Newtonmore are Orion Premiership champions for the fourth year in a row after a 3-1 win over Kinlochshiel at Kirkton, but celebrations are on hold as the Badenoch club begin a week of intense preparation for Saturday's Camanachd Cup final against Kyles at An Aird.
With Kinlochshiel still under threat of relegation this was never going to be a stroll for the reigning champions, but their ever reliable forward trio of Danny MacRae, Glen MacKintosh and Fraser MacKintosh came up with the goods when it mattered.
MacRae and Glen MacKintosh put them two ahead in the opening 15 minutes before Duncan MacRae responded for the Wester Ross side. Fraser MacKintosh completed the scoring three minutes before the break.
Meanwhile, 45 miles along the A87, Newtonmore's reserve side added the North Division Two title trophy to the Eilan trophy cabinet after a 6-0 win over Glengarry.
With Newtonmore bagging two trophies, Glasgow Mid Argyll were hoping to go one better by grabbing three major prizes.
The city club's ladies were looking for a double success at Newtonmore but the day started badly when they lost 4-0 to Strathglass in the final of the Marine Harvest Challenge Cup.
In the day's main event, the Valerie Fraser Cup, the Glasgow side were clear favourites but stumbled badly, losing 3 -1 to local side Badenoch and Strathspey.
There was more than a little consolation when their senior men's side lifted the South Division One title with a stirring 3-2 win over Bute in a championship showdown in Rothesay.
Goals from Andy Mathie,Euan Forsyth and Angus MacKintosh saw off the islanders' challenge.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
