Fans decide 2022 MOWI National Team of the Season
The shinty community have chosen their MOWI National Team of the Season with representation from 4 of the 8 clubs making up the 12 players and manager.
In order to narrow down the vast pool of talent to just 12 names, every MOWI National Captain was asked to name their own team of the season which was not allowed to contain any players from their club. From that, the most popular names in each position were then put to Twitter poll with victorious players making the team.
After almost 5,000 votes were cast, the team of the season was confirmed to be:
Goal Keeper: Scott MacLachlan (Inveraray)
Full Back: John Gillies (Skye)
Wing Back: Ryan MacKay (Beauly)
Wing Back: James Morrison (Skye)
Half Back: William MacKinnon (Skye)
Full Centre: Ross MacKinnon (Skye)
Wing Centre: Conor Ross (Beauly)
Wing Centre: Ali MacLean (Glenurquhart)
Half Forward: Ross Gordon (Skye)
Wing Forward: Jordan Murchison (Skye)
Wing Forward: Ross Forbes (Beauly)
Full Forward: James Pringle (Skye)
Manager: Niall MacLennan & Gregor MacCormick (Beauly)
Perhaps unsurprisingly after winning the league, Skye were the most heavily represented club with 7 players coming from the island club.
