Newtonmore goalkeeper Kenny Ross went from villain to hero as he helped his side move three points clear at the top of the Mowi Premiership with a hard-fought 3-1 win at Caberfeidh.

More led 2-0 thanks to an Iain Robinson double before a mistake from Ross allowed Craig Morrison to half the deficit.

Craig MacLeod restored Newtonmore’s two-goal advantage in the second half while Ross also saved a penalty to snuff out the home side’s hopes of getting back into the game.

Goalkeeper Ross said: “It’s always a tough game here. We got off to a good start with two goals before a terrible error. I hold my hands up but hopefully I redeemed myself in the second half.

“The defence in front of me were absolutely outstanding and really limited them. If you can come here and take two points it’s a really good win. We’re top of the table so we’re happy.”

More boss Norman MacArthur said: “I’m delighted to get a result. I knew it would be a hard game here but our defence was outstanding.

“Mike Russell was man of the match for me but Rory equally, picked up Craig and hardly gave him a shot.

“Rossco in goals, he made a mistake for the first goal but had three or four cracking goals and saved the penalty. It’s a brilliant result.”

Caberfeidh boss Garry Reid hopes his side can learn from their defeat in the top of the table clash.

He said: “I’m disappointed with how the game went and the result.

“We had a couple of chances and Newtonmore goalie Kenny showed age isn’t a barrier with a couple of brilliant saves and he saved the penalty.

“Overall I’m slightly disappointed with our performance. We let ourselves down a bit but we’re competing with the top of the table teams.

“We just need to get a little more streetwise and never forget to play shinty.”
