    Extractions: On the Pitch About us Supporting the Club Shinty’s history goes back 2000 years to Ireland and comes from the same root as the Irish sport of hurling. It is thought to have been brought to Scotland by Irish settlers. Legend has it that St Columba who arrived in Iona in AD563 was banished from Ireland because he fell out with his king about a game of Camanachd. Newtonmore Shinty has been played in the Newtonmore area for centuries, but more recently, there are records of shinty being played at the club's present field Eilean Bheannchair - known as the Eilan - since 1877, and the club was formerly re-constituted under the auspices of the newly formed Camanachd Association in 1895. Our record Since then, the club have won the Camanachd Cup - the Scottish national shinty trophy no less than twenty eight times - a record unmatched by any other team in the game. The club has also won the MacTavish cup a record thirty seven times, together with a string of other honours. Rivalries Many clubs throughout Scotland have long and friendly rivalries with Newtonmore - notably, Kyles Athletic have been involved in many well-contested tussles in the past and have something of a special relationship with Newtonmore, each having invited the other to take part in their Centenary celebrations.

In Canada , informal hockey games are still called shinny . It was also a predecessor of bandy In the Scottish Lowlands , it was formerly referred to as common cammon caman cammock (from Scottish Gaelic camag knotty and various other names. Contents The objective of the game is to play a small ball into a goal, or "hail", erected at the ends of a 120 to 160-yard-long pitch. The ball is played using the caman , a stick of about 3 1/2 ft in length. Unlike the Irish camán , it has no blade. A team consists of 12 players, including one goalkeeper. A match is played over two halves of 45 minutes. With the exception of the keeper, no player is allowed to play the ball with his hands. There are also variants with smaller sides, with some adjustments in the field size and duration of play. Whilst erroneous comparisons are often made with field hockey , the two sports vary wildly. In shinty, a player is allowed to play the ball in the air and is allowed to use both sides of the stick. The stick may also be used to block and to tackle, although a player may not come down on an opponent's stick, this is defined as hacking. A player may tackle using the body as long as this is shoulder-to-shoulder as in

A - The most common question with no discovered answer. Personal favourite attempts at explanations for this fast-paced, intense, caman and ball game are: full-contact golf, hokcy - but better, ice hockey without the pads and the 'sport of the curved stick'. Q - Isn't it a dangerous Sport? A- Allegedly, but nonoe of the team are yet mutated. Statistically there's a higher chance of injury from the supplementary shinty activities. So long as helmets (which we provide) and shin pads are worn, the risk is minimal. Q - I've never played before - can I still come? A - Most of our elite athletes started as completed novices, all we ask for is a little enthusiasm (and maybe some inner rage). The club can provide basic equipment. Q - Is there any social life attached?

    Extractions: Shinty (Scottish Gaelic camanachd or iomain) is a team sport played with sticks and a ball. Shinty is now played almost exclusively in the Highlands of Scotland, but it was formerly more widespread, especially in England. The sport was derived from the same root as the Irish game of hurling, and is similar to bandy. Shinty is one of the forebears of ice hockey, Scottish immigrants to Nova Scotia playing a game on ice in 1800 at Windsor. In Canada, informal hockey games are still called shinny. In the Scottish Lowlands, it was formerly referred to as common/cammon (caman), cammock (from Scottish Gaelic camag), knotty and various other names. The objective of the game is to play a small ball into a goal, or "hail", erected at the ends of a 120 to 160-yard-long pitch. The ball is played using the caman, a stick of about 3 1/2 ft in length. Unlike the Irish cam·n, it has no blade. The caman is traditionally made of wood and must not have any plate or metal attached to it. The caman would be made from any piece of wood with a hook in it, hence caman, from the Scottish Gaelic, cam meaning bent or crooked. In the Uists, stalks of seaweed were put to use due to a lack of trees. Modern camans are made from several laminates of ash which are glued and cut into shape, although one-piece camans were still commonplace until the early 1980s. A team consists of 12 players, including one goalkeeper. A match is played over two halves of 45 minutes. With the exception of the keeper, no player is allowed to play the ball with his hands. There are also variants with smaller sides, with some adjustments in the field size and duration of play.

After their fantastic success in the university league this year, Strathclyde went into the Littlejohn Vase brimming with confidence that they could triumph over all other uni's for a second time this year. And they weren't disappointed. After a tough game versus St Andrews and a goalless draw against Glasgow in the group stages, Strathclyde proceeded to record a win over Dundee, the only team to have beaten them this year, in the semi-finals. A convincing 4-0 mauling over Robert Gordon's University in the final ensured that there would only be the name "Strathclyde" on the trophy this year.

    Extractions: Shinty Camanachd, also known as Shinty, has been played in the Highlands of Scotland for over 2000 years. It's a game of the stick and ball variety, similar to Field Hockey and Irish Hurling. There is also a similarity to Golf, in fact Golf is believed to have evolved from Shinty. Shinty played properly is more aerial than Field Hockey due to the wedge-shaped head of the Shinty Stick (called Caman in Scots Gaelic). The grounds at Dunsmuir are too small for a real tournament, however we will be playing a demonstration match of this ancient Scottish field sport on the athletic field at noon. Be sure to visit our tent along the road in the athletic area for more information and to sign up for our newsletter.
