With the clock ticking on, Roddy Young finally spared the champions' blushes and Thomas Borthwick followed up almost immediately, denying Col Glen their first-ever Premiership point.

A goal in either half from Brodie MacBean followed by a strike from the league's top scorer Iain Robinson allowed Newtonmore to maintain their six-point lead although Kingussie have two games in hand.

Connor Howe's strike for Oban Camanachd late in the first half made the difference at Fort William.
