Kyles’ sizzling form gives coach a boost
The double winners, who maintained their excellent form by hammering Kingussie 5-2 on Saturday, lost the league decider to ’More last term. Kyles were only nine minutes away from the championship on the final day in Dunoon when a Danny McRae goal dramatically secured Newtonmore the title. Some suggest that will hand Newtonmore a psychological edge going into this weekend. But, after watching his men sizzle against Kings, Perlich said: “I think that match will make them more determined this week.”
On Saturday, Kingussie struck through a Fraser Munro double, but Roddy MacDonald, Thomas Whyte (2), Dunky Kerr and Ewan Campbell secured the win for Kyles.
