman
:05:46. > :05:52.Cameron, I know you have had a few problems of injury but I understand
:05:52. > :05:56.you are back to full fitness question my act yes. It just comes
:05:56. > :06:00.with the old age in shinty, I should not worry about it. Your
:06:00. > :06:09.only conceded one goal against King you see on the way to this final,
:06:09. > :06:13.you will be up against some fast boys today? Yes indeed, Kyles
:06:13. > :06:17.Athletic have some thick lads up front. You are a defender and you
:06:17. > :06:23.have already played against them in the league this year and it was a
:06:23. > :06:31.drop, you expecting this to be a tight one? Absolutely, whenever we
:06:31. > :06:35.play against Kyles Athletic it is tight. Hopefully it will go well.
:06:35. > :06:42.Danny MacRae, you have scored in every round of this competition,
:06:42. > :06:48.what would you give for scoring four or five today? Air by score or
:06:48. > :06:53.one or two I will be absolutely delighted today! The team are going
:06:53. > :06:59.well so we will hopefully keep that going. You are carrying a battle
:06:59. > :07:04.scar on your mouth, how did that happen? That was in the semi-final
:07:04. > :07:11.last week against in Bury. Hopefully I will be quicker today!
:07:11. > :07:16.Has your dad giving you any advice? He always gives me advice, he says
:07:16. > :07:23.try harder and score goals will stop try your best. Have a
:07:23. > :07:25.fantastic final. The boys are looking and sounding pretty calm
:07:25. > :07:35.looking and sounding pretty calm before this final. This is how they
:07:35. > :07:35.
:07:35. > :08:18.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:08:18. > :08:25.I am delighted to say that beside me is a man who knows this pitch
:08:25. > :08:29.very well. He played for Oban Camanachd, Kingussie and Scotland.
:08:29. > :08:32.Fraser, let's talk about how important this game is, a team from
:08:32. > :08:37.the North against a team for the south and they are both playing
:08:37. > :08:43.very well. They are both very consistent this season. We probably
:08:43. > :08:48.could not have more contrasting styles either. Tiles and a fast-
:08:48. > :08:54.moving team who like to move the ball quickly and run with the ball.
:08:54. > :08:59.Today really should board for a good final. We have discovered that
:08:59. > :09:07.Fraser MacDonald will not start for Hiles, how big a blow is that for
:09:07. > :09:16.them? -- for Kyles Athletic. He can play full-forward or at full back,
:09:16. > :09:20.He would have been and the man to have that the back. He is a match
:09:20. > :09:27.for the Newtonmore big forwards. They will be disappointed he is not
:09:27. > :09:33.starting. Newtonmore are losing their man who got a red card last
:09:33. > :09:40.week, how big a loss will he be for Newtonmore? He is a big loss. David
:09:40. > :09:50.is probably the most gifted player they have. He has not played very
:09:50. > :09:50.
:09:50. > :09:54.often this season so they have not got the results of him. We can hear
:09:55. > :10:00.the pipe band from or been high school. We are delighted they are
:10:00. > :10:08.here to lead the guys on to the pitch. Let us talk about the warm-
:10:08. > :10:13.up. Maison Newtonmore are staying on the pitch. -- we saw Newtonmore
:10:13. > :10:19.were staying on the pitch. Sometimes a warm-up can go on for
:10:19. > :10:27.too long. You can lose your edge at it. But if they have been doing
:10:27. > :10:32.that all season it will be a build up for them. Do you think they will
:10:33. > :10:40.utilise a rolling subs today? you need the have an injury in the
:10:40. > :10:45.first have somebody can come of awe or on. There are more tactical
:10:45. > :10:52.changes to do. This will be the first major final we have had
:10:52. > :11:02.rolling subs in of. Two teams at the very top of their game. It is
:11:02. > :11:03.
:11:03. > :11:13.the 2011 Artemis the Kohli Cup final. -- Artemis MacAulay Cup
:11:13. > :11:16.
:11:17. > :11:20.final. He has been a long time coming. It is just like all times
:11:20. > :11:30.did the in the Cup final. Newtonmore are against Kyles
:11:30. > :11:32.
:11:32. > :11:36.Athletic for the first time since 1986. It is in for a -2. A quick
:11:36. > :11:42.look at Newtonmore, they were a team of the year last year, taking
:11:42. > :11:47.the Premier League championship for the first time in 25 years. Their
:11:47. > :11:57.manager stresses that each game as it comes now it is more important
:11:57. > :11:57.
:11:57. > :12:02.than the last. It's was last week, it is this week and it will be the
:12:02. > :12:10.same in the weeks that come. Fraser Mackenzie, a man who has been here
:12:10. > :12:17.and done best, 2001 News did in these players' possessions. What is
:12:17. > :12:24.it like being out there in the middle of this all going on? Mike
:12:24. > :12:29.team do not get too many finals sort it was a big occasion. To be
:12:29. > :12:34.honest, the occasion got to us on that day. We had done all the hard
:12:34. > :12:42.work in the semi-final. The occasion in organ got two As and we
:12:42. > :12:52.were well beaten on the day they will stop -- the occasion got to us
:12:52. > :12:55.
