Balgate next weekend.
Manager Fraser Gallacher will not be getting ahead of himself with his focus fixed firmly on tomorrow’s clash against Michael Delaney’s side.
“We have scored 21 goals in five games so we know that we will cause Lochaber problems,” he said.
“With the pace and the movement that we have up front I think teams are still trying to figure out how to cope best with us.
He added: “It will be difficult to choose who we will put in the starting 12.
“In previous years the team has picked itself but it is good to have a number of different bodies available.
“Lochaber are a sticky team, they have some good players and beat us at Balgate which ended our title challenge last season.
“We know not to underestimate them.
“But we have the stickwork and ability upfront to cause them problems.”
