Scotland selections shows Caberfeidh is growing force in shinty

BLAIR Morrison says the number of Caberfeidh players called up to the Scotland squad shows how the club is becoming a force in shinty.

The defender is one of three players from the Strathpeffer club with forwards Craig Morrison and Kevin Bartlett to be selected to face Ireland.

Kinlochshiel defender Finlay MacRae and midfielder Donald Nixon have also been called up with the two Ross-shire clubs accounting for a quarter of the 20-man squad to play in the shinty/hurling international in Dublin on November 2.

Caberfeidh were only promoted back to the top flight in 2018 and this season secured seventh place in the Premiership.

This term they also made their first semi-final appearance in the Camanachd Cup since 1963.

With the club also being the top scorers in the Premiership with 49 goals, Morrison says the call-ups to the Scotland team shows the respect Caberfeidh has earned this season.
