Glasgow Mid Argyll knocked out Camanachd Cup

Tulloch Homes Camanachd Cup – quarter finals

 

Glasgow Mid Argyll 2 Oban Camanachd 3 

 

They may have travelled south with a depleted squad, but Oban Camanachd did enough to secure a place in the Tulloch Homes Camanachd Cup semi-finals courtesy of a 3-2 win over Glasgow Mid Argyll in their 3pm throw up at Peterson Park.

 

The Oban side broke the deadlock on 21 minutes. Daniel MacCuish’s shot was saved with his feet by Jonathon Oates and the ball spun into the air. However, Ross Macmillan, running away from goal, did well to flick the ball back into the net to notch a debut goal.

 

GMA’s response was immediate, and they levelled within a minute. The goal came into the avoidable category from an Oban Camanachd perspective as first, Daniel Sloss missed the chance to clear his lines; then Calum McLay spun his marker and ran goalwards from the wing.

 

McLay hit the ball too far ahead and keeper Cammy Sutherland tried to play the by him rather than put it out of play and McLay regained possession to score.

 

Referee Iain Kennedy awarded Oban Camanachd a penalty when Lewis Cameron was bundled over inside the D. Daniel MacCuish struck the penalty well enough, but keeper Oates got his body behind the ball to save.

 

MacCuish was soon to make amends, scoring twice in a three-minute period on 36 and 38 minutes.

 

His first was really well worked as MacCuish played the ball wide for Lewis Cameron to run onto and Cameron played the ball first-time, back to Daniel MacCuish who crashed a shot home from between the penalty spot and the D.

 

The next goal was always going to be important and when Daniel MacCuish’s shot took a deflection off John Don MacKenzie and nestled in the net, Oban Camanachd led 3-1 at the break.

 

GMA came back again and Calum McLay got his second on 52 minutes, volleying home a rebound after a Cammy Sutherland save.

 

Oban Camanachd did have the ball in the net once more when Lewis Cameron crossed low and hard into the danger area from the left and Ross Macmillan ran in to send the ball into the net, taking a blow to the knew from John Don MacKenzie’s swing in the process. However, referee Kennedy ruled the effort out after consulting the goal judge.
