LOVAT will look to continue their winning start to shinty’s Premiership season when they face champions Kingussie at the top of the table clash at The Dell.

The Kiltarlity outfit have got their season off to a perfect start as they won their first two matches of the campaign.

After a 3-2 win over Glenurquhart on the opening day of the season, they came out on top with a 4-3 win against Caberfeidh in Strathpeffer last Saturday.

Kingussie are top of the table on goal difference as they have yet to concede a goal.

A 1-0 victory over Kinlochshiel was followed by a 2-0 win against Glenurquhart at Drumnadrochit last week.

Glenurquhart will be looking for their first point of the season when they travel to Lochaber.

It has been a tough start for Glenurquhart, facing the top two teams in the league so far, losing to Kingussie and Lovat on the opening day.

Glenurquhart finished second to Lochaber in the National Division last season as both teams won promotion to the top flight.

In North Division One, league leaders Glengarry will look to maintain their 100 per cent record when they travel to Newtonmore.

Glengarry have impressed in their opening two matches including cruising to a 5-0 win over Inverness in Invergarry last week. Nick Dalgety scored twice with Steven Cameron, Billy Benhach and Matthew Ross also finding the net.

Inverness host Glenurquhart, with Beauly taking on Strathglass, Kinlochshiel on Fort William and Lovat face Skye.
