Caberfeidh full back Ryan Simmonds has sustained a knee problem which will keep him out for a month, starting with tomorrow’s home National Division game with Fort William.
Manager Jodi Gorski, whose players have drawn their opening fixtures, said: “Ryan’s absence will be a big blow. Scott MacLachlan or fit-again Gavin Macdonald will fill his place. We’ve been playing well and I’m delighted with the way former Lovat man Kevin Bartlett is settling in.”
