The quarter final draw for the 2023 Camanachd Cup was made earlier today at Inverness Castle – building up to the 100th final taking place at Bught Park in September.
Beauly have been given a home draw, albeit not an easy one, as they go up against 2021 winners Kinlochshiel.
Lovat's opponents, though, are still yet to be determined as they will be making a trip to either Kyles Athletic or Bute.
Completing the last eight is a home match for Caberfeidh against defending champions Kingussie, and a tie in Glasgow between GMA and Oban Camanachd.
Quarter final matches are due to be played on Saturday, July 8.
Steven MacKenzie, Camanachd Association President said: “It was my pleasure to be at the draw this afternoon alongside Sandy and Innes from Tulloch Homes.
"This year’s final will mark 100 years since the first Camanachd Cup Final in Inverness and after this draw I know there will be real excitement amongst clubs and fans alike!
"There are a lot of exciting ties, with a tricky away tie in store for 2022 finalists Lovat against either Kyles Athletic or Bute.
"Beauly and Caberfeidh will each be looking to repeat the success they had earlier this season against Kinlochshiel and Kingussie respectively, while there is certain to be a south team in the semi finals as Oban Camanachd travel to Peterson Park to play GMA.
"My thanks, as ever go to Tulloch Homes for their support and I would like to wish all the teams the very best of luck.”
Tulloch Homes managing director Sandy Grant said: “We're delighted to continue our support of the Camanachd Cup and look forward to the upcoming quarter final matches.
"Shinty is an important part of the Scottish sporting heritage and we're proud to be able to play a role in helping to keep it thriving.
"I know the shinty community will be looking forward to many of the matches not least, holders Kingussie’s match against Caberfeidh.
"We wish all the teams the best of luck and can't wait to see who comes out on top in the end."