:12:55. > :13:00.and we were well beaten on D-Day.. The tiles athletic team it. They
:13:00. > :13:10.have a late addition to the team in place of Fraser Macdonald. Let us
:13:10. > :13:19.
:13:19. > :13:25.have a look at the line-up as they You will find that Roddy Macdonald
:13:25. > :13:30.and Grant Irvine play right up the park next to the centre line. It
:13:30. > :13:40.will affect the formation. Peter Curry will hold the ball up and
:13:40. > :13:53.
:13:53. > :13:57.play it into the wide spaces for Danny MacRae will come in and were
:13:57. > :14:02.off Cameron been a much as the Ronald Ross doesn't when he is
:14:02. > :14:11.playing on the wing. An unsung hero is Glen Mackintosh who does not get
:14:11. > :14:17.the credit he deserves. He will be a big player for then did a. These
:14:17. > :14:22.players can come and go as the game goes on. These players did come on
:14:22. > :14:27.goes on. These players did come on as goalkeeper if need be. Derrick
:14:27. > :14:37.Cameron used to be in cup finals come I he scored the fastest ever
:14:37. > :14:48.
:14:48. > :14:58.traditional royal blue. The Hiles goalkeeper is defending the gold to
:14:58. > :15:17.
:15:17. > :15:21.declaration of intent straight away with a shot from Glen Mackintosh.
:15:21. > :15:31.He knows the way to go and maybe an indication of how they will play
:15:31. > :15:38.
:15:38. > :15:48.the game. He will also see at the other end Scott Campbell's man
:15:48. > :16:01.
:16:02. > :16:09.Scott Campbell, the Newtonmore and captain. They will be trying to put
:16:09. > :16:19.a lot of pressure on Michael Ritchie. He has been suspended and
:16:19. > :16:21.
:16:21. > :16:31.it did affect his game. The Newtonmore keeper has a very bright
:16:31. > :17:03.
:17:03. > :17:10.sun in his eyes. They will be every time. The keeper had to be on
:17:11. > :17:20.his guard. They're keen to get off to a good start. They want to make
:17:20. > :17:30.a good start to the game. The hat to be very quick. The ball rolls.
:17:30. > :17:39.
:17:39. > :17:49.You cannot kick the ball in the Newtonmore. It seems to be a clear
:17:49. > :17:50.
:17:50. > :17:56.tactic. Anything within 30 yards, they will have a go. Kyles Athletic
:17:56. > :18:06.will be playing pace into the area well Newtonmore are playing a more
:18:06. > :18:31.
:18:31. > :18:41.Norman Campbell, picking up the ball and clearing it. If anything,
:18:41. > :18:50.
:18:50. > :18:59.Newtonmore are making best use of a rolling substitutes, do you think
:18:59. > :19:03.we will see a lot? The fitness and the pace of Kyles Athletic might
:19:03. > :19:13.mean Newtonmore and may have to make a few changes but they have
:19:13. > :19:14.
:19:14. > :19:24.plenty on the bench to commend and do a good job. -- come in and do a
:19:24. > :19:24.
:19:24. > :20:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:20:07. > :20:14.Athletic at the moment. That may He will be disappointed with that
:20:14. > :20:24.effort. Kyles Athletic seemed to be happy to allow Newtonmore to shoot
:20:24. > :20:25.
:20:25. > :20:33.from a range. I hop -- I hope my golf coach is watching that swing,
:20:33. > :20:43.that is what he hopes I can do. It was wind assisted of course. A
:20:43. > :20:44.
:20:44. > :20:54.wonderful strike from Donald. That is a great ball into the Newtonmore
:20:54. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :21:26.shepherding him out and not letting him win. They have a big job
:21:26. > :21:44.
:21:44. > :21:52.midfield. If anything, he over hit it. Slightly long. But a very
:21:52. > :22:02.strong midfield with Newtonmore. They may look a bit heavy, but very
:22:02. > :22:18.
:22:18. > :22:28.for Kyles Athletic this season. can see goals coming from either
:22:28. > :22:28.
:22:28. > :23:25.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:23:25. > :23:31.it have been scoring goals from sense of occasion. The hitting is
:23:31. > :23:36.just a little bit poorer than you would think. Newtonmore can take
:23:36. > :23:44.advantage. You can see experience from Norman Campbell pushing
:23:44. > :23:50.forwards. A a chance for Newtonmore. A great stop. A double stop from
:23:50. > :23:57.Kenny MacDonald. We have said it all before, there is very little to
:23:57. > :24:06.say about Kenny MacDonald. There you have him at his best. There was
:24:06. > :24:14.far too much time for Danny MacRae to get a shot off. It has to go
:24:14. > :24:20.down as a good chance but a great double stop from Kenny MacDonald.
:24:20. > :24:30.The risk of allowing Newtonmore to shoot is fine as long as he stops
:24:30. > :24:37.
:24:37. > :24:44.top. Just over the goal line. In the first 10 minutes, the threat
:24:44. > :24:53.seems to be on the Newtonmore side and they have little impetus here.
:24:53. > :24:58.Experience is something that is playing its part. You would imagine
:24:58. > :25:03.Kyles Athletic had the experience of playing a big occasion but there
:25:03. > :25:13.is more experience in the Newtonmore team. I am surprised at
:25:13. > :25:18.
:25:18. > :25:28.how they are letting Newtonmore take these shops. -- Take these
:25:28. > :25:38.
:25:38. > :25:44.- grazing his flag. We know there is a stiff breeze at and it will be
:25:44. > :25:49.a demanding 90 minutes. This is one of the biggest pitches you have got
