The name of Kinlochshiel has never been chiselled into the ornate base of the sport's most important trophy since it was first contested more than a century ago.
The small club from Balmacara, close to the Skye Bridge, has simply never made an impression in the competition. Indeed, the semi-final against Inveraray, televised live from An Aird on BBC Alba, is their first. What a tale it would be, then, if they could make it to the final in Oban in September.
