Beauly and Ord Junior Shinty Club

U12 Shinty World Cup Final

3/7/10 at FortWilliam

Beauly 0 Newtonmore 1

Beauly took to the field on a typical FortWilliam day showers and wind ! Newtonmore settled into the game better and had the Beauly defence under pressure from the start. With 8 minutes on the clock Newtonmore took the lead when a cross field ball caught out the defence and the forward scored from the edge of the "D". This spurred the Beauly boys on and they pushed for an equaliser. Kieran MacTavish was unlucky when he unleashed a shot from 20 yards which crashed off the underside of the bar bounced on the line but stayed out. The second half was edged by Beauly but unfortunately they could not find the equaliser. Beauly played well as a team on the day and well done to all the guys.

Newtonmore 2 Beauly 1

We left Beauly with torrential rain falling and unbelievably the rain stayed away for the whole of the match !!

The team had a stern talking too by the coach at half time and this had the desired effect. Beauly had the upper hand in the second half but could not turn it into goals. But with five minutes to go William Zibleski struck a low shot from the penalty spot low into the net. Beauly pushed for the equaliser and Sandy Elrick had two low drives that fizzed past either post. Newtonmore held on for victory.

Kingussie 1 Beauly 1

Beauly travelled down to play Kingussie with three of the older players missing from the team. The match was end to end in the first 10 mins with the younger players taking a little time to settle into the match. Kieran MacTavish was causing the Kingussie defence problems with his strong tackling at full forward and came close on a couple of occasions. Kingussie looked dangerous up front but were shackled by the strong tackling Beauly defence that was made up of two sets of brothers , Ryan and Liam Symonds and Calum and Andrew Morrison. Half time came with the teams locked at 0-0. The second half was six minutes gone when Kingussie were awarded a soft free hit on the edge of the "D" and after a skirmish Kingussie took the lead. This inspired the Beauly boys to push harder for the equaliser. The coaches re organised and moved Sandy Elrick to wing forward and this paid off when he crossed into the centre and Kieran MacTavish struck the equaliser. Beauly pushed everyone forward looking for the winner and had Josh Grant in goals to thank for coming away with a point. He saved a hard struck shot going into the top corner and in the last seconds of the game Kingussie lofted the ball goal wards and Josh expertly tipped it over the bar. Well done to all the boys for their efforts. The best Beauly players on the day were Josh Grant , Calum Morrison and "Goal a Game" Kieran MacTavish.

Beauly 1 Kingussie 3

This match was the first outing for the U14s this year. Some of the players were a little rusty but soon got into the game. The first half was a very even contest and with 23 min gone Beauly took the lead when Kieran MacTavish went on a run and finished from a tight angle.

Saturday 7th November

Glenurquhart 3 Beauly 1

it was a beautiful sunny winter morning when the teams took to the field with a difficult low sun. Beauly started the game well with the sun at their backs. It was end to end stuff with some excellent shinty being played by both teams. With 20 mins on the clock Beauly took the lead when a fine pass from Colin Macdonald found Lewis Ross in space and he finished well. Beauly then had a superb 10 min spell creating chance after chance but could not score. Glenurquhart pushed forward and were kept at bay with good goalkeeping from Josh Grant and rugged defence from Calum Morrison , Peter Cowman , Ryan Symonds and Ryan Mackay. With half time approaching Ewan Brady had a long range effort which eluded three defenders and found the net to bring Glen level.

The second half started with the sun stronger and this caused major problems for the Beauly defence who could not see the ball coming at them. Glenurqhuart used this too good advantage and took the lead shortly after the restart and soon made it three. Beauly steadied the ship and created a few chances but could not reply.

Beaulys best players on the day were Ryan Symonds and Calum Morrison.

David and Iain would like to thank all of the U14 players for there commitment and efforts over the season. They would like to wish the members bound for the U17 "Good Luck" and to the others KEEP TRAINING AND PRACTICE THESE BALL SKILLS!!!!
