The Camanachd Association and cottages.com are delighted to present the draw for the 1st Round of the 2022 MacTavish Cup. Many of the sides in today’s draw will be setting their sights on the 11th of June Final at Bught Park, however, today’s draw threw up some ties which should make the road to the final a fascinating one.
The draw was conducted by Lucy and Grace, P7 pupils at Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Phort Righ. The full class was kitted out with t-shirts, bags and water bottles emblazoned with the new cottages.com MacTavish Cup logo as a reward for their help in completing the draw.
The full draw is overleaf.
Camanachd Association CEO, Derek Keir said:
“The Camanachd Association is delighted to have had the opportunity to take one of our cup draws to the West Coast of Scotland and engage with the community in Portree. Our thanks go to the club for accommodating us and also to Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Phort Righ pupils for conducting the draw in such a professional manner! Community is at the very heart of shinty which is one of the reasons cottages.com have supported the MacTavish cup and it was great to be able to visit the island of Skye to connect with some of our members in the area.”
cottages.com Business Development Manager, Christine Roberts said:
“We at cottages.com live and work in these communities and that is a core reason that we want to provide this support to shinty – we know just how important the sport is to the people in rural communities across the North of Scotland.”