:25:49. > :25:55.so it will take its toll. Maybe in the second half you will see Cal
:25:56. > :26:05.that lactic coming more into the game with fit ness. Newtonmore are
:26:06. > :26:16.
:26:16. > :26:26.also fit but they are bigger and and he held back. I think he caught
:26:26. > :26:27.
:26:27. > :26:33.himself in the face of there. was nothing intentional there. He
:26:33. > :26:40.tried to hook the ball. This, I would imagine, you can see it there,
:26:40. > :26:45.just the tail end. Trying to get the ball. If you can trust me on
:26:45. > :26:49.this one, it is not as bad as it looks I do not think. It is one of
:26:50. > :26:59.these little injuries at a pressure point but that it leads a little
:27:00. > :27:01.
:27:01. > :27:09.bit more than you may expect. A big crowd on the bank, on the hill. A
:27:09. > :27:14.fantastic feel and a great atmosphere. I suspect Kyles
:27:14. > :27:20.Athletic have the hell at the moment. I do not know what we
:27:20. > :27:26.should call it? They may have squatters right by the end of the
:27:26. > :27:35.game. Some of the local fans would take delight in telling me what it
:27:35. > :27:43.is called. It is important that Newtonmore when the centre line
:27:43. > :27:53.battle. If Kyles Athletic feed the ball into the wider areas they will
:27:53. > :28:02.be more of a threat. These are the trophy is. It was donated in 1947.
:28:02. > :28:12.A lovely trophy and very highly regarded. Mr Irvine back with us,
:28:12. > :28:39.
:28:39. > :28:44.They know how to work their way through a cup final. He will not be
:28:44. > :28:54.happy with that. He had more time than he thought. That was a wasted
:28:54. > :28:59.
:28:59. > :29:04.ball. It should have been a short ball. He there is an injury with or
:29:04. > :29:11.Newtonmore player now. That seems to have been a tackle after the
:29:11. > :29:21.original incident. A separate the tackle. Jamie Robinson seems to
:29:21. > :29:33.
:29:33. > :29:35.have taken a knock. He seems to need to get the ball and hold it.
:29:35. > :29:45.That is where the cows are athletic effort at the moment is falling
:29:45. > :29:55.down. Danny MacRae is being given far too much room by the Kyles
:29:55. > :30:25.
:30:25. > :30:32.Athletic defence. I am sure they with the ball yet. Danny MacRae is
:30:32. > :30:37.coming in across the full forward. He is not going to have the pace
:30:37. > :30:44.there for the full 90 minutes. is a better ball looking for Roddy
:30:44. > :30:54.Macdonald. A big hand from the Newtonmore support for that tidy
:30:54. > :30:57.
:30:57. > :31:02.play. Here again is another chance. Look at how quickly Newtonmore turn.
:31:02. > :31:08.That was another opportunity. It came all the way from the back,
:31:08. > :31:14.from Rory Kennedy. That is another opportunity. They are racking up
:31:14. > :31:21.the opportunities now. Rory Kennedy did very well at the back there
:31:22. > :31:28.getting the ball forward. minutes almost gone. The weight of
:31:28. > :31:33.play with Newtonmore at the moment. There were great double saves from
:31:33. > :31:42.Kenny Macdonald. At the other end really the goalkeeper, Michael
:31:42. > :31:49.Ritchie, has not been troubled. He is at fairly relaxed figure at the
:31:49. > :31:58.far right hand side as we watch the game. He was suspended last week
:31:58. > :32:06.for his red card. Back in the team in place of Sean MacQuarrie.
:32:06. > :32:16.MacArthur is striking the ball well from the touchline. The two manic
:32:16. > :32:23.Kyles tactic. One man to deal with it and one man to set it off. That
:32:23. > :32:33.is about foul to give away there. did not see a great deal wrong with
:32:33. > :32:34.
:32:34. > :32:44.it, to be honest. There speaks a defender! Appear she in the back.
:32:44. > :32:45.
:32:45. > :32:55.Robbie Macleod is taking it across. -- approve should then be back. --
:32:55. > :32:59.
:32:59. > :33:07.a push in the back. A decent opportunity for Kyles. I Bury shop
:33:07. > :33:17.of the crowd in the background. -- I debate shot of the crowd in the
:33:17. > :33:20.
:33:20. > :33:25.background. -- a great shot. Do you think Kyles are finding it
:33:25. > :33:29.difficult to play into the wind? think it is more and that
:33:29. > :33:38.Newtonmore are putting them under pressure, making it difficult for
:33:38. > :33:47.them to play. Too many people up there today who are not here. All
:33:47. > :33:55.the stars of the 70s and 80s I see here. Many are encouraging their
:33:55. > :34:01.sons in many cases. Untidy play from both sides just below as here.
:34:01. > :34:11.A good opportunity again for a Kyles to pick something up. They
:34:11. > :34:16.have come from Tighnabruaich of course. This is a team on the rise,
:34:16. > :34:23.without a shadow of a doubt. They have won a cup in the bag this year
:34:23. > :34:28.already. Maybe just a little bit direct, but that has given the
:34:28. > :34:38.tiles fans a lift. They have not had too many chances in the last
:34:38. > :34:45.week while. They are trying to play a mobile forward. Michael Ritchie
:34:45. > :34:52.is very careful on his post. 20 minutes gone, Kyles Athletic in the
:34:52. > :35:02.blue shirts, Newtonmore in the blue and Whyte hoops. No score it.

