Ferguson Transport & Shipping Game of the Week - Kilmallie vs Glasgow Mid Argyll

Innes Blackhall Interview

The Ferguson Transport & Shipping Balliemore Cup returns this weekend, as the holders Glasgow Mid Argyll make the trip up north to face Kilmallie. Ahead of the match, we spoke to Kilmallie’s Innes Blackhall.

You welcome Glasgow Mid Argyll to Caol in the Balliemore Cup this weekend. How do you see the game going?

We are confident going into this weekend against Glasgow. We know it’s going to be a tough game but the boys have been putting in the work so hopefully that’s enough to get us into the next round.

Looking forward to next week, you make the short journey to An Aird to take on Fort William in the Camanchd Cup. How are you looking forward to this match?

I always look forward to a local derby. This will be a big test for us as Fort William have had a good start to the season but I still feel that on our day we can beat them comfortably.

After a slow start, Kilmallie have shown this season they know where the back of the net is – what has been key in this turnaround?

We have moved a few players positions this season to try different things and now it is all starting to come together. But I think the main reason is that Shaggy has started to pass the ball a lot more!

You were included in the National TOTS last season – how did it feel to receive this recognition, and how have you looked to build on it?

It’s always nice to be recognised for the TOTS. In terms of building on that, I just try and train as much as I can and stay injury free.
