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.