:36:04. > :36:05.
:36:05. > :36:10.goodness me! -- a save. I think that is exactly what Michael
:36:10. > :36:20.Ritchie needed. An absolutely cracking save. That is what he
:36:20. > :36:22.
:36:22. > :36:30.needed. Thomas Whyte with the best chance yet. He was up to speed on
:36:30. > :36:40.it. That will have given them a lift. Just below as is a PC

:36:49. > :36:55.off, it was a fantastic save. Given that he has been suspended it will
:36:55. > :37:01.give his confidence and a great boost. The keepers are matching
:37:01. > :37:07.each other save for save at the moment. That keeps the scoresheet
:37:07. > :37:11.blank unfortunately for us but it does give us plenty to talk about.
:37:11. > :37:21.There is an indication that Kyles are beginning to get a grip of the
:37:21. > :37:22.
:37:22. > :37:32.game. Just getting a bit of guidance. The goalkeeper does not
:37:32. > :37:35.
:37:35. > :37:43.like to be crowded. He likes to see the ball coming at him. That man
:37:43. > :37:51.cleverly got his body between the tiles player and the ball. We have
:37:51. > :37:57.an injury in midfield. Zavaroni has gone down in the middle of midfield.
:37:57. > :38:02.I am not sure where that was sustained. The tackles were so far
:38:02. > :38:09.apart and the ball was transferred so quickly he did not seem to catch
:38:09. > :38:14.anything. He seems to have got and knock on the ankle. He is a player
:38:14. > :38:20.they will not want to lose. He has been a big part of the success
:38:20. > :38:30.Kyles have had this season. He does a lot of hard work. I think he is
:38:30. > :38:37.OK. Just a little not there. Zavaroni is on the fringe of the
:38:37. > :38:47.Scotland pool. There is a very pleasant breeze. Shirtsleeves and
:38:47. > :38:48.
:38:48. > :38:54.sunglasses. No midges so far. Sandy Macvicar had to be very, very

