The Wester Ross outfit will be looking to bounce back from their 3–2 defeat to Lovat in the Macaulay Cup last week.

Fraser Heath put Lovat in front midway through the first half, but Jordan Fraser equalised with 11 minutes remaining in regular time to force the match into extra time.

Heath put Lovat in front in the 104th minute, but Kinlochshiel levelled again six minutes later through Donald Nixon.

But Marc Maclachlan scored the winner two minutes from time to send the Kiltarlity outfit into the last four.

Kinlochshiel are seven points behind league leaders Kingussie but do have a game in hand.

But Kinlochshiel know they can’t afford any more slip ups if they want to keep hopes of winning their first league title since 2018 alive.

Caberfeidh are also looking to bounce back from being knocked out of the Macaulay Cup quarter finals after they suffered a 4–1 defeat to Kingussie at Castle Leod

They will face Kingussie in the semi final who beat Caberfeidh for the third week in a row after winning 4–1 at Strathpeffer.

Forward Craig Morrison put Caberfeidh in front after five minutes.

But Kingussie stormed back and levelled with Savio Genini equalising after 15 minutes.

Roddy Young scored twice in the final two minutes of the first half to put them 3–1 up after the break.

Young then scored five minutes into the second half to kill the game off.

There is also a Ross derby in North Division One as Lochcarron welcome Caberfeidh Reserves to Battery Park.

Meanwhile Kinlochshiel Reserves are scheduled to welcome Glengarry to Balmacara on Saturday.
