List of trophies and winners
Hussey Cup
The Hussey cup was donated in 1910 approx by Mr Arthur V Hussey a chemist with the British Aluminium Company at Foyers. It was to be contested annually between Foyers & Stratherrick and any other team in the District should one appear.
With two games home & away scores cumulative, in the event of a draw after both games a deciding game was to be played.
These games were so very keenly contested, with every able bodied person in the district attending the matches that one noted local referee Dan Bethune refused to do any more due to the roughness of play and for fear of his own safety.
1n 1923 it was mooted that the cup be given over to juvenile games with a competition involving Foyers, Stratherrick, Strathnairn, Fort Augustus and Glenurquhart schools but this idea never happened, and in 1925 it was decided to adhere to the original concept .
In the inaugural year 1910 the scores were at Glenlia, Stratherrick 3 Foyers 1, in the return match at Dalcrag played on a Thursday during February, the score was Stratherrick 2 Foyers 0, securing the cup for Stratherrick.
The winners of the cup, as far as can be ascertained from newspaper reports as cup whereabouts are unknown are .
1910-1912 Stratherrick, 1913 Foyers, 1921 Stratherrick .
The cup was last played for in about 1950 approx with Foyers winning 5-2 at the Factory field after game at Stratherrick at Murnich which they also won to lift cup.
Whereabouts of cup is unknown

This Cup was donated to the Strathnairn Camanachd Club in 1923 by W J Cameron Flichity . Possible given at the formation of the club , as it entered national and local cup competitions for the first time ever in 1923-24 season . Just who contested for the cup is open to speculation, games against near neighbours Stratherrick or Strathdearn spring to mind or it could have been between two different districts of Strathnairn . By 1927 the cup was utilised for the Strathnairn games which co-incidentally were run by the Shinty club and presented to best local athlete overall in the athletic events. The trophy having been won three times by Peter Brown Glenbeg, it was withdrawn from competition and presented to Peter to mark the achievement . It has remained in the Brown family ever since, Peters son John who played in the Sutherland cup winning Boleskine team of 1966 is the current family custodian .