:40:25. > :40:31.Macdonald gets a corner. 25 minutes gone and still no score. It is
:40:31. > :40:40.pretty even. Kenny Macdonald has made at least three good saves.

:40:50. > :40:51.
:40:51. > :40:56.-- maybe four. That was not far away! You said earlier there are no
:40:56. > :41:00.goals in this team from midfield, that is a good example. That is
:41:00. > :41:06.exactly what they will do, they will bomb up and down the pitch
:41:06. > :41:10.will be, they have got the pace, the speed and the threat. Michael
:41:10. > :41:16.Ritchie looked cool dealing with that, I do not think I would have

:49:26. > :49:36.surprising. But the rolling subs can be used as a tactic. It looks

:11:30. > :11:31.
:11:32. > :11:34.but let us talk about today's game. Tiles had dominance through the
:11:35. > :11:40.middle of the first half but Newtonmore are being brought back
:11:40. > :11:50.in. With Newtonmore's strong hitting you would think they could
:11:50. > :11:50.
:11:50. > :11:54.end Kyles back. This is a big pitch, Kyles are a fit and fast running
:11:54. > :12:00.teams. Newtonmore are hit the ball much further and are more physical.
:12:00. > :12:05.How do you think the match is going to turn out? I think Newtonmore are
:12:05. > :12:10.the favourites. Kyles have to get there are good guys on the end of
:12:10. > :12:16.the chances, they must finish them. If they get chances taking the
:12:16. > :12:26.could come right back into the game. Thank you very much indeed. Let us
:12:26. > :12:42.
:12:42. > :12:52.the action. The teams are. The referee has been the coolest person
:12:52. > :12:57.
:12:57. > :13:07.on the park so far. He is getting the second half under way. The team
:13:07. > :13:12.
:13:12. > :13:16.in the hoops took the lead in the first half. The Norman Campbell
:13:16. > :13:26.saved on the goal line kept Newtonmore ahead just before half
:13:26. > :13:29.
:13:29. > :13:34.time. Both teams are as they were in the first half. Newtonmore are
:13:34. > :13:40.looking for a penalty but there are no takers from the match officials.
:13:40. > :13:50.It will be interesting to see how the wind is used to Newtonmore a's
:13:50. > :13:57.
:13:57. > :14:03.advantage from left to right as we watch it. There is another shot.
:14:03. > :14:09.Kenny Macdonald had to look lively. It is that man making the again.
:14:09. > :14:16.Fraser Mackenzie has caused a lot of trouble since he came on. He has
:14:16. > :14:21.had another opportunity. They have got the goal advantage and the wind,
:14:21. > :14:31.there is a psychological advantage for Newtonmore now. The need to get
:14:31. > :14:48.
:14:48. > :14:54.another goal because there are been in the wars. I nudge in the
:14:54. > :15:04.next. He took an head knock in the first half which needed a bit of
:15:04. > :15:14.
:15:14. > :15:22.their heels at the moment. They need to up the pace. The need to
:15:22. > :15:26.try something different. As we look at the pitch, we can see the
:15:26. > :15:36.Newtonmore half-backs are right up to the halfway line. They have
:15:36. > :15:54.
:15:54. > :15:58.back to midfield. Andrew King gets it away. We have not really seen
:15:59. > :16:07.Grant Irvine at his best to to today. A few glances perhaps but
:16:07. > :16:17.not enough to push David Zavaroni forward now. They have made a
:16:17. > :16:27.tactical switch. David Zavaroni has moved forward. You will see a the
:16:27. > :16:28.
:16:28. > :16:38.red head-in the middle. If they can just move the ball quicker against
:16:38. > :17:07.
:17:07. > :17:15.and awaiting his time. He has the strength to do that. He is a big
:17:15. > :17:23.and strong player. There was an opportunity to play through.
:17:23. > :17:30.Whether he knew it was there, I am not sure. They are looking stronger
:17:30. > :17:40.at this stage. That was a fifty- fifty ball in the air. The player's
:17:40. > :17:48.momentum, nothing in that. Not at all. There was no intent. A few
:17:48. > :17:58.years ago they would have been plenty of intent, but not now.
:17:58. > :18:07.
:18:07. > :18:16.look for from Roddy MacDonald. On the ball at pace driving into the
:18:16. > :18:21.defence. He will drive on from the centre line. Another thing that is
:18:21. > :18:31.part of the change, Jamie Robinson has been lined man of the match so
:18:31. > :18:44.
:18:44. > :18:53.Richie clears it well. This could have been a very expensive mistake
:18:53. > :19:03.but Norman Campbell, being a good full-back, came to his aid and
:19:03. > :19:40.
:19:40. > :19:47.found his own man. That was a solid challenge but he is up straight
:19:47. > :19:52.away. The Roddy MacDonald, on his feet straight away. That is
:19:52. > :19:57.marvellous athleticism to see someone take a tackle like that and
:19:57. > :20:02.be up straight away. He will take a knock and get back up. He is an
:20:02. > :20:12.outstanding player. The ball moved a good 20 or 30 yards after the
:20:12. > :20:47.
:20:47. > :20:57.tackle and he was after it like a forward. Danny MacRae with a swipe

