Holders Glenurquhart are out of the Artemis MacAulay Cup after Lovat won 4-2 at Balgate.
Neale Reid fired the Glen into the lead in the seventh minute but Lovat's Martin Mainland levelled five minutes before the interval. Glenurquhart's David Smart looked to have given his side a crucial advantage with a goal 25 minutes from time but in a dramatic four-minute spell Lovat won the game, scoring three times through Greg Matheson (2) and Kevin Bartlett.
Lovat will play Kinlochshiel for a place in the North Area final after the Wester Ross side came from behind to beat Kingussie 4-3 at the Dell.
Competition favourites Newtonmore struggled to subdue a lively Lochaber side. Even after Fraser MacKintosh had fired Newtonmore into the lead with almost an hour played the outcome remained in the balance until a hat-trick from Danny MacRae and a late strike from Glen MacKintosh edged them into the next round where they will face Fort William.
The Fort put their league problems behind them as they enjoyed a 4-1 win over Kilmallie. Gary Innes scored twice and Daniel Stewart was also on target. Kilmallie defender Iain Robertson put through his own net before Mark Graham scored a late consolation for the Area League side.
Two first-round ties in the South section failed to go ahead but Inveraray and Oban Camanachd are through after wins over Glasgow Mid Argyll and Glenorchy. Beauly are through to the last 16 of the Scottish Hydro Camanachd Cup following a 5-2 win over Strathglass. They will play Oban Camanachd at home.
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.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
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 also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
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
