Former Kingussie manager Iain Borthwick has made an immediate return to the game as he was named as Badenoch manager ahead of the Women’s Camanachd Association shinty season. Iain Borthwick is clearly relishing his new role and said: “I’d no sooner stepped down as Kingussie manager than Badenoch player Rachael Borthwick messaged me to see if I’d be interested in coming on board with Badenoch. Kirsty Deans won’t be available for the early part of the season, and we have three players at university. However, his focus is on his own side, and they will be without three significant players this season including Scotland captain Mairi Duncan. I hope Katie MacDonald, Bethany Macintosh, Breagha Schuman and Sadie Macillraith will all get more game time this year.