:22:41. > :22:47.
:22:47. > :22:57.for Kyles Athletic. I think it came off a foot. Kyles Athletic begin to
:22:57. > :23:23.
:23:23. > :23:33.trying to hold him back. This was the incident. Just a little mad.

:24:22. > :24:50.
:24:50. > :25:00.now. Cows have let the need to pick footballer as well. You can see
:25:00. > :25:08.
:25:08. > :25:11.that in his tactical approach to to the midfield. It is probably as
:25:11. > :25:21.well for Fraser Mackintosh that he missed that. If he had brought it

:26:51. > :26:56.performance. He will play until he drops. He is almost playing like a
:26:56. > :27:06.sweeper at the moment. It is a tactical change they had to make.
:27:06. > :27:11.
:27:11. > :27:19.They try to play through Jamie is the second time I have seen

:29:27. > :29:31.4th official on the halfway line. He is coming on. Interesting to see

:29:41. > :29:45.
:29:45. > :29:52.obvious to anyone. Here we are. It is Jamie Robinson. A As we thought,
:29:52. > :30:02.the legs are tiring a little bit. He possibly have run out of a bit
:30:02. > :30:07.
:30:07. > :30:11.of steam but he put in a cracking take one or strike. Goals in
:30:11. > :30:21.abundance but none has so far this afternoon. This is where fatigue
:30:21. > :30:28.
:30:29. > :30:37.heat. Are we are beyond the hour mark. Less than half-an-hour to go.
:30:37. > :30:47.It is punishing out there. Very, very warm. The wind has died down.
:30:47. > :30:48.
:30:48. > :30:54.Conditions are perfect for shinty. I do to tackle by Zavaroni. He
:30:54. > :31:01.blasts a ate up the wing. There is a little bit much on it. The
:31:01. > :31:05.referee is having a word with a Zavaroni. I am not sure what that
:31:05. > :31:15.is about. He might have said something to the official on the
:31:15. > :31:32.
:31:32. > :31:39.Goodness me! Goodness me! No steps? Mackintosh should get away from
:31:39. > :31:44.there. It is getting a bit wild. It is getting a bit ragged in the
:31:44. > :31:50.middle of there. Eventually derrick Cameron has called a halt. Derrick
:31:50. > :32:00.Cameron has got to calm this down. Let us see what derrick Cameron is
:32:00. > :32:01.
:32:01. > :32:08.making about this. Boys. Pan down. I know, it was nothing. Get on with
:32:08. > :32:14.it. -- calm down. I think the referee to have dealt with that
:32:14. > :32:18.right at the start when the player was standing over the ball. He
:32:18. > :32:25.could have stopped play there. Obviously somebody was going to
:32:25. > :32:35.come in and take a swing. A bit of pushing and shoving but not a lot
:32:35. > :32:35.
:32:35. > :32:45.in it. You see that in all the towns at the weekend. Cameron wants
:32:45. > :32:45.
:32:45. > :32:51.everyone to get on with it. So do we. No surprise there then. The
:32:51. > :33:00.coolest man on the park. I thing he will have more have to deal with
:33:00. > :33:10.before the end of the game. Piles have to react. They are 1-0 down. -
:33:10. > :33:10.
:33:10. > :33:20.- Kyles have to react. The referee dismissed it as handbags.
:33:20. > :33:31.
:33:31. > :33:36.minutes gone. Newtonmore one, Kyles That is what we have to call him at
:33:36. > :33:46.the moment. It has been the only goal of the game and it was a
:33:46. > :33:50.
:33:50. > :33:55.beauty. No quarter given or asked at this stage. We would not expect
:33:55. > :34:05.it to be anything else. Excellent from Cameroon Bennie, cleaving his
:34:05. > :34:07.
:34:07. > :34:13.line. I am with the Kyles coach on the sidelines, it is getting a
:34:13. > :34:17.little bit testy out there? Things are becoming more physical. We are
:34:17. > :34:22.becoming involved in the physical side of the game rather than
:34:22. > :34:30.sticking to our plan of getting to Ball's first. We need to get back
:34:30. > :34:36.to the basics like we were doing in the first half. At the moment the
:34:36. > :34:44.forwards are getting very little of the ball. Getting drawn into a
:34:44. > :34:49.physical game with Newtonmore, they will win it? Maybe they could be a
:34:49. > :34:55.little bit stronger with the physical side but we need to start
:34:55. > :35:00.getting to the Ball's first. It is what it is and he is looking to the
:35:00. > :35:10.referee to give his players a little bit of protection. We will
:35:10. > :35:10.
:35:10. > :35:20.maybe come back to that. The ball is on the run. This time again the
:35:20. > :35:22.
:35:22. > :35:26.strength of a Rory Kennedy for such a young player is fantastic.
:35:27. > :35:32.Mackenzie lets fly. Looked at in trying to get at the ball. He has a
:35:32. > :35:39.won at corner. John Mackenzie has had a fantastic impact on the game,
:35:39. > :35:48.even above the goal, he has worked hard to put pressure on Kyles.
:35:48. > :35:58.Absolutely. I thought he might have got a penalty there but he did not.
:35:58. > :36:08.An ambitious big hit. It did not work for John Mackenzie that time.
:36:08. > :36:10.
:36:10. > :36:14.That was as likely wasted chance. - - a slightly wasted chance. Norman
:36:14. > :36:21.McArthur the Newtonmore coaches with me on the sidelines. You must
:36:21. > :36:25.be fairly pleased with the way it is going? They are obviously the
:36:25. > :36:35.effect her side but I think we are stronger. We need to get that
:36:35. > :36:36.
:36:36. > :36:42.second goal at to tell the game off. -- Celt the game off. Do you think
:36:42. > :36:52.the game needs to be stronger? Certainly not. Shinty is a man's
:36:52. > :36:56.game. In the first have you said you might make changes and you get,
:36:56. > :37:06.that man came on and scored the goal, any other change is coming
:37:06. > :37:06.
:37:06. > :37:13.up? No. An interesting analysis. It is a man's game. I think he is
:37:13. > :37:19.right about the referee. Far too many referees these days what they
:37:19. > :37:24.at all! It is a physical game and Norman MacArthur is right. You are
:37:24. > :37:30.maybe making an bit too much of it. There was an incident earlier than
:37:30. > :37:39.the referee could have dealt with. There is a McDonald's down the wing.
:37:39. > :37:49.He has been well pleased today. Steven MacDonald, a clever move. He
:37:49. > :37:55.
:37:55. > :38:05.is hearing down the wing. He is running out of puff now. Zavaroni.
:38:05. > :38:07.
:38:07. > :38:16.A bit of creativity in midfield, Zavaroni. Irvine of. A spare man in
:38:16. > :38:26.midfield from Kyles. Good play from 10. The keeper had to put his hand
:38:26. > :38:26.
:38:26. > :38:34.to it, it is blocked! A chance for Kyles but it is out. That was a
:38:34. > :38:42.good chance. They are getting these chances. Richie should have
:38:42. > :38:49.possibly just not that wide. Even the match officials are having
:38:49. > :38:57.trouble in the sun now. Kyles are looking for a throw-in. Here it
:38:57. > :39:07.comes. Into the heart of the defence. Acute, good chance for
:39:07. > :39:10.
:39:10. > :39:17.Kyles. It was Irvine. Irvine was unlucky. He was unmarked at the
:39:17. > :39:27.back post. That should have been on target. That was room enough to
:39:27. > :39:32.
:39:32. > :39:39.fill stop it needs to count. 10 has got his second win now. That is a
:39:40. > :39:45.good intervention. Irvine at the back. He looks like getting it away
:39:45. > :39:51.but he has got no help. They play and unlucky with the way it came
:39:51. > :39:58.out. In the middle of the field there is some cramp. Cameron Vinay
:39:58. > :40:08.is beginning to feel in the pace. He was down stretching his muscles.
:40:08. > :40:42.

:41:00. > :41:09.getting to John Mackenzie. This is then the best traditions of the

:41:37. > :41:41.from John Mackenzie in 4-4 minutes. hated that goal coming in at his
:41:41. > :41:47.feet after what happened in the first Taff. It is not the ball he
:41:47. > :41:52.would have wanted to deal with but he dealt with it well. The sun was
:41:52. > :41:58.at his back rather than in his eyes, I think that made a difference.
:41:58. > :42:08.Fraser Macdonald, who failed a late fitness test, is standing on the
:42:08. > :42:14.touchline. I wonder if we will see them. Irvine at speed, into the box,
:42:14. > :42:20.of what a tackle from Fraser Mackintosh! A brilliant tackle!
:42:20. > :42:28.Maybe he should have hit it first time? That was a chance, he might

:43:02. > :43:08.at chance for Kyles. Bad marking. Have effect. That was another
:43:08. > :43:13.chance they're, the need to take one of these. Just unlucky. They
:43:13. > :43:19.are getting chances now and the need to take them. The chances are

:43:24. > :43:32.standing as close as they can in front of the keeper trying to put
:43:32. > :43:36.him off. This is all part and parcel of the game. It is an

:43:48. > :43:56.goalkeeper. A hit from MacArthur, Duncan Kerr gets it into the danger

:52:43. > :52:50.understand that one. He is one of their key players for that he is
:52:50. > :53:00.not happy coming off. He is still one of the players you would look
:53:00. > :53:07.
:53:07. > :53:17.at to get back into this game. He that twice. He had to look smartish

:54:51. > :54:55.matter because the goal has been given. A couple of minutes of
:54:55. > :55:04.injury time left and three minutes left on the clock. Here we go again.

