Coming home from Kingussie v Newtonmore, 2-1 win to Newtonmore. All the goals came in first half, strangely subdued second half. Newtonmore still have that look of a big physical team, Kingussie were very young mainly but much improved since last season I think.

Overheard some nutter at the station talking about his commute to the recent Kyles v Newtonmore game from his home outside Perth. He is on crutches and reliant on public transport, left on the Friday, home on the Monday. As his lift to Dunoon let him down, and there was no public transport, he was stranded in Tighnabruaich for two days. Dedication!

Hi Le Tout P'ti FC. I'm the aforementioned nutter. I trust you were the fella I met at Kingussie then got on train to Newtonmore? Nice to meet you at last. I'm back to see the Badenoch league match on Saturday - how about yourself?

I'm also heading to the semi at Taynuilt, but taking in the Strathdearn cup game at Fort William on the way. Quietly confident of beating Kyles away from Mossfield or Bught park, but should be a titanic battle.

Two matches this Saturday -- Lovat and Newtonmore 2nds then up the road to Beauly to watch Macaulay cup semi between same clubs - a feast! Great time to be a 'More' fan.
