Final flourish
Oban Camanachd's goal-scoring data reveals a clear surge in attacking productivity in the latter stages of each half. While they start strong, scoring consistently in the first 45 minutes (28 goals), their attack becomes particularly potent after the 60th minute, netting 27 goals. The highest-scoring period is between the 60th and 75th minutes, with 14 goals, followed closely by the final 15 minutes with 13 goals. This pattern suggests a team that builds momentum and finishes matches with a strong final push.

Must stay focused...
Oban Camanachd's defensive performance indicates vulnerability as matches progress. Early in games, they concede very few goals, just two in the first 30 minutes. However, their defence weakens significantly after the 30th minute, allowing 22 goals thereafter. The most critical period is the final 15 minutes, where they concede 10 goals, more than any other time frame. This trend suggests fatigue or loss of concentration, making them susceptible to late-game pressure.


Start and finish strongly
Kingussie's goal-scoring data showcases a strong and consistent offensive performance throughout matches. They begin with 22 goals in the first 30 minutes and maintain a high level of output across all periods. The most prolific periods are the 30-45 minute mark and the final 15 minutes, with 17 and 16 goals respectively. This indicates a team capable of scoring early and sustaining pressure, while also finishing games with powerful attacking momentum.

Vulnerabilities at the start and end
Kingussie's defensive record highlights a strong and resilient backline after the initial 15 minutes. They concede 10 goals early, suggesting some vulnerability at the start. However, they tighten up significantly, allowing just six goals over the next 60 minutes. The final 15 minutes show a slight dip in defensive strength, with five goals conceded. Overall, Kingussie demonstrates robust defensive capabilities, particularly in the middle stages of a match.
Clark the spark for Camanachd
Malcolm Clark is again proving to be Oban Camanachd's most prolific forward. Having already bagged two goals in the Celtic Final this campaign, he will be looking to add to his tally come Saturday!

Hurricane - Dylan (1975)
Dylan Borthwick has hit an incredible 36 goals so far this campaign, tied with Craig Morrison for the most in senior shinty in 2024. He isn't the only threat in the Kingussie forward line though, as proven by Savio Genini's match winning double in the cottages.com MacTavish Cup Final earlier this season.

Kings in form
Kingussie are the form team coming into Saturday's final with just a 2-2 draw against neighbours Newtonmore blotting their copybook. A lot of this season has been hit and miss for the holders this campaign, however, they will take inspiration from their performance in the final last year as they look to retain the trophy.
