Beauly and Inverness teenagers selected for North shinty squad
FOUR Beauly players have been called up to the North shinty squad to take on the South in Fort William.
Calum Macivar, Ian MacLauchlan, Finlay Maclennan and Lennox Stewart have been called up to play in the North under-14 team to play in the Fraser MacPhee Memorial Cup on Sunday.
Ian Hunter from Inverness Shinty Club has also been selected for the squad.
In the under-17 squad Cameron Bremner from Glenurquhart and Alastair Maclean of Strathglass have been selected.
Earlier this year, Bremner was named as one of the country’s brightest shinty prospects after receiving the top award at a national shinty development camp.
He was named player of the camp out of 74 youngsters from clubs across Scotland who trained at Strathallan School in Perthshire.
Camanachd Association youth director Willie MacDonald said: “The coaches across all four squads have had some tough choices to make in selecting this year’s squad.
“There is undoubtedly an abundance of talent.
“It is also especially pleasing to see the progression of a number of players have made from under-14 to under-17 and then to the under-21 national squad over the past few years.
“So the importance of this event to a player’s pathway is clear to see.”
The under-14 match takes place at noon with the under-17 encounter at 2pm on Wednesday.
