2026 Highland Industrial Supplies Sutherland Cup Draw
The draw for the 2026 Highland Industrial Supplies Sutherland Cup was made today at Highland Industrial Supplies Offices in Inverness by Garry Mackintosh Director, Highland Industrial Supplies and Ruari Davidson,Camanachd Association CEO.
The draw comes on the back of the news that Highland Industrial Supplies have extended their partnership with the Camanachd Association through the Sutherland Cup to 2027.
Burton Morrison, Camanachd Association President said:
“I would like to thank Highland Industrial Supplies for their continued commitment to the Sutherland Cup and for agreeing this new sponsorship arrangement through to 2027. Their long-standing support has played a significant role in enhancing the professionalism and stature of the final, helping to elevate the occasion even more. The Sutherland Cup remains the most prestigious prize in junior shinty, and Highland Industrial Supplies investment has ensured the competition is showcased in a manner worthy of its history and importance. On behalf of the Camanachd Association, I wish all teams the very best of luck in the draw and in the campaign ahead.”
In speaking of the draw, Garry Mackintosh, Highland Industrial Supplies Director said, “It gives us great pleasure to continue our sponsorship of the Sutherland Cup until 2027, that year will mark eight years of support for junior shinty’s premium cup competition. The sport of shinty is intrinsically linked to the Highlands of Scotland where we operate and it is of great importance to many of our customers, suppliers and employees so it is a natural fit for Highland Industrial Supplies. Since we began sponsoring the competition outright there have been some incredible finals to take place at Blairbeg Park with Sutherland Cup Finals averaging more than 6 goals a game during that period. I am sure we will be in for another exciting edition of this famous competition in 2026.”
