Whack!

Back blip

My first night in Newtonmore coincided with a shinty match taking place between Kingussie (the home side, and here seen in blue and red) and Newtonmore (in blue and white).

Shinty is a very physical sport and these teams are local rivals - the villages being only four miles from one another - so it was an intense and very enjoyable match to watch, despite the pouring rain throughout!

The match ended in a 1-1 draw, although Newtonmore won a penalty-shot decider.
