Newtonmore's 55-year-old goalkeeper Kenny Ross saved three time in a penalty shoot-out as the holders came from 2-0 down at Oban Camananchd to reach the Camanachd Cup final.
The holders trailed to Connor Howe's first-half double at Taynuilt and looked spent. But Steven MacDonald pulled one back from the spot and Matthew Sloss equalised with three minutes left.
Camanachd went down to 11 men late in the second half when Garry McKerracher was dismissed, but Newtonmore lost Declan Brannan to a second yellow early in extra time to level things.
And with no further scoring, Ross made three spectacular saves in the shoot-out before Brodie MacBean converted to set up a final with local rivals Kingussie on 19 September in Oban.
Those two lead the way in the Premiership, too, with Kingussie cutting Newtonmore's advantage at the top to four points after coming from behind for a 4-1 victory at Fort William.

Kingussie progressed to their fifth consecutive Tulloch Camanachd Cup final with a 4-1 victory over Skye at Bught Park, Inverness.
Mowi Premiership leaders Newtonmore were shocked by second-bottom Col Glen in a goalless draw at Clachan of Glendaruel.
Kinlochshiel extended their advantage over Fort William in fourth place to four points with a 3-1 success at An Aird. Caberfeidh edged Lochaber 1-0.
A goalless draw at Kilmallie in the National Division was enough to secure a return to the Premiership next season for Glenurquhart.
At the Bught, Savio Genini, on his return from injury, smashed Kingussie in front before Jordan Murchison responded for Skye with a well-worked goal.

A week before the Badenoch derby MacTavish Cup final, both finalists secured Mowi Premiership victories to strengthen their stranglehold at the top of the table.
Newtonmore edged it 2-1 at Fort William while Kingussie overwhelmed Oban Camanachd 7-0 at Mossfield.
Newly-promoted Col Glen registered their first ever Premiership points and victory when they overcame Lochaber 4-2 at Clachan of Glendaruel to exit the relegation zone. They are replaced by Skye, who went down 2-1 to Kinlochshiel in Portree.
However, Kyles remain bottom and pointless following a 2-1 defeat by Caberfeidh at Tighnabruich.
Brodie MacBean netted early in both halves to maintain Newtonmore's six-point lead despite a Victor Smith penalty for Fort.
