THE Camanachd Association should know later today whether Lochaber
Camanachd will take them to court in a bid to have Saturday's
Glenmorangie Camanachd Cup semi-final halted.
The Spean Bridge shinty side's solicitors have written to the
association outlining the likelihood of court action. Lochaber are
considering their advice and are expected to decide on the possibility
of seeking an interdict later today.
Club spokesman Kenny MacKintosh said: ''We feel we have to take this
matter all the way now to ensure that such a situation never again
arises. The association's decision to throw us out of the competition
when we couldn't field a team for a midweek match was a gross
injustice.''
Association president Ken Thomson said the situation was ''very
regrettable'' but beyond that he could not comment until the solicitors'
letter had been received.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
