Fort made to fight by lower-league battlers

CAMANACHD Cup holders Fort William booked their place in tomorrow's third-round draw but were almost on the end of an upset.

Very few people would have given lower league Kinlochshiel a chance against the holders and Premier League leaders at An Aird. However, they romped into a 2-0 lead and led 3-1 before succumbing 5-3, Bryan Simpson (2), Victor Smith (2) Gary Innes and John MacDonald netting for Fort.

Last year's beaten finalists, Kyles, took extra time and sudden death penalties to see off local rivals Bute.
