Lovat were unable to field a team for their scheduled clash against Caberfeidh at Balgate.
Glenurquhart’s clash with Kilmallie at Drumnadrochit was also called off due to the visitors being unable to find players.
Kinlochshiel against Lochaber was called off due to a waterlogged pitch at Balmacara.
Only one match took place in the North Leagues with Newtonmore beating Inverness 3–1.
Steven Bellshaw gave Inverness the lead after 25 minutes but Craig Macleod levelled for Newtonmore five minutes before half time.
The hosts stamped their authority on the game in the second half with Tristan Ross and Brodie MacBean scoring in the second half to give Newtonmore the points.
Only two other league matches took place across the country last weekend.
Ardnamurchan and Kilmory played out a 2–2 draw in the Central League while Bute defeated Col Glen 3–2 in the South League.
