lead at the break.

 

Scott MacVicar had the chance to add a third from the penalty spot but didn’t strike the ball as well as he would have liked and Lochaber keeper Calum MacDonald saved.

The point could yet prove crucial in the title race as Lochaber are a point off the top spot but they have a game in hand on leaders Glenurquhart who they meet at Spean Bridge a week on Saturday.
