Malcolm Clark was switched from wing centre to the forward line for Oban Camanachd’s Scottish Sea Farms Celtic Society Cup quarter final at Bute, scored two goals, then had to go to hospital.
An eventful day ended with a worrying injury concern for Oban Camanachd boss Gareth Evans following his side’s 5-0 win.
Evans said: “Malcolm’s damaged his ankle and it’s a big worry for us as we wait to find out the extent of his injury.
“We made changes following last week’s defeat to Kyles Athletic – and now we face them in the semi-final.
“The performance was better and Bute’s young keeper Stuart Sutherland was outstanding.
“Nineteen-year-old Ross Campbell, who had been on the fringes of the team, got his first senior 90 minutes and a goal, which is good for the lad.
“Evan MacLellan came off with a knee injury but he might be OK for next weekend.”
Louie MacFarlane grabbed a goal in each half, as did Clark, with Campbell completing the scoring in 75 minutes.
