That strike was Macdonald's fourth of the afternoon in a game which fully lived up to its pre-match billing as being too tight to call.
The early pressure came from Inveraray who adapted quickly to Mossfield's blustery conditions and their ability to run with the ball saw them take an early lead when in the ninth minute Chris Crawford evaded his marker and slipped the ball inside to front man Russell Mackinlay who stabbed it past Kyles keeper Kenny Macdonald to put Inveraray 1-0 up.