:57:34. > :57:44.played in Great spirit. Now, they have to dig deeper than ever. Poole
:57:44. > :57:46.
:57:46. > :57:56.has got the bottle? John MacKenzie goes in. The captain leading from
:57:56. > :58:12.

:58:22. > :58:23.
:58:23. > :58:29.well here. It shows how quickly a shinty match can turn. To will my
:58:29. > :58:36.right, they are ecstatic. To my left, Newtonmore at stand. Goodness
:58:36. > :58:41.me. We have maybe a couple of minutes left. Kyles Athletic have
:58:41. > :58:50.to defend this and Newtonmore have to throw the kitchen sink at it.
:58:50. > :59:00.What a result this is going to be. They have already clinched a kept,
:59:00. > :59:03.
:59:03. > :59:13.the Glasgow Celtic society Cup. The legs are going. The game has gone

:59:16. > :59:25.from Newtonmore and Kyles Athletic have taken the Artemis MacAulay Cup
:59:25. > :59:33.in a most dramatic fashion. Kyles Athletic, a mixture of relief and
:59:33. > :59:38.enjoyment and excitement. How on earth did they pull that off?
:59:38. > :59:45.tough to pick one word for that but it is unbelievable. There were
:59:45. > :59:53.opportunities at both ends. Possibly, Newtonmore were at
:59:53. > :00:03.fatigue in the last 10 minutes. Kyles Athletic net in to take it at
:00:03. > :00:07.
:00:07. > :00:15.the end. Fantastic scenes. I said before today that they would be
:00:15. > :00:25.dancing tonight. Maybe not in Newtonmore. Are bitterly

:00:33. > :00:39.disappointed after a great tactical That was Calum Millar, Fraser
:00:39. > :00:44.Macdonald. A wonderful, wonderful match settled in the most dramatic
:00:44. > :00:50.fashion by Roddy Macdonald and Duncan Kerr who gave Kyles the two
:00:50. > :01:00.goals that is going to take the McAulay Cup home. A glorious
:01:00. > :01:05.afternoon in the organ. Newtonmore one, Kyles Athletic to. -- a
:01:06. > :01:15.glorious afternoon in Oban. What an incredible comeback from Kyles
:01:16. > :01:16.
:01:16. > :01:21.Athletic. They made a remarkable recovery today. Dr A team of
:01:21. > :01:28.tremendous character. Kyles might be the team to dominate for the
:01:28. > :01:35.next few years because they are young and the have the ability.
:01:35. > :01:45.John Mackenzie came on from -- for Newtonmore in the first Taff and
:01:45. > :01:48.
:01:48. > :01:53.got them the advantage. -- first half. He made no mistake. It went
:01:53. > :02:03.into the roof of the net. At that time of the match it was a great
:02:03. > :02:12.
:02:12. > :02:19.One player was saying that Kyles were being drawn into the physical
:02:19. > :02:27.game. They have great character about them, they are never beat.
:02:27. > :02:35.There were a few incidents where there was a bit of heat but it all
:02:35. > :02:39.canned down again and they kept plugging away. It proved that
:02:39. > :02:45.Duncky Kerr was a dangerous player and Roddy Macdonald, the chances
:02:45. > :02:54.fell to them. Roddy Macdonald, come in and speak to us. You must be
:02:54. > :02:58.pretty chuffed with that. Yes, it was amazing. I am speechless will
:02:58. > :03:06.stop I thought it we kept going we might get a goal and we got it
:03:06. > :03:12.right at the death. Yousef you're that had only one winner's medal in
:03:12. > :03:17.his long career and you have delivered another one for him.

:03:43. > :03:49.back handed it into the back of the Our heads never go down. We are a
:03:49. > :03:56.tight bunch of boys, we are all friends and I think it shows a
:03:56. > :04:00.commitment to the team's Bennett. What does this when they mean to
:04:00. > :04:06.you? It is too long since we have been winning things, hopefully we
:04:06. > :04:12.can bring a premier-league home now too. Can that relations, an
:04:12. > :04:19.excellent effort. Let's now have the presentation. It has been too

