Shinty in the Highlands - Two matches between Kingussie and Newtonmore

The film opens with both sets of players posing the camera. A fixed shot shows the Newtonmore team upon some steps, while a panning shot reveals the players of the Kingussie team. Footage of the match follows. The action is presented from behind one of the goals.

Caption cards are used to inform us of the scoring and that the match had to be abandoned due to a pitch invasion. Following a Kingussie goal, the film moves between different groups of spectators. The film then moves on to show the replay. This time, action from the match is intermingled with footage of the crowd. The film ends as the crowd leave the match.
