The draw for the Chieftain’s Cup, a competition for single team clubs, has created some long journeys as ten teams battle it out to reach July’s final.
There are just two first round ties but the quarter-finals see Lewis Camanachd travel to Tayforth and the English Shinty Association journey north to Lochcarron.
Glengarry, now managed by talisman Steven Cameron, have home advantage in the last-eight of the competition against Ardnamurchan.
Holders Oban Celtic are unable to defend their crown as their promotion to the Mowi National Division means they are now ineligible for this competition.