:04:26. > :04:36.D MacAulay Cup, donated by Mrs Flora Macaulay of the Macaulay

:04:51. > :05:01.times, first played for in 1947, They are calling on the captain to
:05:01. > :05:04.
:05:04. > :05:12.come up first. His team today had no failures. Michael Ritchie, the
:05:12. > :05:16.goalkeeper, Norman Campbell, the disconsolate Newtonmore or players.
:05:16. > :05:25.It is very, very difficult to go through this part of the ceremony
:05:25. > :05:31.when you have given everything and made no mistakes really. They lost
:05:31. > :05:39.their to a fantastic finish and maybe one of these days they will
:05:39. > :05:45.not begrudge it. There is a great respect between both teams. John
:05:45. > :05:50.Mackenzie who got the goal in four to four minutes. That, for such a
:05:50. > :05:56.long time, look like it would get the trophy to Newtonmore. They
:05:56. > :06:00.still have the lead to look forward to. I would not write them off yet.
:06:00. > :06:10.They have the Camanachd Cup final on 17th September to look forward
:06:10. > :06:19.
:06:19. > :06:26.to. The losing captain is being presented. Now the referee, who had
:06:26. > :06:35.a splendid game. The up-and- coming referee of the year, he will
:06:35. > :06:40.forever treasure that title. He's certainly proved today that he can
:06:40. > :06:49.handle the biggest of occasions. He has done an international match
:06:49. > :06:56.already. There is more to come from Mr Cameron. Quite rightly so.
:06:56. > :07:00.Robbie Macleod of Kyles is the man of the match. It is difficult to
:07:00. > :07:08.argue with anybody chosen to Dave really because there were a lot of
:07:08. > :07:14.people who excel. Robin Macleod maybe not one of the biggest names
:07:14. > :07:23.in the Kyles team but he did have power of work in the midfield. Now,
:07:23. > :07:33.the captain, he is not getting his hands on the trophy just yet. Kenny
:07:33. > :07:40.
:07:40. > :07:50.Macdonald it. -- Kenny Macdonald picking up his medal. Donald Irvine.
:07:50. > :07:55.
:07:55. > :08:00.The rest of the defenders. Every man on tired legs, I can tell. They
:08:00. > :08:07.are quick enough to be able to step up on to a little stage that has
:08:08. > :08:17.been created. It doesn't stop Grant Irvine who was disappointed when he
:08:18. > :08:22.
:08:23. > :08:27.was taken off in no doubt. That is not the last medal he will get. The
:08:28. > :08:33.substitutes who did not get on, unfortunately for them, they did
:08:33. > :08:42.not get a game, but at the end of the day the substitutes were used
:08:42. > :08:52.well. Now the big moment. Dumping her lips D MacAulay Cup for a Kyles
:08:52. > :09:03.
:09:03. > :09:12.Athletic. -- Duncan Kerr lifts D MacAulay Cup for Kyles Athletic.
:09:12. > :09:17.Our floor manager is a hard man. This man wants to go and celebrate
:09:17. > :09:22.but he has been brought to us. How does it feel? Unbelievable, I
:09:22. > :09:28.cannot describe how did it is. got to Newtonmore it had the match,
:09:28. > :09:34.you were getting drawn into a physical battle, but you manage to
:09:34. > :09:41.pull it out the back. We were struggling but we managed to pull
:09:41. > :09:45.it back and get the goals in the end. The showing designs in the
:09:45. > :09:51.Scottish Cup final when they came back to making it the each and were
:09:52. > :09:59.unlucky to lose it for a-3. They have got the trophies to show what
:09:59. > :10:04.they can do. To be honest I thought our chance had gone because I was
:10:04. > :10:08.then and had messed, the ball came back out and went through a few
:10:08. > :10:15.players, I was glad to see it hitting the back of the net. What
:10:15. > :10:20.does it feel like to win that trophy, undoubtedly your tea man on
:10:20. > :10:26.the up, you must have great confidence going forward. -- your
:10:26. > :10:32.team are on the up. It does give us confidence but we have a small
:10:32. > :10:37.squad compared to other teams. To have got so far is unbelievable,
:10:37. > :10:42.but we will keep fighting to the end. I will let you go back to your
:10:42. > :10:51.team to celebrate but congratulations. Well done.
:10:51. > :10:56.Excellent effort. What can you say about Duncky Kerr? A little guy up
:10:56. > :11:03.against big men in Newtonmore. He turned it around a do get them back
:11:03. > :11:09.in the match and it was that 2-1 victory. Now, the man-of-the-match,
:11:09. > :11:16.how does that feel? It is great. We dug in and tell the end and did not
:11:16. > :11:23.give up. We thought you were out of this. We just did not get up, we
:11:23. > :11:27.got going right to the end and got what we deserve. You were a wee bit
:11:27. > :11:32.smash-and-grab at the end but that does not matter, it will go down in
:11:32. > :11:37.the end that you guys won the trophy. I thought we thoroughly
:11:37. > :11:43.deserved it. What about your goalkeeper? He has been around for
:11:43. > :11:48.a long time. He just keeps doing it, he keeps going, he to be here
:11:48. > :11:55.another year yet. Do you think Quest at work he puts the average
:11:55. > :12:02.age of the team up! He is still fabulous, as he has still got it,
:12:03. > :12:08.still as the eye. Well done. Let us put this in context. With that
:12:08. > :12:14.young team doing so well, two trophies this season, a great
:12:14. > :12:19.future for them? They are very bright. Sometimes you get the
:12:19. > :12:24.ability and not the attitude but they have got it all going for them.
:12:24. > :12:29.There they can keep showing the discipline and key their fitness up,
:12:29. > :12:36.then it is all the it for them to take. Now let us get Kenny
:12:36. > :12:41.Macdonald in here just now. Congratulations. We believe it is
:12:42. > :12:46.your second winner's title in a fairly long career? Two in 30 years
:12:46. > :12:50.is not very good! I am glad to get that today. It did not look like
:12:50. > :12:56.coming on a long while but I thought it be to get one goal there
:12:56. > :13:02.would be a chance. And you live is the one who got the winner. He is
:13:02. > :13:12.fairly good at that I have to say. I was never did at getting yet in
:13:12. > :13:15.
:13:15. > :13:22.the net. You are certainly good at keeping it out. Congratulations.
:13:22. > :13:27.Thoroughly deserved. Well played. Did man. Newtonmore, the Camanachd
:13:27. > :13:34.final is coming up, defeated finalists here, will that make them
:13:34. > :13:39.more determined? I think so. They got beat today but they are in the
:13:39. > :13:44.finals against their biggest rivals and they still have a chance of the
:13:44. > :13:51.week. They still have a lot to play for this season's. Do not forget
:13:51. > :13:56.the Camanachd Cup final is coming up on 17th September. It will be
:13:56. > :14:02.live here on BBC Two Scotland. The defeated finalists today take on
:14:02. > :14:09.their great rivals Kingussie will stop right now, however, you can
